摘要
在民间法研究的话语中,司法适用是必须与高度重视的问题。通过实证研究发现,当前民间法的司法适用整体样态是:国家司法机关对民间法的司法适用并不是非常的赞同和鼓励;基层法院和少数民族地区社会纠纷解决中存在民间法的司法适用;部分地区开始了民间法司法适用的试点。当前民间法司法适用的基本特征是:私法领域适用较多,公法领域适用比较罕见;程序法领域基本不适用,实体法领域适用相对较多;法官在积极、务实、审慎、适当的前提下,对民间法的运用可能会背离了我国法律文本,但是从本质上看与我国法律的精神内涵实质是相符合的。进一步考察民间法的司法适用,应该把之放在国家法的视域下、中国传统文化的语境下、法治建设的语境下、现代化的语境下来看其发展趋势。
In the context of folk law study, the judicial application of folk law is of great significance. In this paper we make empirical investigation and identify the current situation of the judicial application of folk law as follows. First, state judicial authorities are not very supportive of the judicial application of folk law. Second, folk law has been applied mainly by grass-root courts and in dispute settlement in regions inhabited by ethnic minority groups. Third, some regions have started to experiment on the judicial application of folk law. The basic characteristics of the judicial application of folk law are as follows. First, it has gained wider application in the field of private law but not in public law. Second, there is basically no application in the field of procedural law but great application in substantive law. Third, as long as the judge adopts a positive, pragmatic, prudent and appropriate attitude, even when the judicial application of folk law may violate or deviate from the texts of existing law, such application could still be in conformity with the spirit of law. It is necessary that future study of the judicial application of folk law should take into full consideration of the context of state law, the Chinese traditional culture, improving the rule of law and modernization.
