摘要：

数字时代极大地丰富了裁判说理的依据和素材，但在便捷司法裁判的同时，也改变了裁判的方式和手段。裁判过程的性质决定了决断无可避免，但是这种决断又必须经过正当化和说理。对应到数字时代，就是司法程序的设计和数据的应用需要符合人们对司法本质的要求和理解。这背后反映的是对法的概念观，以及应对司法疑难案件时法典化和判例法两种进路的选择。实际上，寄希望于设计者对所有法律问题悉数预测难度较大，因此就要依靠裁判者的权衡这一判例法进路，这就是司法必须能动的背后机理。“数字化一切”的潮流对司法的影响，从形式意义上是赋能的，但在实质意义上却是解构的。探索司法中能动说理的可能与限度，有赖重新定位法官的角色，锚定能动说理的目标与价值，通过界定法官在个案裁判中的职权和明确对个案正义的追求目标，探寻可以作为个别化裁判的考量因素。

Abstract:

The digital age has greatly enriched the basis and materials for judicial reasoning, but while facilitating judicial adjudication, it has also altered the methods and means of the adjudication process. The nature of the adjudication process dictates that judgments are inevitable, but these judgments must undergo a process ofjustification and reasoning. In the context of the digital age, the design of judicial procedures and the application of data must conform to people’s requirements and understanding of the essence of justice, reflecting their conceptual views on the law and the choice between codification and case law approaches in addressing judicial complex cases. In practice, it is challenging for designers to predict all legal issues, thus relying on the balancing approach of judges, which represents the case law route. The trend of “digitizing everything” has an empowering impact on the judiciary in a formal sense, but in substantive terms, it is deconstructive.
