中文摘要：

司法改革研究路径的选择应考虑到司法改革的理论需要。司法改革需要一种根基性、从价值到操作并融入中国国情的理论。学者们曾运用问题对策路径、参考借鉴路径、司法权分析路径、法社会学路径、决策分析路径，探讨中国司法改革的路径问题，产生了很多研究成果，但由于研究路径的内在限制或运用缺陷，这些成果尚不能满足司法改革需要。笔者主张采用以行为主义为主导，融合各种路径的研究方法，为司法改革提供理论依据；这种进路的研究将显现强大的理论解释力和实践应用价值。

英文摘要：

The theoretical demand of judicial reform should be taken into account in the selection of research approaches to judicial reform. Judicial reform needs a theoretical foundation, from value to opera- tion and into china. Since China put forward judicial reform, scholars have used problem-countermeasure approach, approach of reference, analyzing approach of judicial power, law sociological approach and deci- sion-analyzing approach to explore approaches to China＇s judicial reform, producing many research results, but due to the inherent limitations of research approaches or the defects in application, these results still can not meet the need of judicial reform. The author advocates the research approach dominated by behav- iorism, concluding that the research will show great theoretical interpreting strength and value of practical application.
