作为村庄纠纷处理人的乡村混混探析——兼论小戚族的村庄基础

传统的观点认为,有乡村混混介入就是乡村社会灰色化,乡村社会灰色化就是乡村混混或者混混式的行动捣鬼的结果。在对乡村混混作了学术梳理后,通过个案分析表明,乡村混混与乡村社会灰色化并不存在必然对应的关系。重新认识了原子化村民的行动逻辑,并且试图用"小戚族"的概念详细解释有乡村混混介入村庄纠纷事件的处理逻辑,从而指出可能存在乡村混混的"身份"与"角色"之不统一。     

Toward Better Outcomes for Families Through Innovative Dispute Resolution Programs in England

This article explores and shares the learning from two of Cafcass’ innovative dispute resolution pilot programs. The programs aim to improve outcomes for families against the backdrop of rising private law demand in England, while keeping the child at the center. The Positive co‐Parenting Programme pilot provides a structured intervention to reduce conflict and promote timely resolution for children and families in complex cases. The Support with Making Child Arrangements pilot explores whether the provision of a package of support to parents ahead of the first court hearing can help them come to safe agreements about their children without the need for court intervention.     

民国北京政府立宪进程中关于行政诉讼模式的争论

清末预备立宪官制改革中首先提出了行政裁判院的设想,并提出了《行政裁判院官制草案》,后又起草了《行政审判院法》,①但最终因辛亥革命的爆发未能颁布。民国之后,尽管1912年《中华民国临时约法》中规定了以平政院作为审理行政案件的机关,但对于行政裁判模式究竟应采特别模式还是普通模式一直存在着争议,且论争贯穿于整个北京政府立宪过程之中。     

Transgender Family Law

Transgender people face unique issues in parentage, custody, and divorce cases. Many transgender people are raising children or wish to do so. This article examines the main legal issues facing transgender people who become parents by giving birth or impregnating a partner, through assisted reproduction, through marriage, by raising a child, or through adoption. In the past, some courts viewed a parent's gender transition as a sufficient reason to terminate parental rights. Today, the law has shifted to provide much more security for transgender parents, though significant bias still remains, particularly in divorce and child custody cases. In addition, many states have not yet fully addressed how to determine the legal parentage of children born through assisted reproduction. I analyze the legal landscape for transgender parents and spouses and offer critical suggestions to ensure that transgender people are able to protect their families and their parental rights.     

Book Review: How Mediation Works: Theory,Research, and Practice by Stephen B. Goldberg,Jeanne M. Brett,Beatrice Blohorn‐Brenneur,With Nancy H. Rogers

This is a book review of How Mediation Works: Theory, Research, and Practice by Stephen B. Goldberg, Jeanne M. Brett, Beatrice Blohorn‐Brenneur, with Nancy H. Rogers. How Mediation Works is intended for a wide range of audiences: practicing mediators; aspiring mediators; those who may refer cases to mediation; participants in mediation, including parties and attorneys; managers who facilitate disputes; and those interested in mediation without a specific plan to engage in the practice (who the authors call “mediation learners”). The book is a well‐written, thoughtful, easy‐to‐read, organized, and concise overview of mediation practice. The book is divided into six chapters: (1) conflicts, disputes, and their resolution; (2) dispute resolution processes; (3) the roles of the mediator and the disputing parties at each step of the mediation process; (4) dealing with difficulties; (5) mediation and the law; and (6) suggestions for aspiring mediators. Though not an authority for family law mediation, the book provides many insightful observations and suggestions that would be instructive and helpful to any mediator or individual with an interest in mediation.     

司法调解与治理变革--以陕甘宁边区基层司法档案为中心的考察

司法调解是多元化纠纷解决机制的重要组成部分之一,而以陕甘宁边区为代表的革命根据地调解制度,则是当代中国司法调解的主要渊源。革命根据地的调解,不止是一项司法制度或者新型司法制度中的一个环节,它实质上更是一种治理模式,辅助革命政策的推行。通过荣誉、身份等象征资本重塑调解人,不断将革命伦理、法制融入新型调解规则体系之中,中国共产党借助司法调解,较好地实现了革命根据地社会治理模式的变革,有效消解了革命法制与社会旧俗之间的紧张关系,增进了普通民众对共产党政权的认同度。革命时期的调解尽管存在制度缺漏、行政导向等缺陷,但它对社会文化、习俗的娴熟运用,对社会组织、地方权威人物的组织吸纳,以及注重消弭社会冲突、维护邻里和睦的价值取向,实际上是中国共产党领导的治理变革在法治中的生动体现,也成为当下司法与社会治理可资取鉴的历史资源。     

试论合同诈骗犯罪的认定

合同诈骗犯罪应从履行合同的能力、履行合同的行为两方面来认定。对经济合同诈骗犯罪与经济合同纠纷认定的根据是当事人的履行能力及其主观心理状态和当事人的实际履约行为及其主观心理状态。合同诈骗犯罪的侦查重点要放在查清犯罪嫌疑人犯罪的故意、犯罪主体、犯罪行为及资金流向等方面。     

纠纷解决机制外在制度环境的优化——以行政调解制度为例

深刻反思我国的行政调解制度实践，为行政调解制度的建构和完善提供必要的理论支持，是行政法学面临的重要研究课题。显然，与制度内在设计之改良同等重要的是制度外在环境的优化。就当下中国的行政调解制度而言，重塑其法律地位，加强其意识形态领域的重构，建立健全源自行政问责的制度保障，就成为实现这种优化的具体内容。只有如此，才有可能实现行政调解在中国社会治理实践中的制度预期。     

中国志愿者出境从事志愿服务相关法律问题探析

自1981年中国政府代表与“联合国志愿人员组织”（UNV）代表在北京签约决定互派联合国志愿人员以来，中国与境外的志愿服务交流不断加强。2008年奥运会为我国志愿服务事业的深入发展提供了良好契机，越来越多的中国志愿者将走出国门从事志愿服务活动,但中国志愿者出境从事志愿服务所涉及的相关法律问题并未引起学者尤其是法学者的足够重视。本文在考察我国地方和国外立法实践的基础上，分别从中国志愿者出境问题和相关法律冲突解决的角度进行分析，并提出具体的立法建议，以推动境外志愿服务活动沿着规范化方向发展。
