Statistical Modeling of the Case Information From the Ohio Attorney General's Sexual Assault Kit Testing Initiative

The Ohio Attorney General's Sexual Assault Kit (SAK) Testing Initiative has resulted in nearly 14,000 kits being processed since the initiation of the project in 2012. A logistic regression model was fit to the data from 2500 SAKs in order to determine the probability of obtaining at least one Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) eligible DNA profile based on a number of predictor variables. The probability of obtaining at least one CODIS eligible DNA profile from an SAK varied as a function of (i) days to kit collection following a sexual assault; (ii) years to kit submission to the laboratory for testing following kit collection; (iii) the age of the victim; and (iv) the occurrence of victim‐reported consensual sex around the time of the assault and/or kit collection. These findings demonstrate the utility of the statistical modeling of data obtained from the “forklift” testing approach of sexual assault kits.

芬兰群体性纠纷解决机制介评

芬兰的群体诉讼可以分为两种类型:申请禁令的群体诉讼以及请求赔偿的群体诉讼。在请求赔偿的群体诉讼中,芬兰消费者巡视员拥有代表特定消费者群体采取法律行为的专属权利,但法院的生效判决对所有的"选择加入"的群体成员均发生效力。整体来看,这种请求赔偿的群体诉讼受到很大的限制。首先,其适用范围仅限于大众消费领域的纠纷;其次,诉权只给了消费者巡视官。这种严格受限的群体诉讼在实践中很难应对频发的大规模纠纷,这也迫使芬兰不得不在诉讼外谋求解决之道。     

台湾地区智慧财产法院制度及运作状况述评——兼评与大陆法院试行的“三审合一”模式的区别

考虑到知识产权案件的重要性和复杂性，成立专门的知识产权法院对知识产权纠纷进行集中审理是近年来的发展趋势之一。台湾地区于2008年7月1日正式设立智慧财产法院并开始运作，审理涉及智慧财产权利诉讼相关的民事、行政及刑事诉讼案件。其引入的技术审查官、秘密保持命令等新制度对大陆地区试行的知识产权“三审合一”模式具有一定借鉴意义。     

Working to Avoid Collateral Emotional Harm to Clients: Cases and Recommendations for the Personal Injury Attorney

Attorneys working in the area of personal injury face complex cases in addition to many potential ethical and practice hazards. They are trained, educated, and have experience in handling and discharging their responsibilities in such cases to the best advantage of their clients, whether plaintiff or defense, while maintaining a professional integrity and appropriate ethical stance. Ideally, personal injury attorneys will practice from a position of virtue, serving their clients in their efforts to recover and regain their quality of life. Nevertheless, factors such as financial and work pressures can intervene, leading to inappropriate conduct that may harm their clients and risk professional alienation and malpractice. In the present article, seven case examples are provided that illustrate how personal injury attorneys working for plaintiffs can act in unethical and harmful ways, ultimately endangering their practice. The article is oriented to attorneys at all phases of their careers and includes recommendations for avoiding the types of harm and unethical practice that have been described. Also, the article presents strategies that psychologists treating these patients can take to remedy further emotional damage to patients.

检察督促之建构

当前．公共利益遭受严重损害的现状亟待创设对行政违法进行检察监督的新方式。检察督促是近年来民事行政检察司法实践中探索的一种非诉讼性法律监督方式。检察督促拓宽了法律监督领域，具有较强的应用价值，有利于监督行政机关依法行政。本文结合检察工作实践，对检察督促的适用范围和程序进行了初步探讨。     

Comments on the Comments

Abstract. The paper replies to Bix and Soper ( Bix 2007 ; Soper 2007 ). Bix's paper raises methodological questions, especially whether a form‐theorist merely needs to reflect on form from the arm‐chair so to speak. A variety of methods is called for, including conceptual analysis, study of usage, “education in the obvious,” general reflection on the nature of specific functional legal units, empirical research on their operation and effects, and still more. Further methodological remarks are made in response to Soper's paper. Soper suggests the possibility of substituting “form v. substance” of a unit as the central contrast here rather than form v. complementary material or other components of a unit. Various reasons are given here for not doing this. Among other things, it is also argued here that form does not, contrary to Soper's suggestion, always follow substance.
