Narrative,Law and Emotion: Husband Killers in Early Nineteenth-Century Ireland

Scholars of emotion and the law have sought to demonstrate the significant role emotion plays in shaping the operation of courtrooms, the development of legal theory and practice, and the possibilities for justice. This paper contributes to the discussion by exploring what happens when emotion is ignored or underplayed in trial narratives, seeking to demonstrate that whose emotion is considered to be important can shed light on power dynamics, law and the cultures in which law operates. It does so through a case study of women on trial for murdering their husbands in early nineteenth-century Ireland. It argues that emotion is not simply another species of evidence that can be used in criminal processes, but itself a type of narrative – emotion is constructed and performed by actors in legal dramas and forms a competing story to others in the courtroom space.     

依法执政的法意省思

依法执政是中国作为执政党的中国共产党在新形势下执政方式的重大调整和深刻转变,是在依法治国、建设社会主义法治国家的时代背景下执政党执政理念法治化的根本体现,也是顺民心遂民愿的明智之举。依法执政理念要作为指引执政党执政实践的正确航标,本身需要从法治而非人治的视角进行明确的梳理和辩思。     

The Development of the Moon: Some Prospects for Regulation By Law

The last ten years have been filled with significant achievements in the development of science and technology in the area of world space research. Artificial satellites are now being launched regularly to study space at various distances from the earth. The dispatch of Soviet automatic stations to the moon and to Venus have become virtually ordinary phenomena. But it must be stated that both manned flights to the moon and the launching of automatic devices have not yet emerged from the stage of scientific experimentation. In order for permanent, everyday "space work" to be done in space and on the moon, research stations equipped with sets of scientific instruments and capable of housing teams of explorers and scientists from various disciplines have to be created. So complex a task cannot be resolved at the present time, but it is one of the most important problems facing world space science.     

行政拘留:被法治遗忘的角落

我国现行行政拘留制度在四个方面存在缺陷。行政拘留应当符合四大基本原则:人权保护原则;参与原则;司法审查原则和救济原则。在从价值观上实现由“形式法治主义”到“实质法治主义”转变的前提下,应当从四个方面对我国的行政拘留制度进行重构。
