【Abstract】 This paper discourses on the issue of the “Gate-keeper” of Forensic science from the aspects of the establishment of forensic science institutions, the initiation of forensic examination procedures and the review and affirmation of expert opinions. The author holds that the reform of forensic science system shouldn’t be carried out at the expense of the judges’ function as the “Gate-keeper” of expert opinions, which is supported by comparing the forensic science system in the civil law system and the common law system, analyzing three defense lines of the “Gate-keeper” of expert opinions, and discussing the deficiencies in forensic science system in China.Finally, the author gets the conclusion that the establishment of non-profitable and neutral forensic science institutions is the only way leading to the development of forensic science system in China.
