巡回审判最初在英国只是作为一种行政调查和王室管理的形式出现,后来经过从综合性到专门性、从行政性到司法性的转变,方成为王室法官了解地方习惯的重要途径,进而为普通法的诞生奠定了基础。更为重要的是,巡回审判与其他司法改革措施一道落实了亨利二世“通过法律整合政治。通过司法统一法律”的整体构想。因此,对英国巡回审判制度的形成进行一番梳理,无论是对于中国当下巡回法庭制度的构建,还是对于中国未来司法改革蓝图的设计而言,都有着比较重要的参考价值。 Circuit judgments first appeared in the UK as a form of administrative investigation and royal administration. Later, from the transition from comprehensiveness to specialization and from administrative to judiciality, the trial of ruling parties became an important way for royal judges to learn about local customs, The birth of the law laid the foundation. More importantly, the Circuit Judgment, together with other judicial reform measures, implemented the overall vision of Henry II, “Integrating Politics by Law and Reunifying Justice by Law.” Therefore, to sort out the formation of the Circuit Judge System in the United Kingdom has an important reference value both for the establishment of the circuit court system in China and for the design of the future blueprint for judicial reform in China.
