在熟知盱眙法院民一庭庭长姚月梅的人看来，姚月梅无疑是美的，她的美，正如滋养她的盱眙这片灵山秀水，美得素璞、大方，更兼十几年法官生涯的历练，使她的美凭添了几分温厚、博大。2013年底，她理所当然地被评为淮安市最美法官。

近日，记者慕名到盱眙法院采访。

在民一庭那间稍显拥挤的会议室，记者向刚刚研讨完案件的几位法官说明来意。听说是来采访姚庭长的先进事迹，他们便争先恐后你一言我一语地说开了。这个说，姚庭长是盱眙法院最忙的人，每年自己要办近200件案件，还要审核签发1000多份法律文书；那个说，姚庭长的业务水平高，连续多年办案无发改无投诉。内勤余瑞还拿出两年前刊登姚月梅先进事迹的报纸，向记者讲述姚月梅的感人故事。他深有感触地说：

“姚庭长美就美在对人民群众的的感情真”

余瑞向记者介绍说，姚庭长的为民情怀体现在她所办理的每一个具体案件中。2012年，为了弥合专程从台湾回来作证的88岁老人王某亲属因遗产继承产生的矛盾，使老人不留遗憾，姚庭长二十多次上门调解，终于在老人返台的前一天晚上十点多钟达成了调解协议。今年春节前夕，老人再度回乡探亲，看到一家人和睦如初，感念姚庭长为此付出的心血，打电话邀请姚庭长参加他们的家宴，姚庭长婉言谢绝说，“每个家庭都能和睦幸福，就是我们大陆法官最大的心愿。”2011年，姚庭长为了让身患重病长年卧床的离婚案件女当事人小王今后的生活能有所依靠，没有简单下判，而是苦口婆心反复调解，多次请妇联以及镇村民调组织做工作，使生活并不宽裕的男方自愿举债补偿了6万元生活费用，并协调民政部门为小王办理了低保。现在，姚庭长还时常惦着这个特殊的当事人，不时带领庭里的同志上门看望。在盱眙县官滩镇渔沟村，记者见到了仍然卧病在床身体十分虚弱的小王，小王激动地对记者说：“如果不是姚庭长，我恐怕就活不到今天了。”

在民一庭法官的引导下，记者采访了盱眙法院分管民事审判工作的副院长李家锐，李院长对记者说：

“姚庭长美就美在做矛盾化解工作的盯劲足”

李院长告诉记者，姚月梅善于做群众工作，办法多，盯劲足，她经办的许多案件在诉讼阶段就能案结事了，深受群众信赖。2012年12月的一天，他和姚月梅正在研究案件，办公室来了几位农民工，其中一个从上衣口袋中掏出一把绉巴巴的欠条，情绪激动地说，“我们是代表126位农民工来的。我们辛辛苦苦在工地上打了近一年的工，不想工头却意外死亡了，欠下我们46万元工资款。开发商说与工头之间的工程款已经结清了，工头的家属说家里没有钱，躲着不肯见我们，信访局也解决不了我们的问题。我们知道这钱不好要，搞不好要落空，可我们还是想死马当作活马医，请法院帮我们一把，家里可等着这钱过年啊。”这一群体性纠纷的化解重任理所当然地压到姚月梅的肩上。姚月梅在与农民工的交谈中，敏锐地觉察到，这起纠纷如果处理不当，126个农民工可能越级群访，个别人甚至会走极端。为了防止矛盾激化，姚月梅一次一次做农民工的说服疏导工作，引导他们相信法院、相信法律，使他们的情绪逐步得到稳定。此后多次到县委政法委、县公安局、建设局协调，不厌其烦地做开发商的工作。通过多方努力，终于使这批案件起死回生。在公安局的帮助下，工头的家属找到了，迫于法律的威严，她不得不拿出工头生前存在外地一商业银行的20万元存单；开发商也被姚月梅的执着所感动，主动带着现金支票找到姚月梅说：“宁可我们亏也不能亏了农民工，剩下的26万我们认了！” 126位农民工喜获工资款后，纷纷对当时前来采访的媒体记者说，“感谢法院，感谢法官！”

戴金平是盱眙第一代律师，在盱眙法院从事诉讼代理已经三十多年了，亲眼见证了姚月梅十几年的法官历程 。他告诉记者：

“姚庭长美就美在坚持公正司法的原则性强”

戴金平说，姚月梅的司法公信，源自于她能始终坚守司法公正的底线。2011年底，盱眙世豪房产66户业主因开发商以种种借口，迟迟不给业主办理房产证，一些业主因没有房产证明孩子上不了学、办不了贷款、转售不掉房屋。在多次交涉无果的情况下，到县里上访，经县里相关领导及信访部门反复协调均没有得到解决，最后诉讼到法院，要求开发商办证并支付违约金。承办法官姚月梅在找开发商了解情况时，公司老板自以为公司是招商引资企业，有政府“罩着”，法院也不能把他们怎么样，一次、两次、三次，故意躲着不见，并请县里一位领导向姚月梅施压。姚月梅顶着压力，依法对其释明败诉的风险。开发商并不死心，请那位领导再次“打招呼”，要求不判或少判违约金。姚月梅耐心地向这位领导汇报了案情，得到了这位领导的理解和支持。可开发商仍心存侥幸，觉得法院不会“真判”，对业主的合理要求置之不理。姚月梅果断地选择其中有代表性的一件案件开庭，组织其他业主来旁听，并及时判决。开发商见姚月梅较了真，放弃了非份的想法，很快与其他业主达成了调解协议。

循着民一庭几位法官提供的线索，记者采访了盱眙法院分管执行工作的专委贾晓红。贾专委向记者描述了她心目中姚月梅的另一个侧面：

“姚庭长美就美在严于律己的意志坚”

贾晓红与姚月梅是民一庭的前后任庭长，俩人经常在一起交流工作中的酸甜苦辣。姚月梅常说，虽然办案中会有许多困扰，但只要没有私心，一切问题都会迎刃而解。贾晓红告诉记者，姚月梅的一个亲戚几年前起诉一公司民间借贷，案件判决后申请法院执行。由于公司资金链出了问题，举步维艰，案子一直没有执行掉。这几年民一庭审理这个公司的案件有近百件，经过姚月梅协调在诉讼阶段公司就东挪西凑拿钱解决问题的也有二三十件，可姚月梅从来没有利用工作便利为自己亲戚的案件谋取半点好处。姚月梅的洁身自好在全县是出了名的，虽然有一些当事人试图对她请吃送礼，但没有谁能够撼动她廉洁自律的“防线”。一次姚月梅的一位老领导以朋友小聚的名义请了她，她到饭店后发现一个律师和一个当事人的哥哥也在场，当即离开饭店，这位老领导追出很远，连声责备姚月梅“不给面子”。

采访结束前，记者与姚月梅进行了面对面交谈。姚月梅说：“一个法官该做什么不该做什么，法律、制度、伦理有明确的要求和评判标准，我这十几年只是做了一名基层民事法官该做的事。”从姚月梅朴实的话语里，记者感悟到，恪守法官职业道德正是滋养姚月梅美的源泉，姚月梅也正是以她的坚守，诠释着人民法官美的真谛。
