作为复合行政行为的城市规划

在合法的私有财产保护入宪和物权法实施后,城市规划的法律控制一直是学界广泛关注的课题。但由于对所编制的城市规划的法律性质认识的不一致则产生了不同的结论。本文借用行政法中的基本理论——行政行为,来分析城市规划的法律职能。本文先从抽象行政行为与具体行政行为开始辨析,认为城市规划是具有具体行为特征的抽象行政行为。如果从具体的行政行为来分析,城市规划则是一种兼有行政指导、行政给付、行政强制、行政征用等特性的复合行政行为。但城市规划的这些行为是"不成熟"或者是规制性的行政行为。对城市规划行政行为的分析,目的是能够有效地对城市规划进行法律控制。

Strategies for private practitioners coping with subpoenas or compelled testimony for client records or test data.

Psychologists have numerous ethical, professional, and legal obligations regarding the release of client records, test data, and other information in the legal context. The demands of the legal system sometimes conflict with psychologists' ethical obligations to maintain confidentiality of client records, to protect the integrity and security of test materials, and to avoid misuse of assessment techniques and data. This article identifies legal issues that may arise when private practitioners are faced with subpoenas or compelled court testimony for client records or test data and suggests strategies that might be considered in the event such a subpoena or demand is received.

Legal recognition of same-sex relationships in the United States: A social science perspective.

Whether and how civil society should recognize committed relationships between same-sex partners has become a prominent, often divisive, policy issue. The present article reviews relevant behavioral and social science research to assess the validity of key factual claims in this debate. The data indicate that same-sex and heterosexual relationships do not differ in their essential psychosocial dimensions; that a parent's sexual orientation is unrelated to her or his ability to provide a healthy and nurturing family environment; and that marriage bestows substantial psychological, social, and health benefits. It is concluded that same-sex couples and their children are likely to benefit in numerous ways from legal recognition of their families, and providing such recognition through marriage will bestow greater benefit than civil unions or domestic partnerships. Trends in public opinion toward greater support for legal recognition of same-sex couples are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

On the Ontological Status of Plans and Norms

This article describes an ontological model of norms. The basic assumption is that a substantial part of a legal system is grounded on the concept of agency. Since a legal system aims at regulating a society, then its goal can be achieved only by affecting the behaviour of the members of the society. We assume that a society is made up of agents (which can be individuals, institutions, software programs, etc.), that agents have beliefs, goals and preferences, and that they commit to intentions in order to choose a line of behaviour. The role of norms, within a legal system, is to specify how and when the chosen behaviour agrees with the basic principles of the legal system. In this article, we show how a model based on plans can be the basis for the ontological representation of norms, which are expressed as constraints on the possible plans an agent may choose to guide its behaviour. Moreover, the paper describes how the proposed model can be linked to the upper level of a philosophically well-founded ontology (DOLCE); in this way, the model is set in a wider perspective, which opens the way to further developments.     

AI and the Conquest of Complexity in Law

The paper identifies some of the problems with legal systems and outlines the potential of AI technology for overcoming them. For expository purposes, this outline is based on a simplified epistemology of the primary functions of law. Social and philosophical impediments from the side of the legal community to taking advantage of the potential of this technology are discussed and strategic recommendations are given. What is possible is not independent of what we believe to be possible. The possibilities of such developments in the practical world depends upon their being grasped imaginatively by the people who make the practical world work. Neil MacCormick (1993, p.18)
