法学之殇

学非易事,磨砺以求,未必有所成,现如今法学论文人人会写,学术研究似为易事,这类现象的背后是学术出现严重失范、脱序现象。真学术必然要有创新,法学研究必须强调学术原创性,窃人立意,掠人之美,与剽窃词句如出一辙;创制一套新词,制造语言的魔障,也不足取。学者不能不没有一点“专利权”意识,某种学术观点既然有人提出,再当作自己的创见,便属“学术不端”。法学论著最重要的是思想,其价值应当表现在有原创性观点,做不到这一点之所谓“学术”不过是“表态式学术”。缺乏健全的学术批评是当今法学研究保持低劣化和“学术成果”泛滥成灾的一大原因。高质量的法学研究成果需要精工细雕,为减少垃圾学术,学者应有不写或者少写的勇气。     

卡多佐司法哲学解读

卡多佐是英语世界有史以来最著名、最伟大的法官之一,也是美国现实主义法学的最杰出的代表人物之一。其司法哲学对司法及其过程——司法的价值取向、司法的方法、司法的至高境界等——进行了深刻、独到的说明和阐释。卡多佐的司法哲学既是其存在于其间的时代的要求的热烈回应,又具有相当程度的普适性,对当今中国的司法理论和司法实践有着重要的参考价值和启发意义。

学术品格的高境界是规范与创新的有机统一

目前学界关于规范与创新的问题存在着种种针锋相对的、矛盾的见解 ,以至于对之产生了合乎理式的困惑 ,而何以至此的症结恰在于 :学界有待对以下两个方面作深入探讨 :其一 ,我们的学术研究缺乏自己独立的学术品格 ;其二 ,尚未理顺学术规范和思想创新二者的关系 ,还没有确立学术品格的高境界 :学术规范和思想创新的有机统一。     

Law-making functions of the Chinese courts: Judicial activism in a country of rapid social changes

The judicial production of law and the legislative production of law make a striking distinction between the two legal traditions. Despite of these differences, judges in both legal traditions in adjudicating cases have a common task, which is the application of legal rules to the facts of cases pending for judgments. The tension between the certainty and the “discretion” is universal for any legal system and, to a certain extent, it poses a hard dilemma for the rhetoric of rule of law. In the transitional countries such as China where rapid social changes and transformations take place, the judiciary and judges can not escape from taking more active roles in interpreting or even law making process. It arouses much controversy, particularly in continental legal traditions, for the judiciary is deemed to perform a mechanical role in adjudicating cases. This article intends to analyze the needs for judicial law-making function in China and its reasons. It reveals that judicial interpretation constitutes an important source of law despite its ambiguous legislative position. The article argues that judicial activism is inevitable against the transitional nature of current Chinese society.

The emotional motivation of righteous behavior

A distinction is made between two types of prosocial behavior: personal-helping and righteous behavior. Past studies suggest that sympathy may motivate personal helping but not righteous behavior. The latter may be better predicted by feelings of moral outrage and existential guilt. An experiment was designed to motivate a piece of righteous behavior, the writing of a political letter to stop the testing of nuclear weapons. A series of premeasures ascertained strength of attitude, sense of efficacy, acceptance of responsibility, and prior antinuclear behavior. Subjects who supported a nuclear freeze were exposed to material advocating a nuclear test ban, a video of a congressional aide who argued for the efficacy of writing letters to congressional representatives, and emotionally arousing material on the bombing of Hiroshima. After answering a questionnaire that included items to measure emotional state, subjects were individually given the opportunity to write a letter as they were waiting to be interviewed. Social pressure was deliberately minimized. Extent of moral outrage predicted both previous behavior and letter-writing behavior during the experiment. It combined with previous behavior and sense of efficacy to predict 56% of the variance in experimental behavior: Neither sympathy nor existential guilt were significantly related to this righteous behavior.

能动与协同:社区法官制度的东莞模式

社区法官制度是人民法庭在辖区内的社区(村或居委会)设立法官工作室,指定法官驻点社区、就地化解纠纷的制度。社区法官解决的主要是民生纠纷、群体性纠纷和简单经济纠纷;社区法官主动处理非诉纠纷,法官与社区调解人协同解决诉讼纠纷。社区法官制度有利于提高纠纷解决效率、增强司法的的权威性和有效性。社区法官制度的发展进路是:建立社区法官助理"网格化"制度,以社区法官助理为平台整合基层解纷资源,完善联动机制,建立社区法官助理系统激励制度。
