论法律社会学的知识传统——以关键人物为线索

在"事实/价值"分离的前提下,法律社会学坚持的"事实—解释"立场使其难以进入思想史大传统之列,还常常招致所谓不辨善恶的责难。但是,从发展历程来看,法律社会学不仅在"发现社会"的阶段对社会风俗习惯、典章制度的重视,为社会进入思想研究传统的视野起到了关键性的作用,同时,在以经济理性化、宗教世俗化方式重新解释社会的过程中实际上也完成了"重构社会"的工作,同时甚至参与了"反思社会"这一未竟的现代性事业。法律社会学在中国的发展历程也进一步加深了这种印象。     

法律文化的更新与近代中国传统法律的现代化

西方现代法律文化的冲击和中国社会精英阶层所具有的现代性观念的变迁,是20世纪初中国传统法律走向现代化的最初动因,但社会精英阶层观念的变迁只是为中国传统法律现代化提供了一种可变的契机,其发展的路向决定于中国传统法律文化现代化转换的程度,而近代社会的社会历史环境并不能为传统法律现代化的转换提供良性的条件,这也决定了中国近代社会传统法律现代化的最终命运。     

儒家法律传统与中华法系

儒家法律传统是中国古代社会农耕生产方式、宗法家庭组织、君主专制政体三合一基本特征的历史产物。先秦儒家法律传统以“礼治”、“德治”、“人治”等思想为其基本内容。西汉以后又不断充实完善，成为支配古代法律实践的正统价值观。

Legal Aid in the Eye of a Storm: Rationing, Contracting, and a New Institutionalism

This article discusses possible rationales underlying a legal aid system through an articulation of theories of distribution in the legal services market, considers the idea of prioritization and planning or, in the political vernacular, rationing of public funding, and addresses the impact of economic and social theories of the professions on legal aid structures. Finally, the emerging concepts of 'new-institutionalism' and 'new public management' are introduced to indicate the organizational and sociological complexity of reforming the legal services market. Each of these threads illustrate competing values and institutional influence on publicly funded legal services. Bureaucratic rules mix with professional and economic incentives to articulate entitlement to public money in a predominantly private forum. Drawing on research in the field of rationing health care, sociological and economic work on legal services, and organizational theories, it will be demonstrated that conceptual, policy, and research tools need to play closer attention to this competition of values.     

Just Interpretation: The Status of Legal Reasoning in the Continental Legal Tradition

The following text discusses an issueof legal interpretation status in continentalsystem of law. Exploring a metaphor of theinterpretation as a translation, it emphasizesits creative aspect, which has been deniedoften in modern times. Reminding the Romanorigins of contemporary continental legalsystems, it uses historical arguments to accentthe intrinsically inventive character of legalinterpretation.     

The New Legal Realism and The Realist View of Law

New legal realism (NLR) furthers the legal realist legacy by focusing attention on both the pertinent social science and the craft that typifies legal discourse and legal institutions. NLR's globalized ambitions also highlight the potential of a nonstatist view of law. The realist view of law raises three challenges facing NLR: identifying the “lingua franca” of law as an academic discipline within which NLR insights on translation and synthesis should be situated; conceptualizing NLR's focus on bottom‐up investigation, so that it does not defy the rule of law; and recognizing the normative underpinning for NLR's reformist impulse.     

社会法学派的法律发现观及其启示

社会法学派的法律发现观主要从目的、利益与法律的"自由"发现、返回司法"实际"的法律发现、司法的实用性与规则的虚无性三个角度来诠释的。与其我们掩耳盗铃式"发现法律",不如坦白承认法官造法之于司法公正的意义。"发现"是"创造"的源泉,而"创造"是"发现"的延伸。     

夹缝中的法律移植与传统创造——《大清著作权律》述评

作为中国第一部著作权法,《大清著作权律》更多是外力催化而非自然生长的结果,因而深深烙上了那个动荡时代的印迹,其作为政治工具的诸多缺陷也非常明显。尽管如此,它还是打开了一扇窗口,使中国人开始慢慢了解和接受著作权观念,并成为中国著作权法发展的规范源流。《大清著作权律》的制定和实施过程既是移植法律的过程,也是创造传统的过程。     

论传统社会户籍身份法律制度

户籍制度是中国传统社会极具特色之处。中国在先秦时代就形成了户籍制度。户籍是封建国家据以征调赋税、劳役、兵役以及区分人户职业和等级的重要凭证,也由此形成了独具特色的中国户籍身份制。     

The New Insolvency Law and Governance of Corporate Legal Person

Start of the insolvency proceedings influences the two basic problems of corporate governance: restriction about the “soft budget” of corporation and “information asymmetry” between the interior and exterior person. In fact, the insolvency law is a mechanism of the potential exterior supervision. In the insolvency proceedings, most of the information is open to the creditor and to the superintendent, who is liable for protecting the interest of the creditor. The key problems of corporate governance are transparency and information disclosure. The insolvency law provides the power of supervision to the creditor when corporation insolvency. Of importance is that power is conducted by collectivity and supported by judicatory and professional organization. In June 2004, the finance committee submitted the new draft of the insolvency law to the standing committee of the national people’s congress. There are many articles about corporate governance. These articles are generally divided into two kinds, one is restriction on conduct of the supervisors in the period of the insolvency proceedings, and the other is examination of the conduct before the start of the insolvency proceedings.

Institutionalism Old and New*

Abstract
The author deals with the legal theoretical approach that has been labelled "legal institutionalism." An old and a new version of this approach are singled out: The old one is identified with the theory defended by the Italian public lawyer Santi Romano in the first half of this century; the second one is seen in the recent work by Ota Weinberger and Neil MacCormick. After a short presentation of Romano's work, his ideas and the development proposed by MacCormick and Weinberger are compared. Similarities and differences between the two versions of institutional theory are worked out. A coda hints at an ambiguity in the definition of institution proposed by the "new" institutionalism.

New Institutionalism and Naturalism in Socio‐Legal Analysis: Institutionalist Approaches to Regulatory Decision Making

Through drawing on the work particularly of sociological and organizational theorists socio-legal work has added considerably to an understanding of the uses of law and discretion, and shown the contingency of the operation of law on the economic, political and organizational context. Some important questions still remain unanswered, however. In particular, if in decision making law is not determinative, but rather decisions are shaped by other bureaucratic or organizational norms, political and economic pressures and an individual's own world views and interests, what role does law play? Further, what impact does the decision process, in which different norms or considerations all bear, have on law? In starting to answer these questions the article examines the models of decision processes and decision behavior which underly the different new institutionalist analyses, and suggests that whilst they provide some insights, they have their own limits.
