应对涉外专利侵权诉讼的和解策略

问:在中国加入世贸组织之后,越来越多的外国企业为了阻止中国企业占领其市场,拿起了"知识产权"这个大棒,矛头直指中国。在面临一轮又一轮的知识产权侵权诉讼时,中国企业该如何应对?采取何种方式才能将诉讼损失降到最低?     

WTO争议解决机制的上诉审查程序

我国加入WTO之后，对WTO的研究需要进一步加强，特别是对它的法律性的研究。WTO法律性的增加，在很大程度上是由它的争议解决机制来实现的，在这一体制中，上诉机构使DSB的体制更完备，更具有公正解决争议的功能。尽管Wm体系内的争议绝大部分将通过双边的方法来解决，但完备的DSB将极大地促进通过双边或是国内的方法解决争议，它的影响力也是巨大的。另外，它对WTO条约体系的阐释也将是一个重要的基本功能。

由意志论到契约论--论当代中国法治建设的观念基石

统治阶级意志论不是马克思主义法学关于法的本质的基本判断。统治阶级意志论作为关于法的认识的基本观念不适合当代中国国情,且对当代中国社会主义法治国家建设具有严重阻碍作用。法本质的两段论因缺乏逻辑统一性而不适合作为对法的基本认识。历史法学、实证分析法学、社会学法学等法学观念也因各自的理论缺憾而不适合作为当代中国法治建设的基本观念。能够作为当代中国法治建设的观念基石的只有契约论。     

农村集体财产纠纷解决模式之检讨

农村集体财产纠纷解决模式主要包括诉讼、仲裁、行政处理、调解、和解、信访等方式,这些解决模式于实务中各有利弊,纠纷当事人往往从自己利益角度出发进行选择。然而,为了切实地保护农村集体及其成员的利益,农村集体财产所有权和使用权权属纠纷由行政机关解决不妥,应由法院作为民事纠纷直接受理;土地征收标准纠纷不应以行政方式解决且产生终决性效力,应界定为民事纠纷,赋予法院享有此类纠纷的最终决定权;集体财产收益分配纠纷应明确引发纠纷的集体财产分配方案属于一种特殊法律行为类型,法院应受理此类纠纷。同时,现行农村承包纠纷仲裁存在的弊端甚多,应将其纳入《仲裁法》的仲裁范围。     

Criminality Among Rural Stimulant Users in the United States

Despite the increase in media attention on "meth cooking" in rural areas of the United States, little is known about rural stimulant use, particularly the criminality associated with stimulant use. Data were collected from community stimulant users in rural Ohio, Arkansas, and Kentucky (N=709). Findings from three logistic regression models indicate that younger stimulant users (x =32.55, SD = 10.35), those with more convictions, and those who used crack frequently were significantly more likely to have been arrested for committing a substance-related crime, a property crime, or another crime in the 6-months before entering the study. Implications include the need for longitudinal studies to further understand rural stimulant use as well as increasing community and corrections-based drug abuse prevention and treatment interventions for stimulant users who live in rural areas.     

中国近代水权纠纷解决的启示

水权制度的变迁必须考虑社会发展提供的可能,不能一味地追求制度的先进性,忽视其与民族法律文化的衔接;民间水权习惯在新时期仍有发挥作用的空间,不能轻易抛弃;水权纠纷的解决既要考虑历史实际,又要考虑现实状况;要杜绝水权管理腐败,就必须加强民间水利组织的作用。     

行政公益诉讼诉前程序与行政争议实质化解决

行政公益诉讼所解决问题属于行政争议的范畴,其与一般的行政争议只是在争议主体、争议的问题以及争议的解决程序上有所区别,但究其本质,其是对行政权力行使进行有效监督的重要途径,在一定程度上弥补了对于行政机关不作为行为的监督不足的情况。从行政公益诉讼的“双阶构造”理论出发,针对当前实践中存在的诉前程序实施领域模糊、案件处理困境以及监督机制缺位的问题,基于检察视野,对行政公益诉讼诉前程序扩大提请主体和提请受案范围、构建诉前程序分流模式以及落实诉前程序的后续监督机制提出相关的完善建议。此外,行政权的行使有其独立性,因此通过检察权对行政权进行监督时,公益诉讼具有与其他行政诉讼不同的诉讼构造,但监督的目的在于公益的保护和实现,因此除了一般的裁判解决外,通过诉前的督促程序,促使行政主体依法履职尽责,是公益诉讼制度发挥其应有价值的实现途径之一。     

农村多元化纠纷解决机制中的司法救济

现代司法作为西方法治的舶来品对中国固有的司法传统带来了一定的冲击。在依法治国的今天,现代司法与中国传统的接触更多地表现在当下的农村社会。设置在乡镇中的人民法庭代表着司法权在基层社会中的渗透,作为一种权利救济途径的司法救济将民众与人民法庭联系到一起,将传统的纠纷解决模式与现代司法联系到一起。在这个传统与现代相互交错的时代,我们应当关注于司法救济如何落实抑或人民法庭如何在基层扎根。     

The Prevalence of Mental Illness Among Inmates in a Rural State

A limited number of recent empirical studies suggest that inmates suffer from high rates of serious mental illness. Different explanations are offered depending on the type of institution: jail or prison. The literature is based largely on urban samples and does not offer comparisons of rates across types of institution within a single study. The present study examined a random sample of 213 jail and prison inmates in a rural state using the Diagnostic Interview Schedule (III-R). Among jail inmates there was little evidence of high rates of serious mental illness, suggesting the criminalization of mental illness may not be as evident in rural settings as urban areas. Among prison inmates, however, high rates of mental disorders were found, supporting previous findings in urban and rural jurisdictions. Implications of the findings are discussed in the context of a consolidated correctional system.     

近代中国城市江湖社会纠纷解决模式

近代中国城市江湖社会解纷模式的特征是：在主体方面形成了以“异乡人的共同体”属性的“帮”为基本力量的多元化局面；在手段与途径方面形成了一系列在暴力解纷倾向中寻求和平的协商与参与机制；在规则依据方面形成了以“业”为核心的“习惯”、“帮规”与国家法相互渗透、相互磨合的“交织的法网”格局。其可以概括为“帮权自治型”解纷模式，以“帮”的权力与权威的具体运作为“共同体的自治”的内在机理。在注重“强化国家对社会的控制”的民族国家构建模式下，江湖社会解纷模式蕴涵的本土化的自治能力和自治经验极易被忽视。     

论现代反垄断法实施中的协商和解趋势--兼论行政垄断的规制方式

在国际、国内经济形势不断变化的情况下,美国、日本、欧共体、台湾等国家或地区的反垄断机构倾向于以协商和解方式解决自己与企业之间的竞争纠纷.其主要原因有两个方面一是反垄断法本身的缺陷与适用上的技术困难;二是经济全球化的影响.以协商和解方式规制行政垄断,既符合现代反垄断法实施中出现的协商和解趋势,也与本土法律文化相耦合.     

罪刑相适应原则在解释论中的贯彻

罪刑相适应不仅是立法原则,还是解释论应当遵循的重要原则,对构成要件的解释具有重要的指导作用。坚持严格区分法条竞合与想象竞合犯,固守"本法另有规定的,依照规定"表明只能适用特别法的先前理解,总是指责立法存在缺陷,必然导致罪刑不均衡的刑法条文比比皆是的现象。我们应当果断摒弃先前错误的理解与做法,在解释论中最大限度地贯彻罪刑相适应原则,充分运用竞合论原理"从一重处断",以实现刑法的公平正义。     

我国侦查启动程序探悉与完善

我国侦查启动模式具有其相应的功能价值,但其价值取向及因此而形成的制度构建未能完成侦查启动程序的设置目标,甚而有所悖离。通过对国外主要侦查启动模式的比较分析,对我国侦查启动程序进行宏观思考及提出相应的制度完善构想。

Adapting to Changing Legal Frameworks: Mozambican Refugees in South Africa

This paper argues that legal frameworks to manage immigrationand refugee rights need to be understood from below, namely,how they are interpreted and used locally by the immigrantsaffected and by the host communities, in their specific historicalcontext. Using the case of Mozambican refugees in South Africa(1985–2006), the paper outlines why many of the policiestargeted at or affecting this group of immigrants have had counterproductiveeffects (from the perspective of policy makers) because of thedisjuncture between the goals and assumptions of the legal frameworkand the reality experienced and desired by the refugees. Thesituation of Mozambican refugees in South Africa over the pasttwenty years has been shaped by a radically changing legal context.These changes are charted and matched with how Mozambican refugees,especially those settled in the rural border areas, have adaptedto, made use of and subverted the various legal constraintsand opportunities provided by the South African state and itslocal representatives.     

民事诉讼程序之于破产案件适用

破产程序中存在着大量的纠纷,这既是法院行使审判权参与破产程序的基础,也是正确理解我国破产法关于适用民事诉讼法审理破产案件的规定的前提。基于破产案件的特殊性,对于性质不同的纠纷应当适用不同的审理模式:实体权利纠纷,原则上应适用通行的民事诉讼审理模式,而破产程序性争议以及围绕破产方案发生的争议,则应采用职权主义模式进行审理。只有这样才能在保证破产程序运行正当性的同时满足其迅捷性和公益性的需求。     

试论新型农地关系的法律构建

农地关系是与农村繁荣,农业稳定和农民利益息息相关的土地法律关系,市场经济的不断发展呼唤农地关系的变革和农地制度的创断。而现行农地关系存在着主体和权能方面的缺陷,影响了科学的农地权利体系的构建;而构建新型农地关系即是要强化农地所有权人,农地使用权人等农地权利人与农地的私法联系,期待为农地权利人提供较为充分的法律保护。本文对有关农地关系的法律规范进行了一些新的思考。     

Protection Against Pursuit: A Conceptual and Empirical Comparison of Cyberstalking and Stalking Victimization Among a National Sample

Cyberstalking is a relatively understudied area in criminology, with no consensus among scholars as to whether it represents a modified form of stalking or whether it is an entirely new and emerging criminal phenomenon. Using data from the 2006 Supplemental Victimization Survey (SVS) to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), this study compares stalking and cyberstalking victims across several dimensions, including situational features of their experiences and self-protective behaviors. Results indicate that there are significant differences between stalking and cyberstalking victims, including their number of self-protective behaviors adopted, duration of contact with their stalker, financial costs of victimization, and perceived fear at onset. Perceived fear over time, the occurrence of a physical attack, and sex of the victim were all associated with a higher number of self-protective behaviors for cyberstalking victims compared to stalking victims, net of the effect of the control variables. Implications for stalking theory, research, and criminal justice policy are discussed.
