辩护律师在侦查阶段的调查取证权应当是辩护权的重要组成部分,侦查阶段辩护律师是否享有调查取证权对于提高律师的辩护效果、更好地维护被追诉人的权利具有重要的作用.2012年新修订的刑事诉讼法虽然明确了侦查阶段律师的辩护人地位,扩大了侦查阶段律师的权利,但对于侦查阶段辩护律师是否享有调查取证权,法律规定得比较模糊,2012年底新出台的法律解释对此也未明确规定,由此而带来了诉讼实践问题的产生.因此,立法上应当明确规定侦查阶段辩护律师的调查取证权,并进一步细化制度设计,建立和完善相应的司法保障和救济等配套措施.
The barrister' s right of investigation and evidence collection in the investigation phase is an important part of the right to defense, which helps to ensure the defense effect and the right of the accused. Although the Criminal Procedure Law of 2012 defines the defender's status in the investigation phase and extends barrister's right, provisions concerning the right of investigation and evidence collection remain vague to some extent, and so does the statutory interpretations delivered at the end of 2012. Theo- retically, it inherits the traditional single-track investigation mode; and practices reveal its inadequacies which result in litigations. The paper proposes to clarify the barrister' s right of investigation and evidence collection, to elaborate system design and to estab- lish and then perfect relevant judicial supporting measures.
