从传统走向现代：社会保障权司法救济的检省与矫正

社会保障权是社会保障法的核心,是现代社会的一项基本人权,其本质是社会权。有权利就应当有救济,其中司法救济又是权利救济途径中最权威、最行之有效的方式,是保障公民社会保障权利恒久不易的追求。由于社会保障权的特殊性质,传统的民事和行政救济体系已不能适应社会保障争议的需要,打破传统的普通诉讼程序,借鉴国外成熟经验,完善和创设符合社会保障权特征的现代的特殊司法救济机制已成为必然之选。

论预告登记之债权在破产程序中的法律地位和保障

预告登记之债权与我国传统破产法中的各项权利有本质不同,其具有相对独立的法律地位。预告登记之债权在破产程序中的保障和实现具有特殊的规则:在破产申请受理阶段,预告登记排除个别清偿无效原则、管理人选择权的适用;在破产重整程序中,预告登记后债权受营业保护的限制,对债权的分类而言,预告登记后的债权应当单列,它具有特定的债权调整方法;在破产和解阶段,预告登记具有对抗登记义务人之破产和解协议的效力;在破产清算阶段,预告登记后的债权与一般债权和别除权的顺位关系应根据实际情况具体分析。     

检察机关提起民事公益诉讼之权力解析及程序构建

我国的检察权是一种复合型的权力,法律监督权和公诉权是其最主要的两种权能,这两种权力在本质上存在不可兼容性。检察机关提起民事公益诉讼的权力源自其公诉职能。检察机关提起民事公益诉讼的制度构建应该首先在宪法上明确其公诉职能,并以此为据,在《人民检察院组织法》和《民事诉讼法》中确定检察机关在民事公益诉讼中的"公诉人"地位,设置检察机关提起公益诉讼的特别程序。     

论《物权法》第28条中“法律文书”的涵义与类型

我国《物权法》第28条因"法律文书"引起的物权变动,是司法裁判权、仲裁裁决权、强制执行权行使的结果,属于因公权力的行使发生的物权变动,故物权变动是否因公权力的行使而发生是确定该条款中"法律文书"涵义和类型的基础。由确认之诉、给付之诉及形成之诉各自功能所决定,直接引起物权变动的法律文书仅限于形成性法律文书,不包括确认性和给付性法律文书。形成性法律文书主要是指形成判决,即因形成诉权的行使作出的判决,而确认单纯形成权行使效力的判决不是形成判决。强制执行程序中拍卖成交确认裁定和强制抵债裁定也属于形成性法律文书。民事调解书不属于形成性法律文书的范畴,不能直接引起物权变动。     

Transformation: the Progression of Immigration Petitions for Transgender Spouses

U.S. citizens who marry foreign nationals may petition for their spouses so that the couple can reside permanently together in the United States. The guidelines set forth in the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Adjudicator's Field Manual provide guidance to immigration officials for determining whether to grant or deny spousal petitions. Previously, the Adjudicator's Field Manual imposed a requirement that transgender individuals undergo costly and dangerous sex reassignment surgery in order to qualify as married for the purposes of a spousal petition. However, revisions to the Adjudicator's Field Manual issued in April 2012 provide transgender binational couples the opportunity to remain together in the United States without forcing one partner to undergo sex reassignment surgery. Given the history of discrimination against transgender individuals under U.S. immigration law, these revisions are a significant step in equality for transgender couples. Although these revisions provide many transgender binational couples with a means to remain together in the United States, this Note proposes that, to continue on the path toward equality for transgender couples, special guidelines should not be applied to marriages involving transgender partners if their marriage is deemed a valid heterosexual marriage in the state where solemnized. The goals of U.S. immigration law and compliance with the federal definition of marriage can be achieved without implementing individualized guidelines for transgender binational couples.

Key Points for the Family Court Community:
• Transgender spouses of a binational couple should not be subjected to additional guidelines when submitting spousal petitions that, if granted, would afford the couple the opportunity to reside together in the United States
• Transgender individuals should not be subjected to disparate treatment solely because the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services seeks to enforce discriminatory provisions of the Defense of Marriage Act
• A marriage should be recognized by immigration law if it is a valid marriage under the law of the state where the marriage was celebrated
• In order to achieve U.S. immigration law's mission of family unification, nontraditional couples should be afforded the same opportunity to remain together in the United States without additional scrutiny

     

海洋的“公物”属性与海域用益物权的制度构建

自罗马法以降,海洋即具有＂公物＂属性。国家领海主权与国家海域所有权的出现,亦未改变海洋的＂公物＂属性。由这一属性所决定,海域用益物权的法理基础,不可能建立在国家海域所有权的＂权能转移＂基础之上,而只能建立在海洋资源的保护与合理利用的公共利益基础之上。由此出发,海域用益物权制度的构建,应通过严格法定主义原则,来适应明确界定公共利益范围的法治要求;在海域用益物权合同的订立中,国家不享有承诺自由,并且合同的相对性原则应受到第三人利益的限制;将海洋渔业养殖许可与海域用益物权相割裂,将前者视为一种资质许可的观点,不能成立。     

论行政执法程序抗辩权的概念

学界关于行政执法程序抗辩权概念的诸观点具有一定的启发与借鉴意义,但也呈现出些许缺憾。文章通过对现有概念的反思与扬弃,重构了行政执法程序抗辨权的内涵,展现了行政执法程序抗辩权的外延,并阐明了行政执法程序抗辩权与行政执法程序抵抗权及行政诉讼辩论权等相关范畴的界限。
