司法确定性理论是美国法理学家德沃金以权利为本位提出的观点,他从帕尔默案等疑难案件入手,用阐释的态度分析了法官审判时适用法律的过程,主张司法既不是僵化的规则适用,也不是缺乏规则时的任意裁量,而是在规则空缺或显失公正时,把道德基础和政治决定等背景权利作为标准,转而适用法律原则,从而赋予司法唯一的确定性结论。司法确定性理论给长久以来饱受争议的“膨胀的法官自由裁量权”合理的解释,对我国的司法实践的有非常大的借鉴意义。

Judicial certainty theory is the view put forward by American jurisprudence Dworkin on the basis of right. Starting with difficult cases such as Palmer’s case, Judicial certainness theory analyzes the process of applying law by judges in trial, and holds that judicial practice is neither rigid nor rigid Nor is it an arbitrary discretion in the absence of rules, but instead adopts the background rights of ethical foundations and political decisions as criteria in the absence of rules or in manifestly unfair, and instead applies the principle of law to give the judiciary the only definitive conclusion . Judicial certainness theory has given controversial “expansionary judge ’s discretion ” reasonable explanation, have very great reference meaning to our country ’ s judicial practice.
