The Idea of Arbitration 豆瓣
作者: Paulsson, Jan 2013 - 10
What is arbitration? This volume provides a novel theoretical examination of the concept of arbitration, attempting to answer fundamental questions which have rarely been addressed systematically in English. It exlores the place of arbitration in the legal process, offering a challenging, yet accessible overview of the field and its theoretical underpinnings and contending that arbitration is important enough to be understood in its own terms, as a sui generis feature of social life. Why do individuals, companies, and States choose to go to arbitration rather than through litigation? Arbitraton can offer increased flexibility and confidentiality, and provides the parties with the opportunity to select the arbitrators. But what makes them want to confide in an arbitrator rather than use the more traditional legal mechanisms for settling disputes? This volume explores what the parties can expect of an arbitrator, and whether and how the conduct of an arbitrator might be questioned and under what authority. It examines the ethical challenges to arbitral authority and and its moral hazards, evaluating the promises and dangers of self-contained systems of decision-making and compliance.
良心的自由 豆瓣
作者: (美)约翰·范泰尔 译者: 张大军 贵州大学出版社 2011
对于言论自由和信仰自由,几乎每天都有新的议题在共众传递,并且对美国宪法第一修正案内涵的关注从未减弱过,而这当中涉及的核心问题就是良心的自由。如果对于人类个人信念基础上的行动需要有限制,这种限制是怎样的?应该由谁来设定?良心该向谁负责?是制度?国家教会?还是唯独上帝?
本书追溯良心自由这个观念从帕金斯到麦迪逊及《权利法案》这段时期的演变过程。发源于英格兰的良心自由观念,之后在英国的北美殖民地开花结果,最终以美国宪法第一修正案的形式被制度化,在人类历史上奠定了信仰自由的原则。书中作者将注意力特别集中在帕金斯、罗杰•威廉姆斯、威斯敏斯特大会、殖民地政策,以及各州与联邦的法律上,向读者展示了良心自由的观念如何奠定了美国思想的基础,并在随后的岁月中广为传播。到20世纪,它所提倡的原则被《世界人权宣言》接纳,成为普世价值准则。

Convicting the Innocent 豆瓣
作者: Brandon L. Garrett Harvard University Press 2011 - 4
On January 20, 1984, Earl Washington--defended for all of forty minutes by a lawyer who had never tried a death penalty case--was found guilty of rape and murder in the state of Virginia and sentenced to death. After nine years on death row, DNA testing cast doubt on his conviction and saved his life. However, he spent another eight years in prison before more sophisticated DNA technology proved his innocence and convicted the guilty man. DNA exonerations have shattered confidence in the criminal justice system by exposing how often we have convicted the innocent and let the guilty walk free. In this unsettling in-depth analysis, Brandon Garrett examines what went wrong in the cases of the first 250 wrongfully convicted people to be exonerated by DNA testing. Based on trial transcripts, Garrett's investigation into the causes of wrongful convictions reveals larger patterns of incompetence, abuse, and error. Evidence corrupted by suggestive eyewitness procedures, coercive interrogations, unsound and unreliable forensics, shoddy investigative practices, cognitive bias, and poor lawyering illustrates the weaknesses built into our current criminal justice system. Garrett proposes practical reforms that rely more on documented, recorded, and audited evidence, and less on fallible human memory. Very few crimes committed in the United States involve biological evidence that can be tested using DNA. How many unjust convictions are there that we will never discover? Convicting the Innocent makes a powerful case for systemic reforms to improve the accuracy of all criminal cases.
作为法律史学家的狄更斯 豆瓣 Goodreads
Charles Dickens as a Legal Historian
作者: [英] 威廉·S. 霍尔兹沃斯 译者: 何帆 上海三联书店 2009 - 5
《作为法律史学家的狄更斯》内容为:查尔斯·狄更斯,这位享有盛誉的文豪,原来与法律世界有着不解之缘。从《双城记》、《远大前程》、《雾都孤儿》,到《匹克威克外传》、《大卫·科波菲尔》、《荒凉山庄》,他的每部作品中都有法律与法律人的踪影,更不乏对法律机构与司法制度的生动描述。就连资深律师都惊叹于他对法律行当的熟稔,人们忍不住追问,难道狄更斯与海涅、席勒、歌德、泰戈尔一样,是“从法学院逃出来的文学家”吗?
在这《作为法律史学家的狄更斯》里,英国法律史学大家威廉·S.霍尔兹沃思为人们解开了上述疑问。他围绕狄更斯的一系列文学作品,条分缕析,悉心梳理,为读者复原了狄更斯时代的法律图景,阐释当年的司法背景与庭审模式。无论是虚假保人、拘捕令、财产扣押令这些琐碎细节,还是贵族诱奸案、药店学徒过失杀人案、赌博诽谤案这些逸闻趣事,霍尔兹沃思都能如数家珍,娓娓道来,使得阅读《作为法律史学家的狄更斯》成为一段在文学、法律与历史之间穿行的愉悦经历。
