论司法信息公开

司法信息公开在我国已初露端倪。建立政府信息公开制度之后实行司法信息公开,对于扩大公共信息公开的覆盖面、保障公民的民主权利、增强国家机关的透明度、促进司法廉洁、实现司法公正均具有十分重要的意义。实行司法信息公开,应当对司法信息和司法信息公开进行正确、合理的界定,慎重、周密地确定司法信息公开的范围,科学地设计司法信息公开的方式和程序,并制定切实可行的保障、救济与监督措施。

对举证时限制度的功能考察——以“证据适时提出”为中心

我国法律没有规定举证时限制度,导致拖延诉讼、诉讼效率低下、当事人讼累增加、法院权威受损。本文认为,举证时限制度具有实现程序公正、提高诉讼效率、强化诚实信用原则、有利于促使当事人和解等功能,因此,在民事诉讼中建立举证时限制度势在必行。     

Criminal justice decision making as a stratification process: The role of race and stratification resources in pretrial release

Our purpose is to bridge the criminal justice and stratification research literatures and to pursue the argument that homologous structural principles stratify allocation processes across central institutions of American society. The principle observed here in the making of bail decisions, as in earlier studies of the allocation of earnings, is that stratification resources operate to the greater advantage of whites than blacks. The operation of this principle is established through the estimation of covariance structure models of pretrial release decisions affecting 5660 defendants in 10 federal courts. Education and income are treated in this study as observed components of a composite construct, stratification resources, which works to the greater advantage of whites. Prior record is also found to operate to the greater advantage of whites. Two further variables, dangerousness and community ties, increase bail severity among blacks and whites. While the effect of community ties has been legally legitimized since the Bail Reform Act of 1966, the effect of dangerousness was not so legitimized until the Bail Reform Act of 1984. However, because our data precede the latter act, they confirm that this act simply reinstitutionalized earlier practice. Meanwhile, our race-specific findings may explain why although this and earlier studies find negligible main effects of race on criminal justice outcomes, black Americans nonetheless perceive more criminal injustice than do whites. In the criminal justice system, as in other spheres of American society, whites receive a better return on their resources, but our findings that the statutory severity of the offense and dangerousness work to the relative disadvantage of white defendants challenges conflict and labeling theory's one-dimensional characterization of black defendant disadvantage.     

取保候审制度定位之思考

取保候审制度作为我国替代羁押的主要措施,其作用未得到充分有效的发挥,导致司法实践中审前羁押的大量存在,严重损害了犯罪嫌疑人、被告人的合法权益。本文对我国的取保候审制度的定位进行思考,并借鉴英美法系国家的保释制度,提出重新确立我国的取保候审制度的定位,使取保候审成为犯罪嫌疑人、被告人所享有的一项权利。

What is a Fair Trial? Rape Prosecutions, Disclosure and the Human Rights Act

This article engages with the vogue for predicting the effects of the Human Rights Act 1998 by focusing on the rape prosecution and trial. The specific interest is feminist scrutiny of the right to a fair trial, particularly the concept of ‘fairness’, in light of the increasing use of disclosure rules (in Canada and England) to gain access to medical and counseling records. Transcending the two contemporary narratives of ‘victims’/women’s rights and defendants’ rights in the criminal justice system, the authors argue for the infusion of the legal debate on disclosure with feminist understandings of wider cultural debates. They suggest that an increased reflexivity about intimacy, publicity and power, leading perhaps to the development of a concept of ‘democratic publicity’ (Fraser, 1997, p. 100), might help to revision the meaning of ‘relevant’ evidence in the rape trial. They also suggest that the wide-ranging cultural debate about memory, truth and history, and the emerging commitment to experimentation in responding to massive, institutionalised human rights violations (including apartheid, war crimes and child abuse) might be of use in deepening current thinking about the rape trial and listening to the ‘voice’ of the complainant. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

中海油漏油事件折射企业环境信息公开法律制度之殇

企业环境信息公开是现代社会经济发展对企业承担环境责任乃至社会责任的必然要求。但是就我国现阶段企业环境信息公开法律制度的情况来看，这一制度并未发挥其应有的作用，许多法律条文没有被严格执行。企业遇到环境问题时首先想到的不是承担义务或责任，而普遍想到的是如何隐瞒和逃避责任，这是环境法治建设的悲哀之处。这次中海油漏油事件再次为我国企业环境信息公开法律制度的建设提出了更为迫切的要求。
