司命千里——宋朝司理参军制度

宋初设置司理参军,是赵宋一代地方司法权整顿的重要措施,亦是地方属官体制改革的最重要手段。司理参军作为刑狱官的专职化,是宋代狱贵初情的重要表现,极大促进了宋朝州级司法特于详断之初的科学化;司理参军的设置,形成了鞫司,亦使宋代司法参军检法职能专职化,形成谳司。二者作为曹官系统与推官、判官所在幕职官系统类似判司职能的环节化,共同完成了宋朝独具特色鞫谳分司制度的建构。

The Silicanjun System of the Song Dynasty

Silicanjun constructed in the early Song Dynasty,an important measure to rectify the local jurisdiction,and also served as the most important means of the local official's reform. As the professional prison official,the location of Silicanjun demonstrated that evidence was of high importance before a trial,which greatly improved the municipal- level court proceedings in the Song Dynasty. The situation of Silicanjun also pushes forward the separation of prosecution and trial.
