• Abstract: Considering the judicial practice in China, the rate of expert witnesses appearing in courts is extremely low, and most of them refuse to testify, which is not only difficult to guarantee the credibility of their opinions, but also hinders the smooth proceeding of criminal proceedings, and also affects the exercise of the rights of both parties, especially the defense. According to the current criminal law regulations in China, this article analyzes the reasons, causes and legal consequences of experts who refuse to testify in court. Besides, it refers to and draws on relevant extraterritorial legislation, aiming to improve and refine the relevant laws and substantive penalties for our expert witnesses’ non-appearance in court, and to put forward some suggestions to improve the situation of low attendance rate. 我国司法实践中鉴定人出庭率极低，鉴定人拒不出庭作证不仅难以保障鉴定意见的公信力，阻碍刑事诉讼的顺利进行，还会对双方当事人尤其是辩护方权利的行使造成影响。笔者对我国现行刑事诉讼相关法律规定的鉴定人拒不出庭作证原因、成因以及法律后果进行分析，并参考和借鉴域内外相关立法，旨在能够为细化和完善我国鉴定人不出庭的相关法律和实质性责罚措施，为改善出庭率低下的局面提出一些建议。
