Calavita's Invitation to Law & Society: Introduction to the Symposium

This essay introduces a Law & Social Inquiry symposium on Kitty Calavita's book Invitation to Law & Society: An Introduction to the Study of Real Law (2010) that features comments on the law and society enterprise by Jeannine Bell, Austin Sarat, and Christopher Tomlins. It briefly discusses the commentators' views of this enterprise as revealed in their essays and challenges points made by each of them. It goes on to discuss the book's suitability as a student‐oriented introduction to the field of law and society, filling a gap the commentators left open.     

Discussion Law & Society Review at Fifty: A Debate on the Future of Publishing by the Law & Society Association

This contribution presents a series of statements on the future of publishing by the Law & Society Review and the Law & Society Association generally. Framed by the first author's introductory and concluding comments are contributions by Halliday, Liu, Morrill, Seron, and Silbey. This debate, based on a LSR 50th anniversary panel held at the 2016 Annual Meeting of the LSA, is intended to open up a broader conversation among members of the Association. Positions by individual contributors can only be linked to them and not to the group of contributors.     

Bucking the Party Line: Calavita's Invitation to Law & Society (In Which the Author Is Invited to a Party Where He Encounters Many Old and Familiar Faces,Becomes Argumentative,Stays Up Too Late,and Finally Departs in Search of New Adventures)

Intended as a short survey text, Kitty Calavita's Invitation to Law & Society expertly summarizes many of the central themes of law and society scholarship as they have developed over the past fifty years. It also clearly identifies the field's object of attention: “real” law. I use this commentary on the book as an opportunity to assess the field as it enters its sixth decade. How has the field changed? What are its defining characteristics? What is “real” law? Does law and society research have a future?     

论科技、经济、社会协调发展的法律机制

自从人类进入工业社会时代以来，日新月异的科学技术极大地推动了社会生产力的发展，改变了经济运行的模式，实现了经济高速增长，并重塑了社会生活的面貌。如动力学原理的确立和蒸汽机的发明使大规模的铁路运输成为现实，从而革命性地促进了商业贸易。便利的交通条件又为人们的流动创造了条件，有助于打破人们由于长期居于一地而形成的保守心态。而人们对更安全、快捷的运输工具的渴望则又推动着运输科技的创新。可以说，经济增长和社会发展有赖于科学技术的进步，同时也刺激了科学技术的进步。科技、经济与社会三者的发展紧密联系、互相依…     

论习惯法与国家法的二元分立及其互动

习惯法与国家法的二元分立在中外法制上均有体现,此种分立植根于社会与国家之间的相对分离。即便如此,在总体目标一致的情况下,习惯法与国家法之间也存在一种互动关系。     

风险社会之刑法应对

风险社会为理解和把握现代刑法提供了全新的观察视角,也为反思传统刑法提供了重要的理论工具。为了应对风险,有必要制定风险刑法。风险刑法在观念、功能和归责等方面与传统刑法有显著不同,对传统刑法基本原则构成挑战,并对传统刑法价值体系进行裂解,隐含有巨大风险。在风险社会,可以采用传统刑法与风险刑法并存的方式,以弥补传统刑法在功能上的不足和责任追究上的漏洞,两者互相支持,共同达成维护社会秩序和安全的目标。     

重塑程序意识——论程序法与实体法的关系

本文从法哲学的高度,通过对程序法与实体法在实践意义上的同一性、目的与手段的辩证关系以及程序法与实体法之间的现实性与可能性联系等三个方面的论述,阐明了程序法与实体法的关系及程序法的重要价值,并对程序法的概念作出了新的界定,提出程序法与实体法区别的相对性,程序正义包涵着无限的实体正义,程序法赋予实体法以现实的法律意义和现实的实体意义等观点。

对现代社会中法律与科技的关系的法哲学阐释

法律制度与科技创新是我们这个时代的重要理论问题。法律如何促进科技创新这一问题,实际上追问的是什么样的法律理论和什么样的法律是有利于促进科技创新的。基于一种法实证主义的立场,法实证主义的中立性和社会性命题支撑了法律制度对科技创新的促进作用,而法实证主义传统的强制性则需要加以更新。促进科技创新的这种特定的法实证主义立场的理论限度就是其道德理论上的限度。
