摘　　要：死刑复核程序是最高人民法院对于判处死刑的案件进行复审核准所进行的一项特别审判程序,是我国被判处死刑的犯罪分子的“最后一道司法防线”。但我国的死刑复核程序自施行以来,一直饱受学界与实务界的争议。其原因在于死刑复核程序虽作为特殊审判程序,但其行政化色彩尤为浓厚,审理过程呈现秘密性、书面性的特点,导致被告人辩护权利无法得到充分保障。这些问题出现的根源在于核准死刑的最后环节:死刑复核程序中,被告人作为弱势群体,无法充分行使辩护权;辩护人亦是如此,即便近年来法律条文逐渐明晰辩护人在死刑复核案件中的各项权利,但在实践中仍是深受掣肘。故本文检索了2020年1月1日至2022年12月20日公布于中国裁判文书网上的127份死刑复核刑事裁定书,并对其进行统计、分析,以完成对死刑复核程序中律师辩护制度的探讨,提出完善建议,以期保证司法公正,保障当事人正当权益。The death penalty review procedure is a special trial procedure in which the Supreme People’s Court reviews and approves cases in which the death penalty has been imposed. It is the “last line of judicial defence” for criminals sentenced to death in our country. However, since the execution of the death penalty review procedure, the academic and practical circles have been controversial. The reason lies in the fact that although the death penalty review procedure is a special trial procedure, it is particularly administrative, and the hearing process is secret and written, which leads to the defendant’s defense rights cannot be fully guaranteed. The root cause of these problems lies in the final link of death penalty approval: in the death penalty review procedure, the defendant, as a vulnerable group, is unable to fully exercise the right to defense;The same is true for defenders. Although the legal provisions have gradually clarified their rights in death penalty review cases in recent years, they are still hampered in practice. Therefore, this paper retrieved 127 criminal decisions of review of death penalty published on the website of China Judgment Documents from January 1, 2020 to December 20, 2022, and made statistics and analysis on them, in order to complete the discussion of the lawyer defense system in the review procedure of death penalty, and put forward suggestions for improvement, in order to ensure judicial justice and protect the legitimate rights and interests of the parties.
