Evaluation and quality assurance of legal services

The issue of evaluating and assuring quality in legal services delivery systems is addressed by considering findings and concepts from research on health-care systems and from the social and behavioral sciences. A framework for conceptualizing the components of quality assurance and for classifying research on quality is offered. The concepts of outcome, process, and structure are the major elements of the framework. Also discussed is the linking of the various components to provide the knowledge necessary to create effective quality-assurance systems.

浅析医疗服务中的产品质量纠纷

医疗服务中的产品质量纠纷在医疗纠纷中占有一定的比例,此类纠纷因医疗服务而产生,但却受到产品质量法的规范和调整。本文结合一个实际案例进行分析讨论。案情原告李某因交通事故受伤,于1999年12月31日入住被告甲医院接受治疗。经诊断为“左股骨干粉碎性骨折,”该医院骨科给原告李某左股骨安装了一根髓内针予以固定。原告手术后左腿膝盖一直不消肿且弯曲受限,虽经被告检查并未发现异常。原告回家两个月后,感觉左腿疼痛难忍,不能行走。于是,原告又到中国人民解放军第254医院拍片复查,发现左股骨髓内针断裂,医生建议行髓内针取出术,再重新行髓…     

Regulating the criminal justice snooper

Existing and anticipated restrictions on the conducting of social research present several opportunities and problems for criminal justice researchers. After reviewing those restrictions, the admittedly controversial techniques of covert and concealed research are used to show how restrictions may influence the direction criminal justice research follows in the coming years. A devil's advocate role is taken and covert and concealed research is championed in order to encourage academicians and practitioners to be both aware and wary of external restrictions on the conducting of social research.     

行政自由裁量权控制的四个模型——兼论中国行政自由裁量权控制模式的选择

自由裁量权是行政权的核心要素。根据控制主体、控制理念、控制制度和控制技术的不同,行政自由裁量权的控制可被归纳为四种模式:通过规则的命令控制模式,通过原则的指导控制模式,通过程序的竞争控制模式,通过监督的审查控制模式。控制自由裁量的核心目标,应当是将自由裁量的行使引向理性化。行政自由裁量失衡和滥用情形的复杂性,决定了单一控制技术无法现实地控制目标。因此,控制行政自由裁量的模式需要从单一控制模式转向复合控制模式。     

Regulating the Reproduction and Morality of Women

ABSTRACT

Punishment and corrections continue to be shaped by political, economic, and religious/moral forces. Yet, penologists tend to overlook another significant social formely, technology. By exploring technological forces, emerging mechanisms of social control are also discerned, especially those relating to female reproduction and morality. In addition to attending to technological forces, this article critically examines various applications of androcentric positivism, in particular the claims surrounding the effects of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and fetal (drug) abuse. While discussing how these technological developments contribute to repressive measures of gendered social control, attention also is directed at the controversy of Norplant as a form of coercive contraception. Issues pertinent to race and class are taken into account as well.     

论市场规制法的价值

法的价值理论要求市场规制法的价值定位必须关注经济法的基本原则和市场规制法的基本原则。市场规制法的自身特征决定了其价值必须定位为(市场)秩序,它内涵了市场公平、市场正义、市场效益、市场安全等价值。市场规制法的秩序不仅是一种经济秩序,而且是一种道德伦理秩序,还是一种法律秩序,因而应从经济、伦理和法律的角度来对市场规制法的秩序价值内涵进行解读。市场规制法的价值冲突并不是与秩序价值的冲突,而是秩序所内涵的某些价值的冲突,价值冲突的协调意味着市场规制法秩序价值的实现。     

Regulating the Trade in Recreational Drugs

This paper examines the market for illegal recreational drugs. Under the present regime of illegality, the law acts as a barrier to entry of other firms. It also restricts the information available to consumers. Both of these effects increase the market power of traders. Other negative consequences of illegality include the use of violence to enforce contracts, poor quality control and the use of illegal activities to finance the purchase of drugs.However, legalizing the trade is likely to lead to greater drug use in the long run. This follows from the addictive nature of recreational drugs. Initial use of the drugs will drastically reduce consumers' price elasticity at any given level of consumption. Firms can increase the extent of the market by using introduction strategies, reducing consumers' price elasticities. Since newly introduced consumers have no brand loyalty, introduction strategies are public goods for firms. Free rider problems will produce oligopoly and collusion. Legalization will lead oligopolistic firms to expand the market.To avoid these problems it is suggested that the recreational drugs industry should be nationalised, not legalised.     

Regulating Legal Misconduct in the Commonwealth of Virginia

Abstract

This research reviews malfeasance committed by legal actors in Virginia over a four-year time period, and examines the corresponding sanctions imposed on them. The inquiry entails the review of disciplinary cases reviewed by the Virginia State Bar. These cases cover a vast spectrum of misconduct ranging from those seemingly venial to those that are flagrantly criminal. The sanctions imposed are examined as well as the reasons for the sanctions. Further, the study examines if rates of misconduct and severity of sanctions vary by gender. Implications that arise from the study are also discussed.
