“学”德沃金判案与德沃金判案——两种法律解释方法的案例比较

法律比较是反思法律的方法论与认识论的路径。功能比较法以比较对象和比较样本为基本概念,关注法律的功能及其实际效果。法律解释方法是法律规范的功能发挥机制中必不可少的关键一环。从中美两国各自的法治背景来看,德沃金所主张的法律的建设性的整体阐释是一种促进人们反思法律、反思自我的方法,对于思考中国的法治进程具有一定的启发意义。

"Learn From" Dworkin to Decide a Case and How Dworkin Decides a Case--A Comparison of Cases with Different Ways of Interpretation of Law

Comparison of laws is a means to profoundly consider laws in terms of methodology and epistemology. With comparative objects and comparative samples as its footholds, functional comparative law focuses on any law's functions and practical efficiency. Interpretations of law serve as an indispensable part in any law's functional mechanism. Upon study of the different legality backgrounds in China and the U.S.A., this paper determines that the constructive and integral interpretation of law asserted by Dworkin is a method that urges reconsideration of law and self-retrospection, which will, to some extent, throw light on the improvement of China's legality.
