两大诉讼法修正后,条文中"专家辅助人"的法律地位、享有权利及承担义务、法律责任等事项的研究逐成热点,目前尚无法律法规予以规范。应着手研究其职能的扩展,独立的地位以及权利制约,进一步推进专家辅助人制度的完善和发展。

Since the two procedure laws were changed, the legal status, the rights and obligations, the legal responsibility of expert assistants have become hot spots of studies.The research should cover the expansion of its function, the independent legal status and the restriction of its rights for the perfection and improvement of the expert assistant system .

既判力扩张问题是民事诉讼法领域中的前沿理论问题，《民事既判力扩张问题研究》一书从既判力的主观范围、客观范围和效力范围三个不同的角度对于既判力的扩张展开了深入的研究。诉讼法学界多位专家对于该著作作了高度评价，充分肯定其所具有的理论意义和现实价值。

The expansion of civil resjudicata is frontier theory problems in the field of civil procedure law, the book of“On the Expansion of Civil Resjudicata“from the subjective scope, the objective scope, scope of effect of resjudicata three different angles to study the expansion of resjudicata. Procedural law experts highly evaluate the work, fully affirms the theoretical significance and practical value of it.

先进的诉讼法制国家普遍将民事程序选择权确立为当事人的一项基本程序权利。关于民事程序选择权,在我国的民事诉讼法以及相关司法解释中虽有规定,但不太系统,且职权主义色彩太浓,导致司法实践中当事人的民事程序选择权大多流于形式。笔者在对两大法系主要国家关于民事程序选择权的立法规定加以介绍,试图通过了解当前世界法治较发达国家的立法规定,立足国情,借鉴国外立法,以期在完善立法方面有所帮助。

In countries where there is an advanced procedural law ,usually the right to chose a civil procedure is the primary procedural right of the party .There are also rules in our country''s Civil Procedure Act and its relevant legislative explanations ,but they are neither systematic enough nor free of the feature of power .As a consequence ,it is usually a matter of form for the party to carry out his right of choosing their civil procedures .In this essay ,relevant legislative rules about this right in the major two law systems are introduces .The writer attempts to be helpful in perfecting legislation by learning from foreign legisla -tion with our country''s reality as the staring point .

实体法与程序法之关系论是诉讼法学研究的理论问题之一,但由于概念不清和视角欠妥,导致各种学说无法为解决＂重实体轻程序＂问题提供恰当的理论依据。诚然,出现＂重实体轻程序＂现象具有深层次的复杂原因,但学术研究对此几乎无所建树也难咎其辞。基于此,我们着眼于将纠纷解决机制作为一种＂场＂的理论,进而分析实体法和程序法各自发挥作用的空间及其功能,得出程序法之功能仅在于保障程序自身的顺利进行,它与实体法的创设或实现并无必然的联系。

The relationship between substantive law and procedural law is one of the theoretical issues of procedural law research,but inappropriate concepts and perspectives lead that all kinds of theories can''t provide the appropriate theoretical basis to solve the problem of “heavy entity and light proce-dure”.It is true that there are many deep complex reasons which cause the appearance of“heavy entity and light procedure”,while what is hard to blame is that academic research has almost no contribu-tions.Therefore,if we take the dispute resolution mechanism as a kind of“field”theory,and then ana-lyze the space and functions of substantive law and procedural law,the procedural law''s function is on-ly to ensure the smooth operation of the program itself,and it is no inevitable connection with the es-tablishment or implementation of substantive law.

专家辅助人制度是近年来我国诉讼法确立的一项新制度，无论在理论研究层面，还是在立法层面，乃至实践操作层面，专家辅助人资格的认定标准和认定程序都存在不足。在域外，存在与我国专家辅助人相似的一些制度，比如英美法系的专家证人制度、美国的法院之友、英国的技术陪审员、意大利的技术顾问、日本的诉讼辅佐人制度等，这些国家在规定这些制度时都对专家的资格审查、认定设立了相应的标准和程序。笔者在借鉴域外相关国家和地区法律规定的同时，结合中国现实国情，从专家辅助人的资格认定标准、资格审查程序以及其他辅助性制度等三方面提出建议。

Expert auxiliary system is newly established by procedure laws in China in recent years. Whether at the theoretical research level, or at the legislative level, and even at the level of practice, expert auxiliary personal qualiifcation identifying standards and procedures are quite inadequate. In the outside, there are some similar systems, such as expert witness system in Anglo-American law system, friends of the court in the United States, the British technical jury, Italy’s technology consultant, Japan''s lawsuit assistants, etc. These countries have established the corresponding standards and procedures of expert qualiifcation examination and identiifcation. In reference to the relevant laws and regulations from other countries and regions and combining with China’s real conditions, the author will give suggestions from three aspects: the specialist aided person''s qualiifcation standards, qualiifcation review procedures, and other auxiliary system.
