做到严格执法、公正司法，就要信仰法治、坚守法治。“法不阿贵，绳不挠曲。”这就是法治精神的真谛。如果不信仰法治，没有坚守法治的定力，面对权势、金钱、人情、关系，是抵不住诱惑、抗不住干扰的。任何国家任何制度都不可能把执法司法人员与社会完全隔离开来，对执法司法的干扰在一定程度上讲是客观存在的，关键是遇到这种情况时要坚守法治不动摇，要能排除各种干扰。
To strictly enforce the law and administer justice impartially, we must believe in and adhere to the rule of law. As the Chinese saying puts it, “The law does not favor the rich and powerful, just as the marking- line does not bend at will.” This is the essence of the rule of law. If judicial and law enforcement professionals do not believe in, or do not have the resolve to adhere to, the rule of law, then they will be unable to resist temptation when they come face to face with power, money, or social connections. No country or system can wholly separate its judicial and law enforcement professionals from society, and so there will always be a certain degree of interference in the enforcement of law and the administration of justice. What counts is that when judicial and law enforcement professionals are faced with these kinds of situations, they are able to eliminate any interference by remaining committed to the rule of law.
