摘　　要：疑难案件自司法活动产生之时就开始存在。中国古代法官与现代法官虽然处于不同的社会、政治、法律、文化环境之中,但却同样面对着疑难案件处理时的困境。事实认定以及法律适用上的难题使法官们头痛不已。但也正是疑难案件成就了法官职业的崇高与辉煌。中国古代法官在处理疑难案件时表现出这样的特点:法官具有一定的自由裁量权,但受到各种法外因素影响,需要依靠法官强烈的社会责任感才得以实现正义。The tough cases have already existed since the start of judicial activities. Though in different social, political, legal and cultural environments, both of the judges in ancient and modern China have to face the difficulties of processing tough cases. The problems of the fact - finding and legal application make the judges feel painful. However, it is also the tough cases that make judge as a profession noble and glory. In ancient China, judges in handling tough cases show such features： judges have some discretion, but their judgments are also affected by various factors outside the law and rely on their strong social sense of responsibility to achieve justice.
