Description

在《眾裏尋她:公義在香港》,陳文敏教授通過其個人經驗和重要案例,探討香港法律制度的核心價值。本書解釋和釐清了一些有關香港法律的常見問題。例如大律師如何為有罪的人作辯護?法律偏袒於有財有勢的人嗎?我們是否在任何情況下皆要遵守法律?在人權與國家安全互相抵觸的情況下,兩者該如何取得平衡?公平又如何與行政效能協調?我們可以因自由被濫用而否定它嗎?陳教授在書中亦會談及法律專業和專業精神,並指出法律專業備受尊崇在於律師嚴格堅持其專業操守,並致力於維護公義與公平。 本書所談及的案例涵蓋不同的法律範疇,並橫跨陳教授數十年的執業經歷。通過這些真實案例,陳教授不但令讀者更明白香港的法律制度如何運作,亦讓讀者更深入地考量法律體制、法律專業、正義在現代社會的角色和法治的重要性。 陳文敏為香港大學法律學院公法講座教授暨前院長(2002–2014),專研憲法、行政法和人權法,著作甚豐。他於2003年成為香港首位名譽資深大律師。2018年出版Paths of Justice 一書,為本書的英文版本。2020年以《正道、大學:寫在風雨之後》一書獲第13屆香港書獎。 「本書詳述了許多不同範疇的法律問題,提出了在閱讀相關法庭判決時難以領略的觀點。筆者也將抽象的法律原則以他的人生體驗深刻地人性化。」 ──梁定邦,QC,SC,JP,曾任高等法院暫委大法官 「本書透過說故事的形式探討法律問題,使讀者易於理解。書中的生動活潑法律場景,展現了不少備受尊崇的大律師的故事和香港法律的重要變遷。」 ──吳靄儀,大律師,前香港立法會議員

  • 多元法律在地匯合(台灣史論叢 法律篇)
    By 王泰升, 鄭維中, 曾文亮

    位處多方勢力交集的台灣,承受多股法律文明洗禮。原住民族於17世紀先遭逢歐洲的荷蘭法律,漢人移民接著引進東亞漢字文化圈法律傳統,19世紀末新興海權日本,帶入源自近代西方的憲政體制、刑事法律、財產法制,乃至親屬繼承法制。戰後改行民國時代中國的法律,但1949年起作為事實上國家,自主繼受歐美法律學說及制度,並於1990年代民主化後,形成當今法秩序。本書依上述歷史脈絡收錄10篇論文,以顯現政權或國家的變動,如何主宰台灣的法律規範內涵,以及制法與執法階層的文化屬性,最終多元鑲嵌成當今台灣人法律生活。期待讀者將本書就特定議題、特定時代所為較細緻的論辯,置於整個台灣法律史的框架內,進而從各種視角,提出更多具有洞見的學術論述。
