The Application of Free Evaluation of Evidence in the Litigation Process

As one of the methods for judges to hear cases during the litigation process, free evaluation of evidence is widely used by adjudicators. It can connect the facts of the case with real - life situations, achieve the unity of legal and social effects, and avoid the rigid and dogmatic characteristics of trials. With the development and evolution of the judicial proof model, corroboration has gradually differentiated from the principle of free evaluation of evidence and has been favored by adjudicators. Through practical verification and academic research, the conclusion is that the perfect integration of corroboration and free evaluation of evidence is the future of China's judicial proof model. However, at the same time, we cannot deny the defects of this system. This article will start from the dilemmas faced by the principle of free evaluation of evidence and formulate measures to ensure the better implementation of the system.
