Abstract

Melville et al. open this year’s Journal with a study of the effects of international mobility on the biographies of academics from Australian law schools. Looking at the career trajectories of 700 individual academics, a quarter had obtained their first degrees outside Australia and over a third obtained their highest qualification in elite schools outside before returning to work in Australia. Forty-one per cent had been employed overseas. Most of this experience was in the developed world. Some interesting findings show whether there is a career advantage to this mobility, and there is a discussion of the different gender possibilities for mobility. Pivaty et al. expose the skills gap which has appeared for European lawyers involved in criminal cases where they must now become involved from the earliest “interrogation”. At the same time, actual criminal trials are decreasing across Europe and decisions are made managerially at an earlier stage. Lawyers trained for the theatre of the courtroom find themselves unprepared for this shifting focus of criminal proceedings. Systems which have existed for some time in England and Wales are considered for the training of lawyers handling the investigative stage in countries across the rest of Europe. Barbero attempts to discover the purpose of lawyers working as public defenders for immigrant clients in Spain. The “migration industry” is described and the place of lawyers for immigrants within it. Despite poor pay, and sometimes no pay, the sense of working for a public cause and commitment to clients keeps immigration defence work in place. Shen asks whether women judges in China possess different values in deciding cases relating to women offenders. The difficulty of presenting a truly female or feminist approach in a patriarchal environment is noted and the need to develop more awareness of feminist views within the female Chinese judiciary. Male judges are assumed to be able to take the pressure of the work better and have closer political connections to power. Women offenders are seen as doubly deviant, breaking the law and patriarchal society’s code for female decency. Practical family issues such as the needs of children would not be taken into account. Feminist attitudes among women judges remain “latent and unactivated.” Mundy and Seuffert describe particular progress in a project among some law firms in New South Wales, Australia, for diversity and inclusion of women. Although this compares well with suggested best practice, it is yet to achieve significant change. Good reading

梅尔维尔等人在今年的期刊上发表了一篇关于国际流动对澳大利亚法学院学者传记影响的研究。从700名学者的职业轨迹来看,四分之一的人在澳大利亚以外获得了他们的第一个学位,超过三分之一的人在返回澳大利亚工作之前在国外的精英学校获得了最高学历。41%的人曾在海外工作。这种经历大多发生在发达国家。一些有趣的研究结果表明,这种流动性是否对职业有好处,并且对流动性的不同性别可能性进行了讨论。private等人揭露了欧洲律师在刑事案件中出现的技能差距,他们现在必须从最早的“审讯”开始就参与其中。与此同时,整个欧洲的实际刑事审判正在减少,决定在较早的阶段进行管理。受过法庭戏剧训练的律师发现,他们对刑事诉讼焦点的转变毫无准备。在英格兰和威尔士已经存在了一段时间的制度被认为是在欧洲其他国家培训处理调查阶段的律师。巴贝罗试图发现律师在西班牙为移民客户担任公设辩护人的目的。描述了“移民产业”以及移民律师在其中的地位。尽管工资很低,有时甚至没有工资,但为公共事业工作的感觉和对客户的承诺使移民辩护工作得以到位。沈问道,中国的女法官在判决涉及女性罪犯的案件时是否有不同的价值观。报告指出,在男权环境中,提出真正的女性主义或女权主义方法的困难,需要在中国女性司法机构中培养更多的女权主义观点意识。男性法官被认为能够更好地承受工作压力,并且与权力有更密切的政治联系。女性罪犯被视为双重变态,既违反了法律,也违反了父权社会对女性体面的规范。诸如儿童的需要等实际的家庭问题将得不到考虑。女法官中的女权主义态度仍然是“潜在的和未激活的”。Mundy和Seuffert描述了在澳大利亚新南威尔士州的一些律师事务所中开展的一个项目的具体进展,该项目旨在促进妇女的多样性和包容性。尽管这与建议的最佳实践相比还算不错,但它尚未实现重大改变。良好的阅读
