Initiatives and Referenda in Wyoming

SUMMARY

Researching initiatives and referenda in Wyoming is fascinating, partly because Wyoming was one of the first states to consider the option of initiatives for its citizens. This makes for an interesting history. Wyoming is also unique in that it has the most stringent initiative requirements in the country, which makes for an elaborate and rigid process. The result is a limited number of successful ballot measures and a collection of honest attempts. Fortunately, researching Wyoming initiatives and referenda is not as difficult as getting them passed. An annotated bibliography is included with helpful Wyoming-specific resources.     

元代法律史研究几个重要问题评析（2000-2011）

2000年以来元朝法律史研究取得了显著的成绩。元朝法律史在研究上领域扩张,内容上更加深入。2000年以来,元朝法律研究主要在法律史料的发掘与整理、法律中民族风俗习惯因素的分析、元杂剧体现出的法律文化、民事法律制度的内容、刑罚制度的问题、司法制度的具体运行情况和元代法律体系的结构与某类法律形式内涵问题等展开了研究。此外,还有对元朝一些具体法律制度与问题进行研究,如警迹人、盐法和版权保护。     

创新与重构：卓越法律人才培养模式研究

＂卓越法律人才教育培养计划＂是针对我国现行法律人才培养模式存在的弊端而提出的。卓越法律人才教育培养模式的构建应当从以下几个方面入手：革新＂五重五轻＂的观念,向重视法律应用能力的卓越教育培养理念转变;优化法律人才培养方案,形成高校与实务部门共同制定培养目标、设计课程体系、开发优质教材、组织教学团队、建设实践基地的＂五个梯次＂人才培养格局;强化法学实践教学环节,构建以两个＂基地＂、四个＂平台＂和八个＂专训＂为内容的＂248＂实践性课程教学体系;重构实践教学评价体系,形成教师对学生的评价、高校对教师的评价、实务部门对高校的评价、实务部门对学生的评价所组成的＂四方评价＂闭环系统。     

“立法”立场的法律发现——以历史法学为切入点

在对法律发现的理解上,主要有两种观点:一是从法的起源角度,另外是从法的适用的角度。目前,学界则更多是从司法视角去透视法律发现理论,立法立场的法律发现观鲜有提及。以历史法学为切入点,剖析立法立场的法律发现观的产生背景、观点及其影响,期待对该理论有个"全景式"理解。     

运动员生物识别信息双维保护模式之形塑

现代生物科技广泛应用于体育赛事,使运动员生物识别信息更容易被收集、存储和共享,其遭遇的风险也呈现泛在化。生物识别信息有别于一般个人信息,其生成与信息主体的人身性息息相关,具有极强的人格属性,一旦被侵犯将难以补救并永久持续,急需法律予以特殊保护。为此,有必要综合法益维度和时间维度形塑运动员生物识别信息的双维保护模式：在法益维度上,明确运动员生物识别信息的法益属性,建构以体育法益为方向的保护格局;在时间维度上,以处理运动员生物识别信息的不同阶段为着力点,以教义学方法论贯通现有法律体系,从而实现各阶段的精准规制。通过法益维度和时间维度的纵横定位,构建运动员生物识别信息的全方位保护模式。     

Freeing the Mind of the Oppressed

This article examines the evidence that supports and rebuts the claims of school resegregation. By examining both types of evidence and considering them complementary (James 1986 James, F. 1986. A new generalized “exposure-based” segregation index: Demonstration in Denver and Houston. Sociological Methods and Research, 14(3): 301–16. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]; Kelly and Miller 1989 Kelly, P. and Miller, W. 1989. Assessing desegregation efforts: No “best measure.”. Public Administration Review, 49(5): 431–37. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]), the author gives the reader a deeper understanding of the current trends in school segregation. First, the literature on the topic of school segregation is discussed. Then follows a discussion of the methods used in the study and the findings. The conclusion includes implications of the findings.     

The Urban Bridge is a symbol

Response to Intervention (RtI) is a general education initiative that takes place prior to evaluation for placement in special education. Essentially, the first two tiers of RtI require general education teachers to use research-based instruction with all students and then to evaluate the effectiveness of that instruction. Given that the use of RtI as an assessment tool begins in the general education classroom, the following question remains: Are general educators aware of the development and implementation of RtI as a process for assessing and, eventually, possibly placing students into special education? The purpose of this study was to review the literature to answer the following two questions:

1. To what extent is RtI evident in the professional literature of educator groups (teachers, administrators, and teacher educators) who will be responsible for implementing these school practices?

2. What is the nature of the published literature (concept papers, assessment practices, instructional practices, and research) on RtI?

     

论法律多元与我国体育法治建设

我国的体育法治建设是一个复杂的系统工程,从法律多元的角度看,既有国家外的法律多元,包括国际体育组织;又有国家内部法律的多元性,包括大陆法、香港法和澳门法三个不同的法域以及非国家法(体育行业规则)等。法律多元带来了法律冲突,解决法律冲突问题,应该坚持国家法律至上原则,同时确立法律多元精神,在此前提下,不断进行法制创新,以达到体育多元秩序的和谐。     

论作为国家法治基础的公民法律信仰建设

公民的法律信仰是一个国家法治建设的基础.在我国这样一个缺乏法治传统的国家里要形成普遍的公民法律信仰,除了要完善法治建设以外,还需要坚持以人为本的原则,大力加强法治文化建设,创造严格遵守法律的社会文化氛围,通过不断推进法活文化建设、严格限制公权等措施促成公民养成对法律的信仰.
