以现代法理念为基础 ,解析现代刑事诉讼的基本特点 ,由此得出以下结论 :“刑事诉讼法现代化”是我国刑事诉讼法未竟的历史使命 ,也是我国刑事诉讼法发展的基本方向     

俄罗斯新旧《法典》非法证据排除规则比较与启示

新旧《俄罗斯联邦刑事诉讼法典》关于非法证据及其排除规则的规定存在许多差异,特别是新《法典》有了许多新的规定与发展,显示了从注重打击犯罪到保障人权与打击犯罪并重的转变,这对完善我国非法证据排除规则具有良多启示。     

仲裁员委任程序问题新探

仲裁员是仲裁的生命线,是保障仲裁公正的首要因素,而决定仲裁员素质高低的仲裁员委任制度自然成为仲裁程序框架搭建的根基。当前,仲裁员委任制度还存在相当大的发展空间,其中就委任的程序而言,核心问题在于如何在以当事人意思自治为首位的前提下,对仲裁员委任的程序推进作出一定合理的、必要的规制,以实现自治与限制这两个对立面平衡和统一。     

Learning under the cross: legal challenges to ‘cultural–religious symbolism’ in public schools

This article examines the nature and scope of the legal challenges mounted against religious symbolism in European public schools. It discusses religion in education and the relationship between Church and State in European societies. The European Court is defining what counts as a religious symbol through a secular lens and while the court upholds the right to hold a religious belief it qualifies this right to manifest belief in public. This article argues that the courts should be more accommodating in their approach towards the public manifestation of religious beliefs and traditions.     

传闻证据规则的基本问题及其在我国的适用

传闻证据规则是普通法系国家一项重要的证据规则,原则上要求排除传闻证据。在我国确立这一规则对倡导证人出庭、遏制书面证言泛滥有积极意义。但是单纯地引进该规则并不能直接全面解决以上问题。我们必须考察传闻证据规则的制度背景及其在我国的适应性。只有结合本国情况,继承性地进行司法改革才能有效地解决本土问题。     

论鉴定结论质证的路径依赖

鉴定结论是鉴定人利用自己的专门知识或经验对案件事实或其他证据的解读,在保证鉴定结论准确性的三条进路中,提升质证质量不失为较佳的路径依赖。对鉴定结论的质证应当在当事人以及诉讼代理人参加的诉讼环境中引入专家辅助人和专家陪审员的参与机制,通过形成专家陪审员、专家辅助人和鉴定人三维构造的庭审质证模式使鉴定结论质量得到提升,从而保证借助鉴定结论认定事实的准确性。     

关于刑事案件中人民警察出庭作证的理论探讨

人民警察出庭作证是当前刑事诉讼法学尤其是刑事证据学研究的热点之一,相关研究为数不少且主要侧重于制度建设方面的研究,而对于人民警察出庭作证尤其是刑事案件中公安机关人民警察出庭作证的基础性、原则性问题即正当性、合法性和必要性的分析还欠充分,这样就使得关于人民警察出庭作证的制度研究脚跟不稳。工欲善其事,必先利其器。只有把这几个原则性问题研究清楚、透彻、明白,才能为以后的制度发展和建设立好根本。     

死刑量刑程序刍议

就目前中国的国情和司法现状而言，应当把死刑案件的改革集中在一审程序的加强和改造上，尤其是加强死刑量刑程序的规范化建设。应在我国死刑程序的审理中设立一个单独的量刑程序。重心在于解决选择合适的死刑量刑程序模式、提高证明标准、确立非法证据排除规则、引入量刑建议制度等方面的认识问题。构建我国死刑量刑程序的具体思路，应从量刑程序合议庭的组成、定罪程序与量刑程序的间隔、量刑程序的自动启动、控辨双方就证据进行质证、以及量刑程序中的特殊调查取证权等方面着眼。     

公诉阶段刑事程序分流制度浅析

公诉阶段的程序分流制度是世界各国提高诉讼效率,减轻司法审判的压力、保证诉讼公正的一种重要制度,这项制度已经得到了国际社会的普遍认可并在西方法治发达国家发展得日益成熟,而对于我国来说还较为陌生。应当在对我国公诉阶段程序分流制度的现状的考察和借鉴其他国家有益经验的基础之上,改革和完善我国公诉阶段程序分流制度。     

PUBLIC OPINION REACTION TO REPEATED EVENTS: Citizen Response to Multiple Supreme Court Abortion Decisions

While numerous works explores how single events or political actions affect public opinion, almost no research explores how this effect evolves with repeated actions. The Conditional Response Model holds that while elite actors can influence and polarize the public when they first act on an issue, subsequent action will not have this same effect. We challenge this model based on its depiction of psychological models of attitude formation and change. Instead of focusing on the number of times an actor has addressed an issue, we argue that the state of public opinion is the key to determining how the public will react to multiple elite actions over a long timeframe. We examine how the public reacted to multiple Supreme Court decisions on abortion. Our results suggest that the Conditional Response Model does a poor job of depicting public opinion and that actors are not limited in their influence by the number of previous actions on an issue.
