Judges occupy important roles in Rousseau’s constitutional theory. Placing the Social Contract alongside Rousseau’s lesser-known Letters Written from the Mountain and The Government of Poland, this article examines how Rousseau constructs judicial institutions and explores a problem he confronts. Although necessary for the republic to enjoy the rule of law, Rousseau worries that adjudicative bodies threaten the citizens’ freedom. This article describes Rousseau’s constitutional solution, which combines a conservative-yet-progressive legislative ethos, with pluralist institutionalism and judicial non-professionalism.
法官在卢梭的宪法理论中占有重要地位。本文将《社会契约》与卢梭鲜为人知的《从山上写的信》和《波兰政府》放在一起,考察卢梭如何构建司法制度,并探讨他所面临的一个问题。尽管共和国享有法治是必要的,但卢梭担心裁决机构会威胁公民的自由。本文描述了卢梭的宪法解决方案,它结合了保守而进步的立法精神、多元制度主义和司法非专业性。

The Necessity of Institutional Pluralism 制度多元化的必要性
IF 1.2 2区 社会学 Q1 LAW Pub Date : 2023-08-19 DOI: 10.1093/ojls/gqad018
Avihay Dorfman, Alon Harel
This article defends the claim that the institutional source of a legal norm—be it the constitution, legislation or whatever—affects its nature and value. We argue that institutions are not merely vessels through which norms get public recognition. When different institutions use identically worded norms, say, ‘everyone is equally entitled to X’, they may nevertheless produce different norms and provide different goods. For instance, a constitutional protection of a basic right differs from a statutory right to the same right not (only) because the former is less likely to be changed, but (also) because a constitutional decision marks the right in question as one that makes no essential reference to the actual choice of the majority of the political community. We extend this argument to other institutional settings, especially the common law tradition of judge-made law.
法律规范的制度来源——无论是宪法、立法还是其他什么——都会影响其性质和价值。我们认为,制度不仅仅是规范获得公众认可的载体。当不同的机构使用相同措辞的规范时,比如,“每个人都平等地有权得到X”,它们可能产生不同的规范,并提供不同的商品。例如,宪法对一项基本权利的保护不同于对同一权利的法定权利,不仅因为前者不太可能被改变,而且(也)因为宪法决定标志着有关权利没有必要参考大多数政治团体的实际选择。我们将这一论点扩展到其他制度设置,特别是普通法传统的法官制定法。

Law and Stock Market Development in the UK over Time: An Uneasy Match 英国长期以来的法律和股票市场发展:一种不稳定的匹配

Abstract Britain has a reputation for having a stock market-oriented corporate economy and there is an extensive literature maintaining that laws affording substantial protection to outside investors are needed for a thriving stock market. Historically, however, UK equity markets have not always flourished and, when they have, law’s contribution has been open to question. This article considers the uneasy match between law and Britain’s stock market development from when shares first began to trade publicly through to the present day, offering in so doing insights into the relationship between law and equity markets and current reforms intended to revive a flagging UK stock exchange.
英国以股票市场为导向的企业经济而闻名,有大量文献认为,为外部投资者提供实质性保护的法律是繁荣的股票市场所需要的。然而,从历史上看,英国股市并不总是繁荣,即使繁荣,法律的贡献也值得商榷。本文考虑了从股票首次公开交易到现在,法律与英国股票市场发展之间的不稳定匹配,从而提供了对法律与股票市场之间关系的见解,以及旨在重振萎靡不振的英国证券交易所的当前改革。

Against the Spirit of the Age: The Rationale of Relational Contracts 违背时代精神:关系契约的基本原理
IF 1.2 2区 社会学 Q1 LAW Pub Date : 2023-07-15 DOI: 10.1093/ojls/gqad016
P. Goodrich
In his long-awaited treatise on the relational theory of contracting, David Campbell provides a rigorous, systematic and consistently lucid account of mutual recognition as the basis of all volitional obligations. Fiercely negotiated economic transactions find their social expression in legally enforceable agreements that are to be followed scrupulously to the letter both by the parties and by the courts. This is because, in his view, mutual recognition, the co-operative economic enterprise, is memorialised in the legal instrument. Using the example of the emergent doctrine of good faith, this article argues that while such literalism proffers an admirably bright line for enforcement of agreements, it reduces the import and value of the relational theory of contract as an ethical and political accounting of market transactions. Literalism here is problematic not simply because of the inherent historicity and social diversity of language, but because in concepts such as good faith or reasonable interpretation, the purpose of the inscribed transaction has to be evaluated not only in terms of the plurality of the contract’s clauses, but also with a view to the overall shared intent of the exchange. For the relational theory of contract to have the impact that it merits, it needs to strengthen its account of how mutual recognition and the ethical and political dimensions of relationship best gain expression in the good-faith interpretation of the proximities manifest in agreement.
大卫·坎贝尔在他期待已久的关于契约关系理论的论文中,对作为所有意志义务基础的相互承认进行了严格、系统和一贯清晰的描述。经过激烈谈判的经济交易在法律上可执行的协议中得到了社会表达,双方和法院都应严格遵守这些协议。这是因为,在他看来,相互承认,即合作经济企业,在法律文书中被铭记。本文以新兴诚信原则为例,认为尽管这种字面主义为协议的执行提供了令人钦佩的光明前景,但它降低了合同关系理论作为市场交易的伦理和政治会计的重要性和价值。这里的字面主义之所以有问题,不仅是因为语言固有的历史性和社会多样性,还因为在善意或合理解释等概念中,不仅必须根据合同条款的多样性,而且还必须从交换的整体共同意图的角度来评估所刻交易的目的。为了使合同的关系理论产生应有的影响,它需要加强对相互承认以及关系的伦理和政治层面如何在对协议中表现出的接近性的善意解释中得到最佳表达的解释。

The Enigma of Interpersonal Justice in Private Law Theory 私法理论中的人际正义之谜

Z. Tan
The purpose of this article is to establish that contemporary private law theory has located no foolproof conception of interpersonal justice. I examine four accounts and find them wanting: the instrumentalist deterrence and loss-spreading approaches of economists; Kantian right and corrective justice; critical and social justice accounts; and the human flourishing approach. If my critiques are justified, this leaves us with the enigma of ‘interpersonal justice’. I consider three options going forward, rejecting the suggestion that we should abandon the search for a theoretical concept or be content with a modus vivendi. I sketch a third option, ‘emancipating interpersonal justice’, drawing from the resources of contractualist philosophy, to suggest that interpersonal justice is not a unitary concept or single regulative idea but a framework for determining what we owe each other in different spheres of interaction, and propose how this might illume certain questions of private law theory.
本文旨在确立当代私法理论对人与人之间的公正并没有一个万无一失的概念。我研究了四种说法,发现它们不足:经济学家的工具主义威慑和损失分摊方法;康德权利与矫正正义;批判和社会正义账户;以及人类繁荣的方法。如果我的批评是合理的,这就给我们留下了“人际公正”的谜。我考虑了未来的三种选择,拒绝接受我们应该放弃寻找理论概念或满足于权宜之计的建议。我借鉴契约主义哲学的资源,提出了第三种选择,即“解放人际正义”,认为人际正义不是一个统一的概念或单一的调节理念,而是一个确定我们在不同互动领域相互亏欠的框架,并提出了这将如何启发私法理论的某些问题。

Expressive Procedure 表达程序
IF 1.2 2区 社会学 Q1 LAW Pub Date : 2023-07-03 DOI: 10.1093/ojls/gqad013
Rabeea Assy
This article explores the expressive dimension of procedural law, arguing that some procedural rules can be usefully understood as instruments of expression: they can express, or be employed to express, values, preferences and attitudes—independently of the economic incentives such rules create and regardless of the specific substantive law that governs the dispute. This is illustrated through two case studies that demonstrate how expressive considerations can underlie procedural rules, court decisions in relation to procedural matters and procedural choices that litigants make. The first is the requirement that litigants conduct civil proceedings in a diligent, honest and otherwise appropriate manner, which operates in part as an expressive norm, allowing courts to impose procedural sanctions as a way to condemn litigants’ behaviour. The second case study is the right to self-representation, which has been used by litigants in certain contexts as an act of protest against the legitimacy of the proceedings.
本文探讨了程序法的表达维度,认为一些程序规则可以被有效地理解为表达的工具:它们可以表达或被用来表达价值观、偏好和态度——独立于这些规则所创造的经济激励,也不考虑管辖争议的具体实体法。这是通过两个案例研究来说明的,这两个案例研究表明,表达性考虑如何成为程序规则、与程序事项有关的法院判决和诉讼当事人作出的程序选择的基础。第一个是要求诉讼当事人以勤勉、诚实和其他适当的方式进行民事诉讼,这在一定程度上是一种表达性规范,允许法院施加程序制裁,作为谴责诉讼当事人行为的一种方式。第二个案例研究是自我辩护的权利,诉讼当事人在某些情况下使用这一权利作为对诉讼合法性的抗议行为。

Catalytic Climate Litigation: Rights and Statutes 催化气候诉讼:权利和法规

Sam Bookman
Rights-based climate litigation has captured the global legal imagination in part because of its aspiration to achieve a certain function: catalysing political and policy processes into more ambitious climate action across the entire government apparatus. But many jurisdictions lack the legal opportunity structure that allows rights to perform this function. Instead, litigants might look to framework statutes as a way to trigger climate catalysis through litigation. Legal and mobilisation strategies drawing on both rights and framework statutes could prove an effective approach in future litigation.
以权利为基础的气候诉讼吸引了全球法律界的想象力,部分原因是它渴望实现某种功能:在整个政府机构中催化政治和政策进程,使其成为更雄心勃勃的气候行动。但许多司法管辖区缺乏允许权利履行这一职能的法律机会结构。相反,诉讼当事人可能会将框架法规视为通过诉讼触发气候催化的一种方式。利用权利和框架法规的法律和动员战略可以证明是今后诉讼的有效办法。

Unbundling Property in Welfare 分拆福利财产
IF 1.2 2区 社会学 Q1 LAW Pub Date : 2023-06-10 DOI: 10.1093/ojls/gqad012
Yael Cohen-Rimer, Shai Stern
In most Western jurisdictions, welfare law utilises means testing to determine whether individuals are eligible for welfare allowances, often using property ownership as one of the eligibility criteria. Crucially, the prevailing conception of property ownership is premised on the notion that property rights are applied equally to all owners in matters relating to the control and management of that property. When this assumption proves not to reflect reality, it can have devastating consequences for those most in need of the support ostensibly provided by welfare law. The present qualitative empirical study examines two cases in which such adverse consequences are felt: in the two largest minority communities in Israel—the Palestinians and the Ultraorthodox Jews (Charedi). The findings show that property ownership in these communities is realised hierarchically, along patriarchal lines, and that family members occupy and manage property in accordance with community customs and traditional norms, often far removed from state laws. Beyond theoretical debates or ethnographic observations, the discrepancies between the state’s ideas of ownership and those recognised by members of the Palestinian and Charedi communities in Israel often result in the denial of financial aid to those who need it most. This article will identify such differences in conception and will describe how they provide an additional explanation for the high levels of poverty in minority communities. Finally, it will examine two private law doctrines that can be used as inspiration to better interpret welfare law and make it more nuanced and culturally sensitive, especially when it encounters people in poverty and marginalised groups.
在大多数西方司法管辖区,福利法利用经济状况调查来确定个人是否有资格获得福利津贴,通常使用财产所有权作为资格标准之一。至关重要的是,普遍存在的财产所有权概念的前提是,在有关控制和管理该财产的事项上,财产权利平等地适用于所有所有者。当这种假设被证明与现实不符时,对于那些最需要福利法律表面上提供的支持的人来说,它可能会带来毁灭性的后果。目前的定性实证研究考察了两个可以感受到这种不利后果的案例:在以色列的两个最大的少数民族社区-巴勒斯坦人和极端正统犹太人(Charedi)。研究结果表明,这些社区的财产所有权是按等级制度实现的,沿着父权路线,家庭成员根据社区习俗和传统规范占有和管理财产,往往远离国家法律。除了理论辩论或人种学观察之外,国家对所有权的看法与以色列巴勒斯坦人和查雷迪社区成员所认可的观点之间的差异,往往导致最需要的人得不到经济援助。本文将确定这些概念上的差异,并将描述它们如何为少数民族社区的高度贫困提供额外的解释。最后,它将研究两种私法理论,这些理论可以作为更好地解释福利法的灵感,使其更加细致入微和文化敏感,特别是当它遇到贫困人口和边缘化群体时。

The Logic and Value of the Presumption of Doli Incapax (Failing That, an Incapacity Defence). Doli Incapax推定的逻辑和价值(如果失败,则为无行为能力辩护)。

Children who do not understand the serious wrongness of their actions lack criminal capacity and cannot be convicted. At common law, children under seven are deemed to lack criminal capacity, children over 14 possess full capacity and children between seven and 14 are rebuttably presumed to lack capacity; the prosecution must prove capacity beyond reasonable doubt. Australia has increased the minimum age of criminal responsibility (MACR) to 10 and is considering a further increase. England & Wales and Northern Ireland have raised the MACR to 10 but have abolished the rebuttable presumption: at age 10, all children are assigned full criminal capacity. This article agrees with international calls for the MACR to be raised but argues that it is more important that the rebuttable presumption should be retained and extended. Children's brains and decision-making capacities continue to develop throughout their teenage years at different rates. The rebuttable presumption provides individualised justice for children facing developmental difficulties. To wrongfully convict a child who lacks capacity will unjustly damage their life chances. Where a child does have capacity, a variety of evidence may be available to the prosecution to prove it. If the prosecution fails to discharge the burden, the child should be acquitted. The acquittal may be mistaken, but this error is far less harmful than a wrongful conviction.

不了解自己行为的严重不法性的儿童缺乏犯罪能力,不能被定罪。根据普通法,7岁以下的儿童被视为缺乏刑事行为能力,14岁以上的儿童具有完全行为能力,7至14岁的儿童被可反驳地推定为缺乏行为能力;检方必须证明无合理怀疑的能力。澳大利亚已将最低刑事责任年龄提高到10岁,并正在考虑进一步提高。英格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰已将MACR提高到10,但废除了可反驳的推定:所有儿童在10岁时都被赋予完全刑事行为能力。这篇文章同意国际上提出MACR的呼吁,但认为更重要的是,应保留和扩大可反驳的推定。儿童的大脑和决策能力在青少年时期继续以不同的速度发展。可反驳的推定为面临发展困难的儿童提供了个性化的正义。对一个缺乏行为能力的孩子错误地定罪,将不公正地损害他们的生活机会。如果儿童确实有行为能力,检方可能会提供各种证据来证明这一点。如果检方未能履行责任,则应宣布儿童无罪。无罪释放可能是错误的,但这种错误的危害远小于错误定罪。

The acquittal may be mistaken, but this error is far less harmful than a wrongful conviction.</p>","PeriodicalId":47225,"journal":{"name":"Oxford Journal of Legal Studies","volume":"43 3","pages":"546-573"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10550278/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41162913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review article offers a critical analysis of Horst Eidenmüller and Gerhard Wagner’s Law by Algorithm by focusing on four major sets of issues that are covered in this important work: (i) separate legal personality for artificial intelligence (AI) systems; (ii) the exploitation and protection of consumers; (iii) liability; and (iv) online dispute resolution. On separate legal personality, it is shown that neither unbundled products nor difficulties in proving that the systems resulted in damage or losses necessarily justify giving legal personality to AI systems. On consumer protection, it is argued that exploitation of consumers can be regulated by consumer protection legislation provided that reforms are made to remove enforcement hurdles. On liability, the issues arising from product liability legislation and problems associated with proving causation are critically examined. On online dispute resolution, smart contracts and self-driving contracts are distinguished, and a distinction is drawn between AI-assisted and AI-substitutionary adjudication.
这篇综述文章通过关注这项重要工作中涉及的四个主要问题,对Horst Eidenmüller和Gerhard Wagner的算法定律进行了批判性分析:(i)人工智能系统的独立法人资格;(ii)剥削和保护消费者;(iii)法律责任;四在线解决争端。关于单独的法人资格,研究表明,无论是未捆绑的产品,还是难以证明系统造成了损害或损失,都不一定证明赋予人工智能系统法人资格是合理的。关于消费者保护,有人认为,只要进行改革以消除执法障碍,对消费者的剥削可以通过消费者保护立法加以监管。关于责任,对产品责任立法产生的问题以及与证明因果关系有关的问题进行了严格审查。在在线纠纷解决方面,区分了智能合约和自动驾驶合约,并区分了人工智能辅助裁决和人工智能替代裁决。
