The Practice of Law as an Obstacle to Justice: Chinese Lawyers at Work

This article helps strengthen our comparative and theoretical understanding of lawyers as gatekeepers to justice by analyzing the screening practices of lawyers in a non-Western context. The explanation for Chinese lawyers' aversion to representing workers with labor grievances focuses on their own working conditions, on the organization of their legal labor, and on their evaluations of the moral character of prospective clients. By linking the screening practices of Chinese lawyers to their socioeconomic insecurity and to popular stereotypes informing and legitimating their screening decisions, this article identifies institutional and cultural obstacles not only to the official justice system but also to cause lawyering. After establishing motives for screening clients, this article then demonstrates lawyers' screening methods: by defining legal reality in strategic and often misleading ways, lawyers use the law as a weapon against the interests of the individuals who seek their help.     

环境法行政强制机制检讨

绿色发展中的环境法实施问题:基于PX事件的微观分析

环境法的实施是当前中国环境法治的核心议题。在环保新常态和推进绿色发展的时代背景下,不应先验地将地方政府视为阻碍环境法实施的消极因素,而是需要从微观视角出发进行更为细化地分析。运用社会科学研究中的假设—验证方法,对近年来具有代表性的PX事件的研究表明,环境法的实施情况并不能作为解释PX事件治理困境的主要原因;将厦门PX事件视为范例掩盖了其复杂的博弈过程,反而对类似事件的合理解决造成阻碍。PX事件治理困境之根源,在于政府权力运作的短期性与随意性。中国环境法实施现状与公众诉求之间的矛盾,源于行政权力运作的实践逻辑,是一种内生困境而非外在困境,并不是简单通过加大外部资源投入就能解决,而是要依赖制度性约束条件的转变与改善,其关键环节在于实现政府决策模式从嵌入到善治的转型。

Recursivity in Legal Change: Lawyers and Reforms of China's Criminal Procedure Law

This article employs a new framework for legal change, the recursivity of law, to explain why China's criminal procedure law has cycled through numerous reforms between 1979 and 2008 without improving the conditions of lawyers' criminal defense work. The authors argue that Chinese lawyers' difficulties in criminal defense have deep roots in the recursive nature of the criminal procedure reforms. In particular, those difficulties were produced by interactions of the four mechanisms of recursivity (indeterminacy of law, contradictions, diagnostic struggles, and actor mismatch) in both lawmaking and implementation. The empirical analysis shows that these mechanisms are linked in pairs and in sequence. This logic of change offers an integrated interdisciplinary approach to the enactment and implementation of law in other times, places, and areas of law.     

绿色“一带一路”环境法规制研究

在绿色一带一路建设中强化环境法规制具有必需性和迫切性。一带一路沿线部分国家普遍存在生态环境脆弱的客观情况,而我国海外投资实行长期开发新模式,出于提升我国环境保护形象和防范环境风险引发经济风险等目的,都亟待强化环境法规制。绿色一带一路要求我国走出去的企业接受东道国环境法的规制,同时自觉对接我国有关主管部门的依法监管。当前我国涉外环境立法严重不足,对走出去的企业缺乏环境监管;司法机关受管辖权限制难以发挥职能作用;企业因守法意识淡漠而易引发诸多环境纠纷。我国应当坚守人类命运共同体理念和国际环境法的基本原则;对走出去的企业从环境立法、环境行政监管、促进企业合规经营等方面进行指导监督;将司法机关发挥审判职能作用与建立健全国际多元化环境纠纷解决机制相结合,高效解决建设一带一路进程中的各类环境纠纷,依法保障建设一带一路目标的全面实现。     

Hiring Teams,Firms, and Lawyers: Evidence of the Evolving Relationships in the Corporate Legal Market

How are relationships between corporate clients and law firms evolving? Drawing on interview and survey data from 166 chief legal officers of S&P 500 companies from 2006–2007, we find that—contrary to standard depictions of corporate client‐provider relationships—(1) large companies have relationships with ten to twenty preferred providers; (2) these relationships continue to be enduring; and (3) clients focus not only on law firm platforms and lead partners, but also on teams and departments within preferred providers, allocating work to these subunits at rival firms over time and following “star” lawyers, especially if they move as part of a team. The combination of long‐term relationships and subunit rivalry provides law firms with steady work flows and allows companies to keep cost pressure on firms while preserving relationship‐specific capital, quality assurance, and soft forms of legal capacity insurance. Our findings have implications for law firms, corporate departments, and law schools.     

对症下药：规范法官与律师关系 促进公正廉洁执法——以68件法官受贿案为分析样本

司法不公、司法腐败是近年来社会舆论和公众关注的焦点，其中一些法官与律师沆瀣一气行贿受贿的案件更是焦点中的焦点，由此严重损害了法律的权威和尊严，加剧了人们对人民法院公信力和律师维护社会正义信念的怀疑或动摇。如何防范、惩治司法人员的腐败犯罪，规范法官与律师的关系，确保公正、廉洁执法，是政法界长期的重要任务。
