我国遗嘱形式要件的认定及完善——中日比较法的视野

对于我国遗嘱形式的完善,学界在能否承认共同遗嘱问题上观点对立,还有学者提出在现行《继承法》规定的五种形式以外再增加秘密遗嘱形式。但通过对中日两国遗嘱实务进行实证分析可以看出,应当明文否定共同遗嘱等自设形式,同时秘密遗嘱不符合我国国情,而在规定了秘密遗嘱的日本,该形式已经受到学者废除的呼吁,因其实质是自书遗嘱。因此,在对遗嘱形式要件予以完善时,应当维持现行的五种形式,但需细化五种遗嘱形式的要件,以便于司法确认立遗嘱人的真意,实现立遗嘱人的终意。     

论《京都议定书》对国际政治和国际经济的潜在影响

《京都议定书》是国际社会在防止全球气候变暖的国际合作方面取得的一份具有里程碑意义的国际法文件。《京都议定书》对国际政治将产生如下影响:发展中国家,尤其是中国、印度等发展中大国承受着越来越大的减排压力;推动欧盟一体化的进程,并进一步提升欧盟的国际政治地位;发展中国家阵营内部呈现出进一步分化的趋势。《京都议定书》对国际经济的影响主要表现在:对各国总体的经济福利产生影响;《京都议定书》产生的“碳泄漏”问题可能使得缔约国在竞争力和产业结构调整等方面发生一系列变化;对国际资本流动产生影响;《京都议定书》将推动能源技术的进步,尤其是推动低碳技术和高能效技术的创新与扩散。     

Sins of the Flesh? Obscenity Law in the Era of Virtual Reality

In the near future, pornography will be interactive, and people will be able to act out their fantasies in virtual reality. What may be unsettling is that some of these fantasies will be quite deviant, including rape, pedophilia and bestiality. The question is how our culture will respond to new technologies used to fulfill these deviant fantasies. This article examines the coming changes in the sex industry and the possible legal challenges that will arise.     

电子商务与冲突法的变革

电子商务的发展给冲突法带来了冲击和挑战 ,文章通过对美国、欧盟、海牙国际私法会议和OECD有关立法文件的分析 ,指出 :在管辖权上 ,协议管辖和其他一些新的管辖权标准将得以确立 ,管辖权本位主义再度扩张。在连结点上 ,主观性连结点将发挥重要的作用 ,对其限制逐渐减少 ;连结点弹性化倾向将更加明显 ;传统属地性、属人性连结点将继续适用 ,但连结点的含义呈多样化趋势。在冲突规范方面 ,电子商务的冲突法立法将在规则趋向、价值取向和立法基础上发生一些变革。在准据法上 ,电子商务实体法的趋同化和统一化趋势明显 ,电子商务的自治规则将在规范电子商务方面发挥重要作用 ,公法适用的可能性增加。     

Some Comments on Toleration

My comments will focus basically on Leader's paper. First, I will make some semantic remarks about the uses of the word "toleration"; second, I will offer some criticisms of Leader's paper; and, finally, I will put forward the outline of a modest proposal.     

Between Human Rights and Sovereignty*—An Examination of EU–China Political Relations

The fifth part will draw some tentative conclusion.     

论意思自治的根基

意思自治构成现代合同效力的正当性基础,意思自治的本身值得做出历史和支撑理论的分析.在理论上,意思自治的兴起与教会的盟约思想相关,并经教会法而发展.在现代,意思自治的合理性有四个方面的理论支撑,分别是:自由主义;理性人,即人是理性动物,会趋利避害地处理自己事务;奉行自由经济政策导致西欧发展的理论与实证;从心理学证明意思自治的可能.奠定合同法自由性格的意思自治在此基础上获得了证立.     

遗嘱解释的三个问题

遗嘱解释以探求遗嘱人内心的主观意思为目的 ,遗嘱生效的形式要求与遗嘱解释活动相区分 ,从而一方面满足了遗嘱是要式法律行为的要求 ,另一方面也达到了遗嘱解释的目的。遗嘱解释的方法包括文义解释、整体解释、目的解释、历史解释、习惯解释、诚信解释等。补充遗嘱漏洞的常见方法是类推补充与法律推定补充。     

Parker's Modern Wills Precedents, 5th edn * By Michael Waterworth MA (Cantab)

Trusts set up by will, will trusts, are governed by similarconsiderations to those affecting inter vivos trusts. Frequentlyin trust textbooks the authors do not tell us that will trustshave some significant difference from inter vivos trusts. Thelatter may be set up quite informally by a mere declarationof intention and the transfer of the trust property to the trustees.But will trusts can only come about if the law relating to makinga valid will has been complied with. This tends to get overlookedunder the shadow of possible inheritance tax     

意思自治原则的成长与法治社会

意思自治原则的内核是主体的平等自由,理性主义和权利本位观、商品经济孕育了意思自治原则的精神。该原则的成长与法治社会有着深刻的内在关税。在现代法治社会中,意思自治原则的内涵有了新的发展,保障人权,实现经济民主成为其应有的以向。意思自治原则与我国社会主义市场经济体制的契合,必将加快我国的法治化进程。     

论遗嘱受益回避简

遗嘱受益回避，即因特定角色之承担从而能对他人遗嘱的成立或生效产生重要影响的入，不得从该他人遗嘱中受益。遗嘱受益回避的适用对象，包括遗嘱订立时遗嘱人的监护人、医疗人员和参与遗嘱订立的见证人、公证人及起草人，以及前列人员的配偶、直系血亲和兄弟姐妹。遗嘱受益回避的除外情形为：前述人员与遗嘱人之间有配偶、直系血亲或兄弟姐妹关系；即使某见证人或公证人没有参与，遗嘱也能有效成立；遗嘱起草人被列为受益人时，遗嘱人已征询无利害关系律师的独立意见。     

数智化社会的法律调控

数智化逻辑是人机互融、虚实同构、算法主导。数智化社会关系的架构化和建模化,彻底改变我们认识、把握和干预世界的方式。数智化后设机制统御一切行为及关系,法律与法学作业理念将由"如何修复和恢复社会"转向"如何规训和塑造社会"。法律对社会的调控应由"裁断行为后果"前移为"塑造行为逻辑",由事后处置转向参与建设社会关系"架构",由赋权与救济转向责任与义务的加载与规制。法律算法化自动运行将成为常态,法律人工操作将成为非常态。数智化逻辑摧毁权利本位和司法中心主义法律法学观,权利主义法学势必为规制主义法学所取代。     

The Re-integration Process from the Perspective of Prisoners: Opinions, Percieved Value and Participation

In this article the presence of the rehabilitation goal in the policy of the prison system in the Netherlands will be discussed first. Particular attention will be paid to the question as to why the rehabilitation goal, in spite of the doubtfull status of its impact, still plays a role in the increasing instrumentalist policy of the Dutch criminal justice system. In addition, some limitations of a one-sided 'nothing works' approach of rehabilitation will be discussed. Next, empirical research is examined for what it teaches about the functioning of correctional programmes within the prison system. Special attention will be paid to the attitudes of inmates toward rehabilitation. It will be shown that in spite of a considerable body of research on institutional adaptation, little is known about the dynamics between inmates' attitudes and personal, situational and organisational background variables. In addition, the results of a survey, conducted on the nature and sources of inmates' attitudes towards rehabilitation, will be presented. Finally, this article will offer reflections on the benefits of a process-evaluative approach of correctional interventions.     

生命预嘱制度建构初探简

生命预嘱（Living Will）是人们事先也就是在健康或意识清楚时签署的,说明在不可治愈的伤病末期或临终时要或不要哪种医疗护理的指示文件。生命预嘱尊重患者的医疗自主权,强调了医护人员和患者及家属之间在医疗工作中的合作关系,是医学领域中必要的创新。事实上,由于种种原因,在中国临终放弃治疗已经相当普遍,但对临终患者是否可以预立生命预嘱,告诉医护人员他是否想要手术,插管进食或使用呼吸机来维持生命,我国法律尚无此类规定。由于缺少相关法律制度对医师的行为进行有效的保护和约束,临床实践中医师对临终患者的处理做出决策相当困难。就死亡过程而言,社会提出了明确要求,法律就应当认真对待。本文通过介绍国内外的生命预嘱立法及其实践情况,了解实践中生命预嘱在我国的存在空间,探讨我国未来生命预嘱的立法思路,为我国未来生命预嘱的主要制度的构建略尽绵薄之力。     

Suicide far from home: the concept of transjurisdictional suicide

A review of a series of eleven persons who committed suicide in a city long distances from home is presented, and the concept of transjurisdictional suicide is introduced. Those eleven cases suggest a high likelihood that the victim will be found in a hotel or motel bed by a hotel/motel employee within a day of check-in; the victim will be a white male who drove to the city and who lived in a hometown closely associated with an urban center which is within a day's drive and on an interstate route connecting the hometown to the city selected; the victim will be older than twenty-one years, married or never married but not divorced or widowed, and will not have been born in the state where death occurred; a suicide message will be found, and a specific reason for selecting a given city will not be apparent.     

Medicare program; hospice wage index for fiscal year 2012. Final rule

This final rule will set forth the hospice wage index for fiscal year (FY) 2012 and continue the phase-out of the wage index budget neutrality adjustment factor (BNAF), with an additional 15 percent BNAF reduction, for a total BNAF reduction in FY 2012 of 40 percent. The BNAF phase-out will continue with successive 15 percent reductions from FY 2013 through FY 2016. This final rule will change the hospice aggregate cap calculation methodology. This final rule will also revise the hospice requirement for a face-to-face encounter for recertification of a patient's terminal illness. Finally, this final rule will begin implementation of a hospice quality reporting program.     

Genetic testing,genetic medicine,and managed care

Issues of cost, access, and quality of care will affect the availability and nature of genetic testing, genetic counseling, and genetic therapies. This Article will explore such issues as professional education, coverage of genetic services, privacy and confidentiality, and liability. It will conclude with a series of recommendations for the practice of genetic medicine in the age of managed care.     

对生前预嘱相关问题的探讨

生前预嘱是指人在意识清楚时签署一份文书来事先表达出自己在生命末期的医疗意愿。本文针对生前预嘱的理解和适用中存在的相关问题作出探讨。本文以尊严死在我国的提出以及生前预嘱在我国的推广现状为基础,从法律的视角分析了生前预嘱的合法性和必要要件,并阐明了在目前的法律框架下生前预嘱还不是生效的法律文件,生前预嘱的落实还需要亲属的同意。本文借鉴其他国家和地区对生前预嘱的立法状况并结合我国的实际,提出了对于放弃治疗和尊严死的理解,以及针对医疗实践中放弃治疗的困惑提出了对放弃治疗应该严格遵循的原则。     

Medicare and Medicaid programs; conditions of participation: immunization standards for hospitals,long-term care facilities,and home health agencies. Final rule with comment period

The provisions of this final rule will remove the Federal barrier related to the requirement for a physician to order influenza and pneumococcal immunizations in Medicare and Medicaid participating hospitals, long-term care facilities, and home health agencies. This final rule will affect vaccine-preventable diseases and will help improve adult vaccination coverage rates. It will facilitate the delivery of appropriate vaccinations in a timely manner, increase the levels of vaccination coverage, and decrease the morbidity and mortality rate of influenza and pneumococcal diseases.     

The Three Faces of Defeasibility in the Law

Abstract. In this paper we will analyse the issue of defeasibility in the law, taking into account research carried out in philosophy, artificial intelligence and legal theory. We will adopt a very general idea of legal defeasibility, in which we will include all different ways in which certain legal conclusions may need to be abandoned, though no mistake was made in deriving them. We will argue that defeasibility in the law involves three different aspects, which we will call inference‐based defeasibility, process‐based defeasibility, and theory‐based defeasibility. Only the integration of these three perspectives allows us to provide a satisfactory account of the role of defeasibility in legal reasoning.
