CBS All Access续订《傲骨之战 The Good Fight》第二季。

The Good Wife returns this fall, Sundays at 9 p.m. on CBS.
<好媳妇>将在今秋于CBS回归，有传言这将是最后一季。虽然后期在剧情上洒满了狗血，并且我们熟悉的小伙伴都逐一离开了，但这依旧是一部伟大的剧情。尽管在收视率来看，它从来不算是一个大热门剧集，但备受评论家和艾美奖待见。希望好聚好散，在第七季能看到枯木逢春。

本书是关于中国清代与民国期间的法律与司法实践的研究专著。全书共三部分：导论；第一部，从清代法律到国民党法律；第二部，清代与国民党民事法律制度的比较。其中，第一部分为三章，介绍国民党民事法律的产生到成形过程，第二部分为七章，从典、田面权、债、赡养、婚姻等几个方面对清代与国民党民事法律制度进行了比较，最后的第十一章是结论。本书有两条线索：一是回答从清代到1949年，中国民事法律制度经历了怎样的变与不变；二是通过对清代与民国时期司法实践的考察，否定了“好人不见官”的传统看法，明确指出在此期间多数老百姓是使用法律手段来维护自己的合法权利，并且多数县令、法官也是依法行事。

Faith in the utility and value of legal rights forms the political common sense of our age. With its profound breadth and insight into the modern condition, Max Weber's social and political thought is widely considered to be the most influential of the era. Legal phenomena play a centre-stage role in his account of the development of the West and the rationalism of modern social arrangements.Cary Boucock's "In the Grip of Freedom" examines the relationship between Max Weber's "Sociology of Law" and his interpretation of the structure and meaning of modern society. Weber's social and political thought is investigated in the context of developments in Canada which have followed the 1982 enactment of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms-namely, the movement toward a rights-oriented nation where broad social issues are routed through the courts, and the political self-understanding of the citizen becomes increasingly tied to a conception of the individual as a rights-bearing subject. Professor Boucock's text runs against the grain of conventional assessments of Weber's legal theory and its applicability to understanding contemporary legal developments. He explores the significance of Weber's sociology of law theories within the larger compass of his sociological thought and illustrates the significance of Weber's sociology for interpreting the social dimensions of present-day legal developments in Canada. Weber's work is a vehicle for understanding the social and legal practices of our own time, and thus, goes far beyond a simple interpretation of the great German thinker.

In "Explorations in Law and Society", Alan Hunt seeks to transform the relationship between law and the other social sciences. One of the foremost theorists of the sociology of law, Hunt has been at the forefront of the "Law and Society" and "Critical Legal Studies" movements. In this work, he directs his arguments against the illusion of law as a self-sufficient discipline which involves a lack of intellectual vitality and leads to a narrowly technical legal education. The addition of a measure of social science or philosophy is not enough to compensate for the deficiencies of orthodox legal studies. Much of the sociological work on law has put forth an image of law as the passive reflection of social, economic and political forces. This view of the legal process stands in direct opposition to the legal orthodoxy that law is an autonomous force able to check economic and political power. Hunt provides the approach needed to avoid these polarities. He draws on a range of intellectual resources, including the sociology of law, liberal jurisprudence, Marxism and Foucauldian social theory.

《送法下乡:中国基层司法制度研究(修订版)》各章（有关方法的第十二章除外）集中关注和讨论的中国司法制度的所有问题，在不同程度上或以改变了的方式仍然存在；有的有所改善，有的则更尖锐了；并且不限于基层法院，甚至不限于中国的中西部或农村地区；当年研究问题的基本思路，以中国问题和经验为基础的分析和理论追求，至今或许仍然前沿，特别是面对概念法学和教义法学的泛滥；随着中国的和平崛起，《送法下乡:中国基层司法制度研究(修订版)》中展现的对中国问题和中国学术的关注甚至变得更为急迫了。这本曾引发很多讨论和争议的书，因为不合时宜，才没过时，甚或更有针对性了。

本书是由至少25位专家学者共同完成的一部学术专著，它绝非论文集或个人著作所能比似的。它具有专著的理论体系和内在结构联系，在设计有效措施反对就业歧视的过程中需要着重解决以下四个重要问题：定义歧视，了解不歧视的基本国际标准，分析中国现存的歧视问题，并从法律，政策和社会学的角度寻求解决这些问题的途径，比较和借鉴其他国家反歧视的经验。
