摘要： 在T市的司法实践中，处于法律与行政机构之间的中级人民法院常常通过寻求党委的支持来推进法院工作，增强司法权威。法院设计了多种有效的司法创新具体措施，来规制行政机关滥用权力的行为，包括行政负责人出庭应诉制度、司法建议以及创造性地运用法律等。在行政诉讼的语境下，法院与政府关系的动态发展表明，法院在将国家法律转化为地方法治实践过程中的角色并非总是消极和微不足道的。而社会稳定目标、产业结构的转型、行政机关的权力与资源、法官职业化程度等，都是影响法治发展的重要因素。

Abstract: Drawing on data from a midsized city, this article finds that the courts, caught between the unruly administrative agencies and legal rhetoric, seek support from the Party to enhance their authority. They then devise tactics such as putting the chief official of agencies on the stand, issuing judicial suggestions, and innovatively applying the laws. Contrary to the conventional wisdom that the courts are only a passive actor in local politics, the development indicates that the role of the courts is by no means negligible in translating the national laws into local practice. Social stability, industrial structure, the power and resource of administrative agencies, and professionalism of court staff are important factors affecting the development of the rule of law.
