论习惯在司法实践中的应有地位

我国现行法律并没有确认民事习惯的应有地位，这造成法官在审判实践中不能充分利用当地习惯公正地裁断案件；同时也使民事法律缺乏社会适应性，导致国家制定法的执行困境，使国家制定法难以得到人们内心的认可，甚至使国家制定法被人们敌意规避。因而，我国的民事立法应该确立民事习惯在民法中的补充渊源地位，化解制定法与习惯的冲突，软化立法以增强法律的社会适应性，强化司法以增强法律在人们心中的严肃感。

On the proper position of customs in judicial practice

The current Chinese law does not confirm the proper position of customs. As a result, the judge can not make full use of local customs in trial practice. It also maks civil the law lack social adaptability and leads to the implementation plight of the Act. And the Act is even deliberately avoided by people. Thus, the civil legislation should regard customs as the additional sources of civil law, resolve the conflicts between statutory law and customs, and soften legislation to enhance the society adaptability of the law, strengthen the judiciary in order to enhance the law＇s serious sense in people＇s minds.
