刑事诉讼中科学证据认证研究

在我国,科学证据的使用范围越来越广泛,而由于缺少完善的证据体系,侦查人员对科学证据的审查认定,主要限于其相关性,即审查是否具有能够证明案件事实的能力,是否真实可靠,而对于其可釆性,即是否具有证据资格的审查,则存在两方面的问题:第一,仅限于对鉴定意见形式要件的审查;第二,对其所依据的认证理由不予公开。     

Getting things straight: The effects of ballot design and electoral structure on voter participation

This paper considers the implications of the straight-party voting option (STVO) on participation in judicial elections. Voters using straight-party options (by definition) do not vote for candidates in nonpartisan elections. Consequently, ballot roll-off in these elections is more likely to occur when people are given the chance to vote the party ticket and complete the voting process quickly. This is the case because nonpartisan judicial elections are considerably less salient than statewide and federal partisan elections. This article separates out the effects of the institutional structure of the election on political participation with the effects of ballot design. We find that in nonpartisan elections, the straight-party option decreases voter participation since voters who utilize the straight-ticket option may erroneously believe that they have voted for these nonpartisan offices, or simply ignore them. However, in nonpartisan elections without straight-ticket voting, participation is increased compared to nonpartisan elections with straight-ticket voting. Additionally, both forms of nonpartisan elections have less participation than partisan elections, all of which have the straight-ticket option. Thus, voter participation is affected not only by the type of election, but the type of voting rules in the election.     

刑事瑕疵证据补正规则的完善路径

对瑕疵证据进行补正不仅是为了满足厘清案件事实与保障基本诉权的现实需要,也是稳定社会秩序与实现程序正义的必然要求。欲有效降低瑕疵发生之频率,需规制侦查取证之流程与拓宽监督取证之形式。不仅如此,立法还需发力,一方面可将被追诉者对瑕疵的明示同意增设为治愈瑕疵的路径之一,另一方面应当明确救治瑕疵之程序。为提高侦查人员救治瑕疵的积极性,不妨赋予法官一项处罚建议权。     

生态文明制度建设研究综述——基于党的十八大以来的研究文献

党的十八大报告突出了生态文明建设的地位,明确提出加强生态文明制度建设。由此,学界掀起了对生态文明制度建设研究的热潮,围绕其内涵、框架体系、建设路径及制度设计的局限性等方面展开研究,取得了丰富的理论成果,但同时也存在一些不足。今后应进一步深化研究内容、拓宽研究视角、细化研究对象、加强研究成果的应用,从而提高生态文明制度建设研究的针对性、可操作性和应用性,更好地为我国生态文明制度建设提供有益帮助。     

证据关联性规则的价值探析——从路人现象的治理出发

若要从根本上消除路人现象,促进社会公共道德的重建,我国法律必须做必要的改革与完善。美国联邦证据规则之关联性规则,在体现公正、效率的价值之外,还具有公共政策的重要价值。我国有必要尽早借鉴该规则的价值取向,以完善我国证据关联性规则的相关立法。     

论我国遗产范围立法的完善

值此我国《继承法》正被修改之际,提出修改、完善立法的建议：遗产范围涵盖被继承人生前债务的观点,不符合我国民众对遗产内涵的理解和我国法律对遗产界定的传统习惯,故不宜被采纳。对于立法模式的选择,宜采取正面概括与反面排除相结合的模式,删除现有对财产种类的列举性规定,新设反面的排除性规定,同时明确被继承人之人身专属性财产的除外地位;对于遗产的性质界定,应删除“合法”二字的限定词,补充财产占有也属于遗产的范围;对于遗产范围的具体内容,应当增设不完全遗产的一般规定,专门明确其概念,然后分别在遗产分割和必遗份（或特留份）制度中具体规定不完全遗产的主要内容,包括归扣或扣减的主体、标的、免除及方法等。     

Thickening Civil Society: Explaining the Development of Associational Life in Mexico

Scholarship has demonstrated the important role that associational life has played in democratic transitions, democratic consolidation, and making democracy work. Unfortunately, however, many countries that have recently completed the transition to democracy lack a strong history of autonomous associations. Given their importance, this research seeks to understand how nonprofit organizations emerge in current-day Mexico, a recent transition country with a traditionally weak associational life, historically controlled by the state. Through a comparison of four Mexican cities this research finds that a transition from one-party rule to competitive elections was necessary to break the incentives for clientelism. Even following the transition, however, the persistence of informal rules from the old regime operating in both government and society restricts the opportunities available to potential ‘public entrepreneurs’. As a result, such entrepreneurs are highly dependent on already existing social infrastructure to obtain necessary human, organizational, and financial resources.     

刍议反倾销规则并入竞争法体系的几个问题

反倾销长期以来受到来自实务界和学术圈的广泛批评,针对反倾销规则的弊病存在改良说、废除说和取代说三种主要变革方案。取代说有一定的必要性和可行性,但可能面临一些障碍,应在认识将反倾销纳入竞争规则体系的必要性和可行性(即取代说)的基础上,设立在我国现行法律框架下统一进口产品和本国产品低价倾销规则的一些具体方法和途径。     

海事特权(Maritime Liens)法律适用新论--兼评《中华人民共和国民法(草案)》第9编第37条第4款

Maritime liens在国内没有统一的中文译名,“海事特权”一词更能揭示其本质。各国关于哪些债权受海事特权担保的规定存在较大差异,法律冲突尤为显著,但目前尚没有广为接受的实体公约和统一的冲突规则。美国的典型判例所揭示的冲突规则与英国固守的传统规则相比更符合国际民商事交往的需要,这对受英国传统规则影响的《中华人民共和国民法(草案)》第九编37条第4款的完善无益是一种有益的启示。
