公司法务官如何崛起

2004年5月,国资委印发了《国有企业法律顾问管理办法》,正式提出了公司法务官的概念。如今十年已经过去,我们可以看到,公司法务官群体已在稳步崛起,但与此同时,认同公司法务官制度并力图执行的企业,还局限于以大型国企、外资企业以及高科技企业等为主。公司法务官制度的普及,在相当部分中国企业尤其是中小企业中,仍需时日。有提看起制以企及小     

公司首席法务官的老本行与他的七张新面孔

正术业有专攻,有违自然规律的全才确实奇货可居。但是只固守法律老本行的首席法务官,在企业中更容易遭遇职业上升的天花板,这却是事实在西方公司管理中,首席法务官(GC)的地位因其重要作用而日渐显赫,也因CEO和董事会的信赖和授权而位高权重。同时,GC在公司治理中也呈现出多张面孔,担任的角色功能跨度很大,如果没有强大的定力,GC一定会因无法掌控而精神分裂。每天在不同的角色间穿插转换而又能毫无衔接障碍和矛盾磕碰,这不仅需要GC具有高超的领导艺术,强大     

公司首席法务官的软实力

正所谓"和实生物,同则不继",硬实力与软实力更多是乘数关系,公司首席法务官的硬实力再强,如果其软实力不行,那么综合实力也等于作为现代公司法人治理的三驾马车(CEO统筹公司整体运营,CFO负责公司财务和利润,GC负责公司法务和风控)之一,公司首席法务官(GC)从未像今天一样受到如此多的关注和重视。这一方面源于公司外部日趋严厉的政府监管和合规要求,另一方面源于公司内部因知识经济产业革命引发的战略调整和面对全球化经营     

首席法务官PK“控制力”

正一个慌了神的首席法务官会在公司CEO和董事会面前表现得无能无用,并从此被打入冷宫而被认为无法担当重任,因为他缺少首席法务官必备的核心能力——控制力首席法务官(General Counsel,下称GC)的控制力不是表现在正常情况下的超常发挥,而是表现在超常情况下的正常发挥,面对重大风险和突发事件,任何一位公司GC都希望能从容应对,并能信心满满地向CEO和董事会保证,一切皆在自己掌控之下。为此,GC需要不断修炼和提升自己的控制力,这种控制力与其专业度、经验值、权威性和决断力息息相关,并随着公司法务管理的边界蔓延而充满变数。

企业设首席质量官惹争议

正"最好是副总级别,还要有一票否决权",听起来,首席质量官和首席法务官走的是一个路径,只是这个突如其来的"官"真的能为企业质量风险增设一道防线,还是只是有关部门头脑发热后的昙花一现"这是我通过学习获得的‘CQO—企业首席质量官任职培训证书’。"胡威拿着不久前获得的证书自豪地对记者说,在公司里自己已成了唯一和CEO就质量问题对话的人了。今年年初,广东省政府公布《广东省人民政府关于建设质量强省的决定》,提出开展企业首席质量官制度试点,鼓励和引导企业设立首席质     

邓小平民主法制思想探索

邓小平的民主法制思想是邓小平理论的重要组成部分。它内涵丰富,博大精深,科学地回答了我国社会主义法制建设和法学研究领域中诸如社会主义国家的法的本质、民主与法制的关系、＂依法治国＂、法的功能与价值、市场经济法制建设等重大理论问题。邓小平关于社会主义民主与法制建设的论述,是邓小平法律思想的核心内容。在纪念中国共产党九十周年之际,重温邓小平民主法制思想,对我们今天的法治的建设和法学研究具有重要的指导意义。     

The Role of Culture in Legal Languages,Legal Interpretation and Legal Translation

The aim of this short essay is to highlight and concisely explore—but not address in depth—some cultural aspects related to legal languages, legal interpretation and legal translation. We would like to consider briefly the following questions: How can elements of legal language, as exemplified by proper names and euphemisms, be connected with cultural (extra-linguistic) factors influencing language units’ formation? How can judicial discourse reflect the culture of a given justice system? How can the legal interpretation affect the degree of legal culture? Are theories of legal interpretation universal or applicable to specific legal cultures? What is the impact of culture on the context of legal translation? How can the cultural background affect the decision to use terms in translation? How does cyberculture impact legal translation?

     

Legal Certainty and Correctness

What is the relation between legal certainty and correctness? This question poses one of the perpetual problems of the theory and practice of law—and for this reason: The answer turns on the main question in legal philosophy, the question of the concept and the nature of law. Thus, in an initial step, I will briefly look at the concept and the nature of law. In a second step, I will attempt to explain what the concept and the nature of law, thus understood, imply for the relation between legal certainty and correctness. Here three issues will be considered: first, the Radbruch formula as an answer to the problem of extreme injustice; second, the special case thesis, which claims that legal argumentation is a special case of general practical argumentation; and, third, the problem of the judicial development of the law.     

Gendering the Legal Complex: Women in Sri Lanka's Legal Profession

Drawing upon feminist standpoint theory and interviews with pioneering women lawyers in Sri Lanka, I argue for a focus on women as a distinct category in ‘legal complex theory’. I consider the following questions in making this claim. What were the internal structures of the legal profession that the older generations of women lawyers encountered as they entered the profession and as they took up positions of leadership? In what ways, if at all, was the ‘culture(s)’ within the profession patriarchal? In what ways, if any, did the entry and advancement of women impact these internal structures of the profession and its culture(s)? And what can we learn from these experiences in predicting the future trajectory of the legal profession? The analytical expansion that I propose reveals gender-based dynamics within the legal complex, such as gender-stereotyped perceptions about women lawyers within the profession, the ‘feminization’ of the profession, and ‘gender segmentation’ within its different spheres.     

Translating Lexical Legal Terms Between English and Arabic

Legal translation between English and Arabic is under researched. However, the growing need for it, due to immigration and asylum seeking, among other reasons, necessitates the importance of more research. The asymmetry between English and Arabic poses many difficulties for legal translators, be they linguistic-based, culture-specific or system-based. The aim of this research is to discuss ways of translating lexical items between English and Arabic. In this current discussion I will present, exemplify and analyse the common difficult areas of translating English/Arabic legal texts and suggest ways of dealing with them. These areas involve culture-specific and system-based terms, archaic terms, specialised terms and doublets and triplets. With this aim in mind, the paper answers the following research questions:

1. 1.
   What are the common difficulties of translating legal texts between English and Arabic?
    
2. 2.
   What are the common lexical difficulties between English and Arabic legal texts?
    
3. 3.
   What are the procedures of translating lexical legal terms between English and Arabic?
    

The paper concludes that translating the above-mentioned lexical terms requires expertise, professional training, robust knowledge of the linguistic and legal systems of languages, as well as up-to-date electronic dictionaries and well-defined parallel corpora.

     

The Staff Legal Adviser

The staff legal adviser [iuriskonsul't] is the individual who stands watch over the observance of socialist legality at the enterprise, in the institution, and at the executive committee of the local soviet. … He is constantly consulted on practical questions of the law. He is the defender of the interests of the enterprise or agency before courts and in arbitration proceedings. … But how does the legal adviser carry out the tasks he faces? The editors of our journal decided to turn to two heads of legal departments — one at an enterprise and one in a ministry — with the request to reply to a number of questions. We publish their replies below.     

推理与解释：寓于其中的法律思维

法律解释与法律推理是两种相对独立的法律方法,它们对法治建设有着不同的意义。法律解释的功能是要充分展示法律文本的各种可能意义,而法律推理则强调结论的必然得出。由于二者都强调根据法律进行解释或推理,因而拥有大体相似的思维走向,但作为不同的方法却有着许多细微的区分。正是这些既相互联系又有区别的方法(如法律发现、法律解释、法律论证、价值衡量、法律推理等)构成了法律方法论体系。当我们对这些法律方法有了深入系统的了解后,方法论向本体论的转向就水到渠成了。

A Manner of Speaking: Declaration,Critique and the Trope of Interrogation

In this paper I will argue for the ethical and political virtue of a form of critique associated with the work of Michel Foucault. Foucault’s tryptich of essays on critique—namely ‘What is Critique?’ ‘What is Revolution?’ and ‘What is Enlightenment?’—develop a formulation of critique understood as an attitude or disposition, a kind of relation that one bears to oneself and to the actuality of the present. I suggest that this critical attitude goes hand in hand with a mode of intellectual practice realized rhetorically in the form of the interrogative and methodologically in ‘problematology’. But, in addition to highlighting the habitus of critique suggested by Foucault, I also want to consider the entanglement of this critical enterprise in the conditions of the present that it attempts to diagnose. Specifically, I ask, in what way is a critical enterprise in the interrogative mood itself imbricated in the trope of interrogation that fills so much of our current political and public landscape?     

On Collective Actions. Some Remarks on the Theory of Legal Actions

In this paper the author deals with collegial judicial decisions as a form of human action. The scope is, however, limited to three questions: (1) What is the structure and the status of the general theory of action; (2) Is this theory applicable to such performative acts as judicial decisions; and finally, (3) Is it possible to speak about action in connection with collective agents such as collegial courts? The author defends the thesis that general theory of action as such is applicable to collective action, too, because the difficulty is not in the structure of that theory, or in its “individual character,” but specifically in the notion of “collective will.” This kind of “will” is epistemologically always a result of a political procedure, and speaking about the “collective will” presupposes the analysis of these procedures, because in practice they and only they formulate “collective motives,”“collective beliefs” and the like.
