三司推事
唐代司法制度。遇有重大案件,由皇帝下诏敕,任命刑部、御史台、大理寺官员临时组成法庭共同审理,此即三司推事。凡被委派参与审理的一般官员,都叫“三司使”。三司推事为实现司法公正提供了制度保障,对后世影响深远,明清时期的“三法司会审”即源于此制。
This refers to a judicial system in the Tang Dynasty. For major cases, the emperor would issue anedict to appoint officials from the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate, and the Court of Judicial Reviewto temporarily form a court for joint trial. That was called joint trial by three departments. All generalofficials appointed to participate in the trial were called the “Three Judicial Commissioners.” Thepractice guaranteed judicial fairness and had a profound impact on later generations, inspiring, forexample, “the joint trial of three judicial offices” in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
