Criminal law and HIV/AIDS: strategic considerations

Richard Elliott's paper on criminal law and HIV/AIDS, an edited and updated version of his presentation at "Putting Third First," sets out five guiding principles for criminal law policy and HIV/AIDS; briefly outlines the rationales for criminalization; discusses three strategic legal questions regarding the criminalization of HIV transmission/exposure; and offers a number of recommendations for consideration of those needing to articulate a well-considered perspective on the ethical, legal, human rights, and public health dimensions of the criminalization of HIV transmission/exposure.     

法学教育、司法考试与法律职业新论

实行统一的国家司法考试,是我国司法体制改革的一项创新举措,作为一项新的资格考试制度,既有利于提高法律职业的专业化水平,增强了取得法律职业从业资格的严肃性,也极大地推动了法学教育的改革,直接影响着大学法学教育和法律人才的培养。正确处理法学教育与司法考试、法律职业的关系,真正实现这三者之间的良性互动,这是我们法学教育界亟待解决的迫切问题。     

A new definition of privacy for the law

The paper begins with a defence of a new definition of privacy as the absence of undocumented personal knowledge. In the middle section, I criticise alternative accounts of privacy. Finally, I show how my definition can be worked into contemporary American Law.     

Data protection by design and technology neutral law

This article argues that to achieve a technology neutral law, technology specific law is sometimes required. To explain this we discriminate between three objectives, often implied in the literature on technological neutrality of law. The first we call the compensation objective, which refers to the need to have technology specific law in place whenever specific technological designs threated the substance of human rights. The second we call the innovation objective, referring to the need to prevent legal rules from privileging or discriminating specific technological designs in ways that would stifle innovation. The third we call the sustainability objective, which refers to the need to enact legislation at the right level of abstraction, to prevent the law from becoming out of date all too soon. The argument that technology neutral law requires compensation in the form of technology specific law is built on a relational conception of technology, and we explain that though technology in itself is neither good nor bad, it is never neutral. We illustrate the relevance of the three objectives with a discussion of the EU cookie Directive of 2009. Finally we explain the salience of the legal obligation of Data Protection by Design in the proposed General Data Protection Regulation and test this against the compensation, innovation and sustainability objectives.

新刑事诉讼法回顾与定位

刑事诉讼法修订距今已有一段时间,对刑事诉讼法修改的大背景进行深刻的剖析,有利于刑事诉讼法的顺利实施.在经济背景、政治背景、国际背景和反腐败的特殊国情中产生的新刑事诉讼法,虽然具有一定的超前性,但科学的立法总是超前的立法;虽然存在不完善之处,但毕竟朝着民主化、科学化前进了一大步.     

Public health law in the new century

Public health law is a broad and sometimes nebulous field which has undergone extensive reform and rethinking over the past decade. This article provides a survey of current issues in public health law, highlighting these reforms and the potential for public health legislation to deal with upcoming threats, notably bioterrorism. While recognising the anxieties bioterrorism brings, public health responses must be grounded in a coherent philosophy of risk management. Its administrators must also be aware that large-scale threats to public health are not unprecedented and that past experience can provide an important guide for future strategies.
