初赛试题

试题一:(合同法与侵权法)

Contracts also generate general duties of care in dealing with the rights, objects of legal protection and legally protected interests of the contractual partners. Such “collateral” obligations do not normally have a ny relation to the content of the respective “primary” performance obligation and can therefore in principle become significant in every type of contract. The more ambitious a legal system is in the development of such contractual collateral obligations for the protection of interests already existing independent from the direct performance expectations formed by the contract, the more practical weight is given to the respective concurrence of actions rules, which give details of the relationship of contractual liability with parallel tortuous liability. The narrower the scope of contractual duties is, the narrower the overlaps with the area of application of tort law turn out to be. The consequence is in turn, that the area of application of the respective legal principles governing concurrence of actions becomes narrower. A concurrence of actions rule which grants in principle contractual liability priority of application over tortuous liability, has to keep the area of contractual liability narrow in the interest of protecting the victim, if tort law is more favorable to an injured party in an individual case than contract law.

试题二:(财产法)

Subject to the provisions of the Declaration and other provisions of law, a unit owner:

(1) may make any improvements or alterations to his unit that do not impair the structural integrity or mechanical systems or lessen the support of any portion of the common interest community;

(2) may not change the appearance of the common elements, or the exterior appearance of a unit or any other portion of the common interest community, without permission of the Unit Owners Association (hereinafter called “Association”);

(3) after acquiring an adjoining unit or an adjoining part of an adjoining unit, may remove or alter any intervening partition or create apertures therein, even if the partition in whole or in part is a common element, if those acts do not impair the structural integrity or mechanical systems or lessen the support of any portion of the common interest community. Removal of partitions or creation of apertures under this paragraph is not an alteration of boundaries;

(4) may subdivide a unit into two or more units. Subject to the provisions of law, upon application of a unit owner to subdivide a unit, the Association shall prepare, execute, and record an amendment to the Declaration;

(5) The amendment to the Declaration must be executed by the owner of the unit to be subdivided, assign an identifying number to each unit created, and reallocate the allocated interests formerly allocated to the subdivided unit to the new units in any reasonable manner prescribed by the owner of the subdivided unit.

试题三:(法律史)

For much of our history, the United States was not a lender but a borrower of law. The United States is a common-law system; and the common law was, in its origins, essentially English. In the first part of the nineteenth century, American courts looked to English law for inspiration, to English jurists and treatise writers. Case law was peppered with citations of English cases. Notable scholar-judges, like James Kent and Joseph Story, also read, absorbed, and tried to import into American law key aspects and insights of European legal thought. The British influence declined throughout the nineteenth century; and in the twentieth century it was all but dead. American cases rarely cite foreign materials. Courts occasionally cite a British classic or two, a famous old case, or

a nod to Blackstone; but current British law almost never gets any mention. In the twentieth century German philosophy had some residual influence; and Karl Lewellyn, for one, absorbed a good deal of German legal culture. It is fair to say, however, that American lawyers and jurists have been, on the whole, extremely parochial. At some crucial points, scholars and states people did look abroad. English law influenced the shape of the workers’ compensation statutes; key phrases were lifted almost verbatim from the English act. The English act, in turn owed something to legislation adopted earlier in Bismarck’s Germany. The English Companies Law of 1929 and a Securities Act of 1933 were real influences on the text of the Securities and Exchange Act. Commercial statutes similarly were indebted to British models.

试题四:(公司法与国际经济法)

(i) In general. The Department of Commerce (hereinafter called “Department”) normally will attribute a subsidy to the products produced by the corporation that received the subsidy.

(ii) Corporations producing the same product. If two (or more) corporations with cross-ownership produce the subject merchandise, the Department will attribute the subsidies received by either or both corporations to the products produced by both corporations.

(iii) Holding or parent companies. If the firm that received a subsidy is a holding company, including a parent company with its own operations, the Department will attribute the subsidy to the consolidated sales of the holding company and its subsidiaries. However, if the Department finds that the holding company merely served as a conduit for the transfer of the subsidy from the government to a subsidiary of the holding company, the Secretary will attribute the subsidy to products sold by the subsidiary.

(iv) Input suppliers. If there is cross-ownership between an input supplier and a downstream producer, and production of the input product is primarily dedicated to production of the downstream product, the Department will

attribute subsidies received by the input producer to the combined sales of the input and downstream products produced by both corporations (excluding the sales between the two corporations).

(v) Transfer of subsidy between corporations with cross-ownership producing different products. In situations where paragraphs (b)(6)(i) through (iv) of this section do not apply, if a corporation producing non-subject merchandise received a subsidy and transferred the subsidy to a corporation with cross-ownership, the Department will attribute the subsidy to products sold by the recipient of the transferred subsidy.

(vi)Cross-ownership defined. Cross-ownership exists between two or more corporations where one corporation can use or direct the individual assets of the other corporation(s) in essentially the same ways it can use its own assets. Normally, this standard will be met where there is a majority voting ownership interest between two corporations or through common ownership of two (or more) corporations.

法律英语学习方法

法律英语学习的层次与材料简介来源:胡敏的日志 接触法律方面的英语已数年,从漫无目的信手乱翻,到上法律英语课,再到上英语的法律课程,到现在的用英语进行法律方面的工作,走了很多弯路,也积攒了点滴经验体会。看版面上相关的讨论,觉得还可以更体系化,总结几点,和各位切磋。 学习法律英语,不能仅以会读、会写几个词汇就觉得万事大吉,要清楚自己的目标、学习的层次,循序渐进,渐次登堂入室。根据不同的层次,大致可分一下几个类型: 1. 入门搭框型:了解法律英语的基本词汇、语用同时西方法律、司法基本体系构架,即Mr.何家弘的“一石二鸟”。 可以学习下何家弘的《法律英语》(法律出版社,2003 第二版,好像已有配套翻译)。这种书要精读。试着自己动手翻译一遍,事半功倍。基础好同学可以接着读一点,英国人或美国人专门给外国人学法律英语的书,如《English Law and Language》(Cassell 出版)。 2. 专业型拓展型:拓展下自己的专业或者自己喜欢的领域。建议通读一本相关领域的简明教材,例如blackstone,nutshell系列的都不错的。另外,以熟悉的领域为核心,是提高英语的水平的有效捷径。 3. 比较参考型:即研究某个课题外国是否有相同的法律规定、案例规则等。学会泛读,把握主旨。以精读课的方式来读,反而会让自己陷入生词、查词旋涡。类似方面的,可以读一些案例。例如:https://https://www.wendangku.net/doc/0c3580904.html,数据库大学校园网通常能已经由学校付费,学生可以免费使用。 (附:《https://www.wendangku.net/doc/0c3580904.html,数据库》是面向法律专业人员设计的,拥有11400多个数据资料库以及31500多项资料来源,特别是在法律事务方面,是收录最全的法律资源库之一。包含了LexisNexis中全部法律内容,也包含了商业、金融、政治、时事等方面的内容,主要是全球范围内(如英国、加拿大、澳大利亚、新加坡、马来西亚、中国内地、香港等)法律案例、法律法规条文、国家法、国际条约和协议、知识产权等,使用的对象为律师、大学法学院、法律咨询公司、司法官员等。) 4. 日常应用型:即与法律有关的日常业务中,处理涉外信函。注意学习一些商务信函的知识和相关领域的常用词汇、句型、格式。推荐《国际商务写作教程》(王素清,对外经贸大学出版社)。日常应用的专业词汇、句型跟法律英语教材、案例书籍、法条等的具有很大差别,这是新手一定要注意的。多阅读些此前的卷宗,虚心学习,不怕修改,三几个月就能顺手了。 5. 专业应用型:即出具外语法律文书、法律建议,如合同等。最保险的还是找一些类似的格式文书照搬过来,格式文书在网上能够搜索的到,或者参考此前业务成文。 6. 翻译通才型:即从事涉及法律内容的材料翻译。多读、多练、功夫在诗外。中英文方面的法律书都通读些,一些基本的简明教程即可。另外,还应当以法律为中心,多关注关联的知识

法律英语翻译技巧(二)法学语言与法学语言翻译 例1:The law holds that the individual is responsible for his acts. The law also indicates what is good and right, and what may and should be done. It also indicates what is evil and wrong, and should not and may not be done. The law further holds that what is evil and wrong is a crime and may not be done, and if done, renders the doer liable to punishment. The law also recognizes the principle that man has free will and that, with certain exceptions, he exercises free will in commission of any crime that he may commit. 译文1:法律认为公民应对自己的行为负责。法律还规定什么是美好的和正确的,规范了哪些事是允许做或应该做的。同样,法律规范了什么是邪恶的和错误的。法律还进一步明确规定哪些邪恶的错误的事是不能做的犯罪行为看,如果某人做了这样的事,那么该行为就要受到惩罚。同样,法律还承认这样一个原则,每个公民除犯罪自由外都具有自由意志,如果某人在各种违法活动中实施其自由意志,那么他就可能触犯法律。 译文2:法律规定人人应对自己的行为承担责任,分清善良和正义,规范了人们的行为准则;法律还认为,作孽枉法即是犯罪,法不可恕,

法律英语翻译练习与答案-0609

练习1:外国合营者如果有意以落后的技术和设备进行欺骗,造成损失的,应赔偿损失。If the foreign joint venturer causes any losses by deception through the intentional use of backward technology and equipment, it shall pay compensation for the losses. 修改提示:单复数考虑不周;用语不够简洁。 答案(修改要点):causes any losses →causes any loss(es) 造成一项或多项损失时都应当赔偿,不能仅用复数形式。 pay compensation for the losses →pay compensation therefor (therefor=for that/them) 练习2:人民法院、人民检察院和公安机关办理刑事案件,应当分工负责,互相配合,互相制约,以保证准确有效地执行法律。 原译文:The people’s courts, people’s procuratorates and public s ecurity organs shall, in handling criminal cases, divide their functions, each taking responsibility for its own work, and they shall co-ordinate their efforts and check each other to ensure correct and effective enforcement of law. 修改提示:“分工负责”,应理解为:侧重点在“负责”,而非“分工”,即分工过程中各负其责;respective 比own 更为妥当、准确;原来的译文中,and they shall …比较啰嗦,更严重的问题是,使to ensure …割断了与divide their functions 的联系。 答案(修改要点):in handling criminal cases, divide their functions, each taking responsibility for its own work, and they shall co-ordinate their efforts and check each other to ensure correct and effective enforcement of law.→… in handling criminal cases, take responsibility for their respective work while dividing functions, co-ordinate, and check each other, to ensure correct and effective enforcement of law. 练习3:商标注册人享有商标专用权,受法律保护。 原译文:Trademark registrants shall enjoy the right to exclusive use of their trademarks and shall be protected by law. 修改提示:商标专用权的译文“貌合神离”,立法原意是“商标专有权”;受法律保护的主语有些歧义,可加括号处理;原文shall滥用,因为并未刻意强调“必须,一定要”。 答案(修改为):Trademark registrants have the exclusive trademark right, (and are) protected by law. 练习4:被告人的犯罪情节极其严重、社会影响极其恶劣、社会危害极其严重。 原译文:The extremely serious circumstances of the offense committed by the accused have brought abominable influence and severe hazard to the whole society. 修改提示:bring的用法有些生硬,动宾搭配不太适当。 答案(修改为):have brought abominable influence and severe hazard to the whole society. → have exerted an abominable influence and posed a severe hazard to society. (exert, vt. 施加,产生,如exert pressure on, exert an influence on; abominable, adj. 可恶的,极坏的;pose v. 提出,形成,成为;使摆好姿势pose a problem; pose an obstacle/a threat to …) 练习5:买卖双方同意按下列条款由卖方出售,买方购进下列货物:货号; 品名及规格;数量;单价;总值(数量及总值均有_____%的增减, 由卖方决定);生产国和制造厂家;包装;唛头;装运期限;装运口岸;目的口岸;保险;

法律英语书名

书名: 1.《合同法》和《公司法》的英文翻译打码QQ群:54493069 2.孙万彪:《英汉法律翻译教程》和《汉英法律翻译教程》 3.《法律翻译-从实践出发》 4.李克兴:《法律翻译理论与实践》 5.陈忠诚:《法窗译话》 入门级: 1、孙万彪的《英汉法律翻译教程》和《汉英法律翻译教程》,涉及的内容都是最基本的,书写得比较严谨,孙老师应该是语言专业出身,对一些词(比如说threatened )的处理比较好。 2、中文版的《合同法》和《公司法》以及英文版的《合同法》和《公司法》,中文版的不必管哪个出版社的,想来都差不多。英文版的至少有两个版本,我在书店里见过,但现有手头没有,也不方便找。 3、《2000年国际贸易术语解释通则》,有中英文对照版,算是做得比较精致的一本书。这本书不厚,但可以让你明白好的翻译作品应该是什么样的。 4、香港的双语资料库,至少可以利用一下香港联合交易所的双语《上市规则》。香港的词法和句法与大陆有所不同,但值得借鉴。 中级篇: 1、《法律文本与法律翻译》,作者之一是李克兴,他最近还写了一本书,也不错,可以看看。书名记不得了,但如果你在百度搜索栏敲入“李克兴”、“法律翻译”,逐页翻页,应该可以找到。 2、《法律翻译-从实践出发》,这本书有多名作者,既有宏观的论述,又有微观的剖析,作者基本上都是圈内高人。 3、《美国1933年证券法》和《美国1934年证券交易法》,著名的两部美国法律,主译是张路老师,这一系列的书还有,与律所的实战翻译风格比较接近。 4、利用互联网,直接查阅相关法律,如美国的《特拉华州普通公司法》。至于具体查阅哪部法律,看个人的兴趣。每本书后面都有参考书目,可以利用这个作为线索。 高级篇 1、《国际商法教学案例英文选编》,对外经济贸易大学考研用的“灰皮书”,不知现在是不是这样?先读懂这本书,加深对法律知识的了解。 2、《英美商事组织法》,对外经济贸易大学丁丁老师著,同一系列的书还有很多。 3、陈忠诚老师的《词语翻译漫谈》及其续篇、《法窗译话》以及相关的词语翻译书,加强“炼字”功夫。

法律英语翻译

Legal English (revised version for the students) Ch.1 The Main Features of Legal English 一、法律英语的英译: David Mellinkoff(加州大学洛杉矶分校法学院教授):《The Language of the Law》1963 1.legal English---Lawful English Legal parlance(说法、用语)/legal lingo(行话、隐语)/legal jargon(行话、黑话)/legalese( 法律八股文)/language of jurisprudence(法理语言) 2. the English Language of the Law or shortened as “the language of the law” 3. 法律英语与法学英语 二、法律英语的范围: 是否凡是涉及法律的英语(词汇、表达方法、句子结构……)都是法律英语? 英美法学界所公认的法律英语主要是指普通法国家(common-law countries)的法律人所用的习惯语言(customary language),包括某些词汇、短语,或具有特色的一些表达方法(mode of expressions)。 三、法律英语的主要特点: I. precise or exact (准确) 正常情况下,起草法律文件时,用词造句务必十分精准(with great exactness),因为一旦笔者的思想、观点、企图落实成文字,即成为法庭判断是非的重要依据,因为按严格解释原则(principle of strict construction)或唯名论原则(principle of nominalism),尽管实践中还存在推测意图原则(principle of presumed intent),但其不占主导地位,书面文字仍然是法官解释法律文件的唯一依据。 实务中鉴于对法律文件中文字的理解不一,也是常有纠纷出现: e.g. The Charter required that directors “shall be elected on a vote of the stockholders representing not less than two-thirds of outstanding capital st ock of the corporation.” 甲方理解成:被选上董事的人需三分之二的股东投票赞成(a candidate to be elected needs the votes of two-thirds of the stockholders ) 乙方则认为:选董事时须有三分之二的股东出席(two-thirds of the stockholders must be present at the meeting at which the election is held) What’s the judge’s opinion? e.g. 一个阿肯色州的美国人临终前写了一个遗嘱,遗嘱写道: The remainder of the testator’s property should be “divided equally between all of our nephews and nieces on my wife’s side and my niece.” 问题出在对“between”一词的理解上。立遗嘱人妻子一边的外甥和外甥女加在一起共有22个。这句话是指立遗嘱人的遗产的一半归其妻子方的22个外甥和外甥女,另一半归其本人一方的外甥女?还是指将遗产在双方的外甥外甥女中平均分配呢? 为达准确之目的,常使用下列招法: 1. 使用专门术语(下文有述) 2. 重复使用具有绝对含义的词汇,如all , none, perpetuity, never, unavoidable; 3. 使用具有绝对限制含义的短语:

This is what our life will be like in the future. 【解析】 【分析】 本大题为根据括号内的要求把汉语句子翻译成英语。翻译时尽可能地精确,按照要求翻译还要注意某些特殊的语法项目。如倒装句式等。 1.考查倒装句式。本大题要求用only+状语从句来翻译。Only+状语从句置于句首,主句要部分倒装。因此本句要翻译成部分倒装。同时要注意运用短语如肢体语言可译成“body languages”,与某人交流可译为“ communicate with”。因此本句可译为Only when we have mastered the different body languages can we communicate well with them。 2.考查由what引导的名词从句。分析句子可知,本句是一个表语从句,表语从句中的介词like缺少宾语,可用what引导。因此本句可译为:This is what our life will be like in the future. 2.高中英语翻译题:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 1.熬夜大大影响健康。(affect) _________________________ 2.等他明年回来,这个体育馆就建好了。(by the time) _________________________ 3.从长远来看,你的知识面越广,就越有能力应付工作中的问题。(capable) _________________________ 4.据信,过分溺爱孩子会不知不觉地造成孩子的坏脾气,甚至缺乏自理能力。(It) _________________________ 【答案】 1.Staying up late affects one’s health greatly. 2.By the time he comes back next year, the stadium will have been set up. 3.In the long run, the wider range of knowledge you have, the more capable you are of dealing

法律英语翻译

世界贸易组织 在国际贸易法当中,有两大永恒的主题,这便是保护本国产业免受外国竞争者的伤害和鼓励国际贸易。近年来,由于对进口贸易的限制逐渐减少,国际贸易变得更加自由。但是,随着扰乱和阻止国际贸易的限制政策层出不穷,贸易问题和国家间货物流通问题仍然不断增加。 一般的限制政策包括关税壁垒(比如进出口关税)和一些非关税贸易壁垒,诸如进口配额、进口许可证程序、安全、环境或其他最低生产标准、进口检测标准、包括评估在内的负责习惯程序、政府采购政策,以及政府的补贴和反补贴措施。 在两国的友好条约,商业和航海条约(FCN)当中,各国都为了限制破坏世界贸易的行为作出了很多限制,这使得签字国之间能实现其领土上的进出口自由。这种双边的FCN条款经常与特惠贸易协议相关,在这种双边协议当中,这种联系往往是通过互相承认“最惠国”条款来实现的。在最惠国条款当中,缔约国双方同意不给予任何第三国高于本双边条约协定的贸易优惠,除非此优惠立即适用于本双边条约缔约国。 在1944年的布雷顿森林会议当中,参与国一致认为,减少贸易障碍,并以此促进贸易自由化已成为战后世界的必然要求而且他们构想出了一个国际贸易组织(ITO)来达到预期目标。1948年35个国家在哈瓦那集会,完成了ITO宪章的起草,他们希望ITO成为一把保护伞,他们可以在其之下定期的商讨减免关税的相关事宜。1947年在日内瓦,“关税与贸易总协定”(GATT)的出台标志着这种商讨的框架已经基本成形。在GATT的第一阶段,有二十三国家加入到其中。那些严厉的贸易规则只在主要成员无意改变之处才能得到适用。发展中国家反对其中很对严厉的贸易规则,他们想寻求一些特别待遇来满足发展目标,但在起草GATT 当中,发展中国家倒没有取得多少成功。 GATT1947和其随后的的多边谈判回合在减轻货物贸易关税上取得了很大成功。这一点也是GATT1947初衷,而且其机制很好的服务了GATT的目的。但是,它的效用仅限于货物贸易以及如何减轻其关税额度。它的设计没有涉及到服务贸易,知识产权贸易和贸易相关投资措施,随着关税的递减,影响贸易的消极因素却在上述GATT没有涉及的领域愈发突出。 即便在货物贸易中GATT也有其局限性,他包括了一个适用条款协议,其中允许了很多GA TT下会员义务的“祖父条款例外”,只要对该协议加以适用,会员国就将获得其应当履行的G ATT义务的免除。另外,GATT1947没有一个制度上的宪章,本身也没打算成为一个国际贸易组织。虽然其随后成立了组织机构,并取得了准组织的地位,但是它始终被认为缺少一种规范的组织结构。这种缺陷使得GATT无法解决很多递交上来的争端,争端解决程序也依赖于独立会员国的默许。 在GATT的主持下,缔约国进行了定期的多面贸易协商(MTN或回合),WTO便是GATT 乌拉圭1994年成功谈判的产物。在1986年,乌拉圭回合当中出现了很多协定,其中就有“关于成立世界贸易组织的协定”及其附录(包括关税和贸易总协定1994——GATT1994),还有其他一系列多边贸易协定(如内括协定)。 WTO协议附录包含了一些多边贸易协定。在货物贸易方面,有农业协定,纺织品协定,反倾销协定,补贴和反补贴措施协定,安全保障协定,技术贸易壁垒协定,卫生与动植物检疫措施协定,装运前检验措施协定,原产地规则协定,进口许可证程序协定;除此之外,它还制定了服务贸易,贸易相关的知识产权和贸易相关投资措施的多边规则框架。值得一提的是,

第十章 法律翻译中被动句式的翻译(课堂讲练)

第十章法律翻译中被动句式的翻译(课堂讲练) 本章教学目标:掌握法律英语翻译中有关被动句翻译的若干基本方法。 课堂讲练: 1、概述 在法律英语句式中,被动语态(PASSIVE VOICE)使用频率很高。通常在以下情况中,法律英语会使用被动语态: 例1、(1)、The Conformity Certificate of the Goods to be delivered shall be delivered directly to Party A by Party C on the Delivery Day of such Goods. 参考译文:拟交付货物的产品合格证应由丙方在该批货物交货日直接交给甲方(或:丙方应在交货日将拟交货物的产品合格证直接交给甲方)。 (2)、When the Goods to be pledged under this Agreement have been delivered to the Dealer acting on behalf of the Pledgee, the Pledgor shall submit to the Dealer a Delivery Note. 参考译文:依照本协议应质押的货物交付给代表质押权人的经销商后,质押人应向经销商提交一份交货单。 (3)、Unless otherwise specified in writing herein, all Confidential Information must be returned to the disclosing Party or destroyed on the expiration of the period of the receiving Party’s using such Confidential Information. 参考译文:除非本协议另有书面规定,所有机密信息在接收方使用期限届满时必须退还给披露方或者销毁。 (4)、如果在合同任何一方向对方发出就因本合同引起的或与之有关的任何争议进行协商的书面请求后15天内,争议仍未得到解决,则任何一方可以将该争议提交中国国际经济贸易仲裁委员会仲裁。 参考译文:Where the disputes arising out of or in relation to this Contract can not be resolved within fifteen (15) days after any Party hereto requesting in writing the other Party to commencing a consultation on said disputes, either Party may submit it to the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission for arbitration(CIETAC). (5)、对于任何因违约而给对合同任何一方造成的损失,违约方必须做出金钱赔偿。 参考译文:Any losses suffered by any Party hereto arising from any breach shall be indemnified by the Party in breach. 小结:从上述例句的翻译中可以看出,法律英语使用被动语态,通常是因为(1)、强调动作对象(即受动者),比如例句(1)、(2),此时,往往施动者没有必要说出或不愿说出;或者(2)、施动者本身无法确定,如(3)、(4);或者两种情形兼而有之,如(5)。在汉译时,由于汉语被动语态的使用频率较英语为少,所以,不必受英语句式限制,将所有被动句都翻译成汉语被动句,译文应以既忠实于原文意义,又符合汉语表达习惯为要旨。 2、英语被动语态基本翻译技巧 1)、译成被动句 如需要强调源语中被动语态的受动对象,一般译成汉语被动句。不过,可以使用”予以、由、受、受到、得以、得到、经“等词汇替代”被“,以表达被动含义。 例2、(1)、If any of the provisions of this Contract is held invalid or unenforceable and unless the invalidity or unenforceability materially violates the fundamental intent and sense of other parts of this Contract, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other provisions hereof. 参考译文:如果本合同任何条款被认定为无效或不可执行,除非此无效或不可执行性实质性地违反本合同根本意图或其其他部分意义,则不得影响本合同其他条款的有效性或可执行性。

《当代法律英语》翻译 第四章公法 在所有的民法法系(civil law) 中所做的基础分辨便是公法(public law) 与私法(private law) 的区分。这种分类方法,对于普通法系(common law)而言 仅仅是潜在的或者默示性质的,但对于民法法系而言却是一种基础性的理解方式。一方面,正如我们所了解的一样,这种分类为民法法系国家提供了法庭组织系统的分辨模板。随着公法领域的争端于19世纪可受法院裁判(justiciable) 开始,独立的特别法庭(tribunal) 被建立起来并约束起公法行为。在今天,除了 刑事案件(criminal matters)这一主要例外,普通法院的管辖权(jurisdiction) 依旧限于私法领域的争端。除了这些司法管辖权的推论以外,公法和私法的分别还产生了一种存在于法律专业中的工作(labor)性质的差别。大量的法学教师倾向于证明他们是“公法专家”(publicist) 或者是“私法专家” (privatist)。课 程和论文(treatise) 倾向于公法或私法的其中一个领域,尽管事实上如今已经考虑到的案由(subject matter) 至少更倾向于许多公法方面。 即使在民法法系世界中公法与私法的分别被广泛承认,但这类法系的法学家(lawyer)对其法系划分的理论基础或者法理正当性仍未达成一致,各国对于这种划分方法的范围和效果也未达成一致。然而,一般来说,公法所关注的是国家机 关之间的关系或者国家与公民之间的关系。公法至少包括宪法(con stitutio nal law),行政法(administrative law)和刑法(criminal law)。而私法是处理公民 或私人团体之间的关系,它至少包括民法(civil law)和商法(commercial law)。这种分类方法的其他几个领域是争论的主题所在。举个例子,民法程序是包含于 一些主体的私人组织的些许法系之中,并且被其他主体认为包含于公法领域。劳动法(labor law),农业法(agricultural law) ,社会保障(social security) , 同时也包括大量的现代规则领域,这些法律有些时候被解释为公法与私法领域的混合,有时又被说成自成一类(拉丁文:sui generis)。 即使公法与私法的划分已经扎根于罗马法系(Roman law)中,然而直到当代 与公法相关的领域仍有一种未开发的因素。这便是对于主权(sovereign)的保护, 法理学家(jurist) 总是谨慎的将其放在一边。正如我们注意到的对于民法法系传 统的历史介绍,几乎所有流传下来并被我们所掌握的罗马法律文献都是关注于私法领域,并且大陆法系(continental legal) 科学的传统也是关注于私法领域。 我们观察到的也是如此:在地方主义(localism)和法律多样化的中世纪,公法的研究余地是很小的。但是当集权化(ce ntralize) 的国家以及它的行政机构(administrative organ)开始出现于欧洲大陆的时候 (与逐步产生影响的法律训 练专业化吻合),这对行政法的发展产生了有利的条件。在19世纪,由于行政法 开始繁荣昌盛,似乎一般的话用于私人个体或者组织的私法规则并不能简单的维持各主体之间的关系,这是因为国家已被政党所垄断。在法国它似乎也是这样的,普通法院(ordinary court) 不能被委托(entrust)从事牵扯到解决国家争端的任 务。正如我们已经了解到的一样:法国对权利分立学说(separation of powers led)的理解,导致其在行政机构中建立起了一系列独立的公法法院。 在德国就是另外一回事了,该国关心被行政权力压迫的普遍性胜过对于司法裁判的不信任。因此,为了避免当公民与行政机构发生争端时是由后者裁决(adjudicate),德国建立了存在于司法机构中并独立于行政法院的裁判体系。
