论监所线人与刑事冤案:域外经验与本土建构

监所线人制度乃现代社会中的必要之恶。监所线人证言与一般证人证言相比具有内在的不可靠性,故需谨慎采用,否则容易造成冤狱。美国和加拿大均有类似的惨痛经历,因此近些年进行了司法改革。我国也面临类似问题,有必要借鉴域外经验改革完善:一方面要高度重视监所线人证言,不与普通证人证言等同视之;另一方面须完善审查机制,确立假定不可信规则与补强规则。此外,还应重视跨部门相关知识的培训。     

Impacts of increasing volume of digital forensic data: A survey and future research challenges

A major challenge to digital forensic analysis is the ongoing growth in the volume of data seized and presented for analysis. This is a result of the continuing development of storage technology, including increased storage capacity in consumer devices and cloud storage services, and an increase in the number of devices seized per case. Consequently, this has led to increasing backlogs of evidence awaiting analysis, often many months to years, affecting even the largest digital forensic laboratories. Over the preceding years, there has been a variety of research undertaken in relation to the volume challenge. Solutions posed range from data mining, data reduction, increased processing power, distributed processing, artificial intelligence, and other innovative methods. This paper surveys the published research and the proposed solutions. It is concluded that there remains a need for further research with a focus on real world applicability of a method or methods to address the digital forensic data volume challenge.     

中国及有关国家关于南海群岛、钓鱼岛归属的法理比较

最近,钓鱼岛和南中国海争端已经成为我国面临的重大国际挑战,通过历史证据和他国的一些文件、地图等资料论证他国对我国在钓鱼岛和南海诸岛的承认在国际法上的意义,并对相关国家以现代海洋法作为主权要求根据的局限性予以分析,结合时际法原则总结出南海诸群岛、钓鱼岛的主权归属问题。有关国家对南沙群岛、钓鱼岛的主权要求不仅缺乏历史根据,而且在国际法上也站不着脚;它们对南沙群岛、钓鱼岛的侵占活动是非法的、无效的行为。     

“中国法理学”的“发现”──“中国法理学史”在近代的创建

在中国近代,梁启超、胡适和王振先开创了"中国法理学史"的研究,从而"发现"了"中国法理学"。他们分别撰著的《中国法理学发达史论》、《中国哲学史大纲》"法的哲学"部分和《中国古代法理学》,作为"中国法理学史"的三个典型文本,对"中国法理学史"的范围、论域和方法,都进行了创造性的探索。其意义在于,促进了学界对"中国古代法理学"在文化与学术上的认同,使近代以后的"中国法理学"具有回访渊源和返本开新的可能。     

法的发现与证立

无论是法律现实主义还是决断论,均有明显的非理性主义倾向,因而表现出跟法律论证理论截然相反的研究旨趣。受到科学哲学上相关研究的启示,发现与证立之二分逐渐被法学家引入到法学领域,并成为克服各种非理性主义的重要根据。法的发现与证立之二分同时存在解释学上的依据。通过这种区分,法律论证的范围和目标等基本理论要素大体上就确定下来。这一区分构成法律论证的重要理论基础。     

"发现"与"创设"--西方法学立法原则流变--浅谈西方三大法学流派对立法原则的影响

长久以来,部分学者或者认为立法是发现法律的过程,或者认为是技术创设的过程,然而这两种看法都略失偏颇.立法是规范的法律规则(社会内生的)到建设的或技术的法律规则(实在法)的二度转化过程,是规则认识过程和法律创新过程的统一.通过对西方三大法学流派对立法原则影响的分析,可以看到"发现"与"创设"是不可分的立法过程中的两个环节.     

对建立我国证据开示制度的思考

证据开示是支撑对抗式审判制度的重要基点。现行刑事诉讼法缺少类似规定,既不利于审判改革的继续进行,也不利于保护当事人的合法权利,应该尽快予以完善。     

Discovering Directions for Change in Higher Education Through the Experiences of Senior Women Faculty

The Women in Science and Engineering Leadership Institute (WISELI) at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, an NSF-funded ADVANCE Institutional Transformation project, employed the “discovery interviews” method to characterize the experiences of senior women faculty in science and engineering on campus. This method allowed WISELI to reach its aims of (1) gaining information from senior women that would inform the programs developed by WISELI, and (2) building relationships among the senior women and WISELI. The discovery interview process also had some unintended consequences, including creation of an expectation of advocacy that exceeded the original intent of the project. This method was well-matched to the needs of WISELI as a change agent at the UW-Madison, and has contributed a great deal to its Institutional Transformation efforts, primarily by changing WISELI’s perceptions of what leadership means to senior women faculty.     

由“阅卷难”引发的对“证据开示制度”的思考

本文探讨了“阅卷难”问题产生的原因，分析了由“阅卷难”问题引出的建立庭前证据开示制度存在的主要争议，并对建立完善的庭前证据开示制度提出了建议。     

当代科学方法论的特质

科技史证明许多伟大的科技成就都取决于方法创新和思维革命。从原子论、整体论、归纳演绎论、分析综合论、直觉论、否证论、一直到各种非理性主义,人类的思维和方法经历了一系列的飞跃与革命。方法创新和思维革命打破了科技活动中那些僵死陈旧的研究传统,推动着科学技术的不断进步与繁荣。今天,人类要想继续推动科学技术突飞猛进,就需要在认识论和方法论上特别关注普遍流行的各种非理性方法和后现代思维。其中,特别需要抬高直觉创造,提升科幻神话,倡扬发散式思维,普及科学虚构和赛博虚构,以提升人的发明创造能力。
