Abstract: For a long time, appraisal consultation has not received sufficient attention. As a  public good, it is characterized by non-rivalry and non-excludability, capable of generating significant social benefits. The evaluation of its social effectiveness is based on professionalism, service quality, and cost efficiency. The primary social function of appraisal consultation is to prevent and resolve disputes, thereby contributing to the reduction of aggregate social expenditures. This function is central to its role as part of public legal service. To fully bring into play the potential of appraisal consultation, it is strategically essential to ensure coordination between forensic appraisal and other public legal services, as well as alignment with litigation services, while promoting regional collaboration. From a development standpoint, this requires strong government involvement alongside efforts to invigorate market participants. At the same time, the public-private partnership （PPP） model should be actively explored and practiced to optimize the operation mechanism of the public legal service system.

摘要： 长期以来，鉴定咨询未得到充分重视。作为一种公共产品，鉴定咨询具有非竞争性、非排他性的特质，并且能够带来广泛的社会效益。评估司法鉴定咨询社会效果的标准主要包括专业性、服务质量和成本效益。其社会功能在于预防和化解纠纷，进而助力控制社会总支出，这是其作为公共法律服务构成部分的核心职能。为更好发挥鉴定咨询的作用，战略上需要促进司法鉴定与其他公共法律服务的协同、司法鉴定与诉讼服务的整合，并保障区域间司法鉴定的协作。从建设角度来看，既需要政府的大力投入，也需要激发市场主体的活力。同时，积极探索并实践公私合作伙伴（public-private partnership，PPP）模式，以优化公共法律服务体系的运作机制。
