Abstract: Expert jurors in environmental public interest litigation present the following practical characteristics: professional of environmental rights and interests relief, all-round protection of public interests, comprehensive realization of judicial justice. In the existing practice of expert jurors, the selection, work and job security of the corresponding personnel have not received due response from the reformers, and there are problems such as insufficient specificity of the legal basis, deviation of the selection method from the needs, and lack of relationship coordination. Taking into account the useful practice of various countries in terms of normative basis, personnel selection and structural arrangement, and responsibility allocation, reformers should form a legal norm system covering the organization, work and security of expert jurors, build a personnel selection mechanism that combines recommendation and selection, and develop the support force for different organizations to accept expert jurors from the perspective of concept and practice.

摘要： 环境公益诉讼中的专家陪审员拥有环境权益救济的专业性、公共利益保护的全面性、司法正义实现的综合性等特征。在已有的专家陪审员实践中，相应人员的选任、工作与任职保障均未得到改革者的应有回应，存在法律依据细化不足、选任方式偏离需求、关系协调较为匮乏等问题。结合各国在规范依据、人员选任与结构安排、职责分配等方面的有益经验，改革者需形成涵盖专家陪审员组织、工作与保障的法律规范体系，并构建推荐与选拔相结合的人员选任机制，且从理念与实践上发展不同主体接纳专家陪审员的支持力量。
