问题与变革：宪法学视域中的中国社团立法

中国社团立法对于加强社团的登记管理起到了积极作用,但总体来讲还不能完全适应社会发展的需要。现行的社团立法在指导思想、法律位阶、双重管理体制、社团设立的法律制度等方面存在一些问题,对结社自由限制过于严格。为了更有效地保障宪法的结社自由权利,维护社会秩序,需要对现行的社团立法进行变革,在结社自由的保障与限制之间实现平衡。     

法条与法理的实证分析——以刑法分则为例

烛光有两个地方未曾到达：太远的地方和蜡烛下面。法律实证分析也是一样。对法律实证分析来说，象公平、正义、本质、本原这些范畴都似乎有些遥远，而法律条文本身，也很少成为法律实证分析的对象。本文认为，对法律条文其实可以进行实证分析。…….     

Patients' decisions to die: the emerging Australian jurisprudence

A series of decisions by McDougall J in Hunter and New England Area Health Service v. A (2009) 74 NSWLR 88; Martin CJ in Brightwater Care Group (Inc) v. Rossiter (2009) 40 WAR 84; Higgins CJ in Australian Capital Territory v. JT (2009) 232 FLR 322; and Kourakis J in H Ltd v. J (2010) 240 FLR 402 has built upon prior decisions in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria. The combination of authority has provided a reasonably homogeneous set of principles on the basis of which future decision-making can take place by clinicians, institutions and courts. It is apparent that, wherever possible, effect will be given to competent patients' wishes in relation to cessation of treatment, nutrition and hydration. However, scrutiny will be applied to patients' capacity in order to examine not the rationality or correctness of their decisions per se but their capacity to make them. It is probable that a rigorous approach will be taken both to whether patients' mental ill health deprives them of capacity and to whether they are provided with sufficient information to understand the consequences and processes of deprivation of nutrition, hydration and medication.     

法理学的能与不能

本文针对我国学界(特别是法学界)和社会其他各界(特别是法律界)对法理学的实用化期待以及因为此种期待的难以实现而对法理学的指责,论证了这种期待本身具有非理性.不但如此,而且这种期待对法理学研究产生了诸多的误导,举其大者为:它影响了法理学的"自然"发展;消弥了读者对法理学的兴趣;最终影响了法理学"实用性"的发挥.在此基础上,作者论证了法理学在法制建设中的能与不能,认为:法理学在法制建设中的基本功能就是精神教义功能、方法启示功能和实践应用功能.除此之外,都是法理学所不能的"广阔空间".最后,文章提出了应当区分"主观的法理学"和"客观的法理学"的观点,并通过对两者的界定及其功能的哲理说明进一步论证了法理学在法制建设中的能与不能.     

Deconstructing jurisprudence: An experiential feminist critique

Feminist legal scholars continue to raise questions concerning the nature of jurisprudence in its treatment of women. Central to this debate are issues of knowledge, truth, and power founded on the patriarchal code of justice. This article argues that the essentialism of the masculine system alone is entirely inadequate in speaking for the voice of women and/or for the feminine in consciousness. By disrupting Freudian and Lacanian constructions of female sexuality through a psycho-linguistic analysis, these insights are then applied to the works of both Carol Gilligan and Catharine MacKinnon. In doing so, it is discovered that an uncultivated feminine discourse is grounded in experience, gatherings, consciousness-raising, and interpersonal truth. Constituting an unadulterated code of feminine justice requires a return to imaginative discourse; a process whereby metaphors, symbols, and myths for and about women are re-constituted and freed from misogynous language and culture.     

Global rights and regional jurisprudence

This article asks whether a “law-as-integrity” approach to human rights adjudication provides a theoretical framework within which to make sense of authoritative regional interpretations of basic human rights for the global community. To focus analysis, I consider U.S. court interpretations of international human rights as an interpretive context. I argue that, with appropriate modification so as to include the world community as a “community of principle” for purposes of human rights adjudication, the law-as-integrity perspective permits disputes surrounding the legality of human rights to revolve around competing interpretive claims backed up by justifying legal theories, rather than as ideological battles external to a juridical philosophy of rights.     

Death investigation, the coroner and therapeutic jurisprudence

Death investigation by coroners incorporates elements of the adversarial and the inquisitorial. Coroners function differently from most other judicial officers in the way in which their staff interact with family members of the deceased and in the way in which they increasingly function as public health officials with a prophylactic orientation. Coroners, both before and at inquest, have the potential to have broad-ranging and constructive impacts but also deleterious and counter-therapeutic effects. This article analyses how coronial practice and coronial law and procedural reform have the potential to draw upon the principles of therapeutic jurisprudence,     

Paths toward reclamation: therapeutic jurisprudence and the regulation of medical practitioners

Much about what used to be termed "disciplinary" investigations and hearings is being revisited in the modern era. Therapeutic jurisprudence enables informed and sensitive awareness to potentially therapeutic and counter-therapeutic effects of both investigations and hearings conducted by medical regulatory authorities. This article analyses key aspects of authorities' processes from the perspective of notifiers/complainants and practitioners. Using developments at the Victorian Medical Practitioners Board as a base, it addresses issues of both investigative procedures and decision-making at formal and informal hearings, as well as the ramifications of re-hearings for the integrity of peer review informed regulation. It argues that where reclamation of practitioners is possible (namely where impropriety is not of the most serious order), there is much that is constructive about a focus upon enhancement of performance and competence levels, rather than the traditional preoccupation with whether registered status needs to be affected as a result of practitioner conduct.
