国际商法双语教学探析
所学习的主要内容大都源 自外文原文 ,众多课堂案例也 因 自身所具备的国际性与涉外性,使得双语教学势在必行。 同时 ,开展 双语教学 ,可 以有效提高学生用 流利 的外语 处理涉外商事法律纠纷的能力 , 培养出适应国际化趋势具有 国际视野的 “ 精专业 、懂法律 、通外语 ”的复合型人才。
21 国际商法双语师资匮乏 . 师资水平是决定双语教学成败的关键。作为国际商法
双语 教学 的教师 ,一 方面要 精通 国 际商事 法律 ,另一 方 面 需要具 备较 强 的英语 口语 能力 ,同时还 需要 有扎 实 的专业 法律英 语基 础 。就 目 国内承担 双语 教学 的老 师来看 ,同 前
事法律处理能力 ,提高学生国际商事法律素质,深入开展
双语 教学成 为摆 在我 们面前 的重 要任务 。
1 国 际商 法开展双 语教 学的 必要 性
国际商法 是 国际经 贸与 商事 法律 的交 叉 学科 ,主要 以 国际商 事公约 、国际商 事惯 例为 主要 学 习 内容 ,涵 盖 商事 组织 、合 同 、代理 、争议 解决 等 方面 ,涉及 西 方 的两个 法 律体 系大陆法 系与普 通法 系 中有 关商 事法 律 制度 。该课 程
国际商法的授课对象为非外语专业学生 ,因此外语水平尤 其是专业法律英语水平不高 ,使双语 日常教学进度较慢 ,
难 度较大 。 23 学生缺乏国际商法实践环境 . 由于 国内企业 鲜于应 对 国际商 事纠纷 ,即使 积极 应对 也 大多聘 请高 端 国际法律 人才 ,并且 公 司法律 纠纷大 多不 公 开披露 ,因此 国内学生 通过 双语教 学掌 握的 国际法 律知 识 没有社 会实 践 的机会 ,难 以学 以致用 。 24 缺 乏适 用的 双语教 材 .

第一章 导论
第一节 国际商法概述 一、 国际商法的概念、特征和主要 内容 二、 国际商法的历史发展 (一) 古代的商法 (二) 近代的商法 (三) 现代的商法统一化运动 三、 国际商法的渊源
(一)国际商法的概念
国际商法(International Commercial Law)是指调整国际商业活动中所形 成的各种关系的法律规范的总和。
(三)国际商法的特点 1.国际商法主要属于私法的范畴, 却又带有公法的性质,是私法与公法 的混合物。 大陆法系将法律分为公法与私法两 个部分。 公法是指以保护社会共同利益为目 的而制定的,并不得由私人协议加以 改变的法律规范,典型的如宪法、刑 法、行政法、诉讼法。
私法则是指以保护私人利益为目的 而制定的,调整平等主体间的(即私 人间的)横向的(或称平行的)法律关系 的,且允许由私人契约予以变更的法 律规范,典型的如民法与商法。 国际商法不仅包括纯粹调整跨国私 人商业交易关系的私法规则,也包括 国家间缔结的含有商法内容的国际条 约、公约,所以,国际商法又带有一 定的“公法”性质。
(二)判例与学说 1、判例 (1)英美法系 英美法国家是实行判例法制度的国家, 权威的法院判决,作为一种先例 (Precedent),对下级法院具有约束力, 起着法律的作用。 (2)大陆法系 大陆法系国家虽然实行“成文法”,但 这些国家的法院也常运用判例中所确定 的某些具体规则来补充、完善法典规定 的不足。

Nations and other international bodies. It is true that international courts and tribunals such as the International Court of Justice or dispute body of the WTO do issue judgments against nations. But it is based on the precondition that nations must agree to be a party to these cases, and enforcement mechanism like in the national law does not really exist. The enforcement mechanisms in international law may include diplomacy, the withholding of foreign aids or assistance, trade sanctions and retaliation, or war. In certain cases, where individuals are convicted of having committed international crimes, prison sentences and the death penalty will be used.international law and private international law.rules affecting the relationships between nations.

It is an alternative to common law system and has its roots in Roman Law. It is employed by almost every country that was not a colony of the British Empire, eg: France, Germany.●In most jurisdictions the civil law is codified in the form of civil codes, but in some, like Scotland it remains uncodified. Most codes follow the tradition of Code Napoléon in some fashion. Notably, the German code was developed from Roman law with reference to German legal tradition.●Civil law relies on legislation, rather than judicial decisions for law. Civil law system does not recognize judge-made law.Common Law system●Common law is a system of law used in England, all of the states of the United States (except Louisiana) and other former British possessions such as Australia, Canada (except Quebec), India, Ireland, Jamaica, New Zealand and Hong Kong.●Common law system emphasizes the role of judges in determining the meaning of laws and how they apply. It arose beginning in the eleventh and twelfth centuries as the English monarch appointed royal judges to resolve disputes in the name of the king (or queen). As there are little formal law to apply to many disputes, the decisions handed down by the judges literally made the law.Law System in the World…(图略)Chinese Law●The Law of China, for most of the history of China, was rooted in the Confucian philosophy of social control. These influences remain in the contemporary legal system of the People's Republic of China. PRC has been influenced by a number of sources including traditional Chinese views toward the role of law, the PRC's socialist background, the German-based law in Taiwan Province, and the English-based common law used in Hong Kong SAR. The law of the United States has also been very influential particularly in the area of banking and securities law.Question ?Many scholars think that Chinese legal system belongs to Civil Law system. What do u think? Show me evidences.Answer●The Chinese legal system has similar characteristics to a civil law system●This is partly because in Chinese history written laws and codes were important, as far back as the Qin Dynasty●Also partly due to European influences on China in the 19th and 20th centuries●The Chinese legal system is distinct from other legal systems, but its structure is similar to civil systems like France and GermanyIn fact, case law is not considered to be a source of law in China, though decisions published in Bulletin of the Supreme People's Court are used as a guideline by lower courts when the law is unclear.Definition of law●What is law? Many definitions●Law is made up of three elements:1.Formal legislation2.Rules of law in cases3.Legal concepts●The rule of law : “ a government of laws and not of men”Classification of lawThere are several ways of classifying legal subjects.●Public law and private law.1.Public law includes constitutional law, administrative law. and criminal law. In public law the interests of society are represented by the State.2.Private law involves those legal problems which exist between individuals, and is divided into the law of contract, law of torts, and law of property.●Substantive law and procedural law.1.Substantive law defines legal relationships between people or between individuals and the State. …2. Procedural law deals with the means by which substantive law is administered. Rules involving the method of conducting trials, appeals, and enforcement of judgments are examples of procedural law. …●Civil law and criminal law..Civil law Criminal law1.Deals with the relationships between individual citizens 1.Deals with rules created by the State which forbid certain behaviour, which are “crimes”2.Its purpose is to settle arguments between individuals 2.Criminal law punishes people It does not provide remedies3.It helps people to find remedies It doesn’t really punish people 3.Criminal law is usually what people think of when they think about “the law”, (arrest imprisonment)4.Civil Law includes all Private Law andsome public law4.Criminal law is part of public lawCivil Case and Criminal Case1.●Civil cases may include suits for breach of contract or tort (侵权) cases, such as suits for personal injuries. Typically, they involve a request for damages of the wrongdoer. Civil Law includes all Private Law and some Public Law.●In a civil case, the parties only have to prove their case on the balance of probabilities ●In a civil case, each party is usually represented by a lawyerPerson who starts an action is the PlaintiffThe person who is being sued is the Defendant2.●Criminal cases (be charged with a crime) involve a representative of governmentattempting to prove the wrong committed against society and seeking to have the wrongdoer punished by the court system.●In a criminal case, the prosecutors (ie the State) must prove their case beyond reasonable doubtSources of LawLaw comes from four basic sources:1. Constitutions.2. Legislation.3. Judicial decisions .4. Regulations●Constitutions are the basic and supreme law.●Most of our laws are found in some form of legislation.●Judge-made (judicial decisions) law is often called common law. Common law is based on the principle stare decisis, which means that in present cases courts follow decisions (precedents) laid down in prior cases. In a sense, courts also “make law” when they interpret constitutions, statutes, and regulatory rules and decisions.Legal sanctions●The methods for forcing obedience to the law are called sanctions, which are a form of punishment. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution guarantees that we will not be punished (“deprived of life, liberty, or property”) by the state without a “due process” of law. One sanction enables a person to take another's money or property .This sanction is known as a remedy.●Consider the following sanctions for following legal conduct:1. Criminal conduct.2. Breach of contract.3. Tortious conduct.4. Violating Statutes and regulationsFor Criminal ConductA. Criminal law involves wrongs against society that the state punishes. Sanctions for crime includes:1. Death.2. Imprisonment.3. Fine.4. Removal from office.5. Disqualification from holding office and from voting.B. Criminal law is generally divided into felonies and misdemeanors.1. Felonies are punishable by fine or imprisonment of one year or more.2. Misdemeanors are punishable by a fine or imprisonment of less than one year.3. Violations of traffic ordinances, building codes, and other local ordinances aresometimes called the petty offenses.C. White-collar crime is on the increase. White-collar crime is nonviolent crime conducted by businesspersons. E.g.: tax fraud, misrepresentation in financial statements, corporate crime. There have been many proposals made for reducing crime in general and white-collar crime in particular.For Breach of ContractA. A contract is a legally binding agreement between persons. Courts recognize that persons have a duty to live up to their contracts, and the law provides remedies for breach of contracts.B. When one party to a contract fails to do what he or she agreed, a breach of contract occurs.C. The usual remedy for a breach of contract is a lawsuit for dollar damages. These damages are called compensatory damages and are designed to make the victim “whole” again for all losses that arise directly and foreseeable from a contract's breach.D. Breach of contract cases may also award consequential damages when the breaching party had reason to know of special circumstances that would cause the other party to suffer additional damages if the contract were breached. Example: X contracts to sell Y a ditch digger, knowing that Y has a contract with Z to dig ditches. The digger that X supplies is defective, Y cannot dig the ditches for Z, and Y loses Z'S business. Y sues X. The damages required to fix the defective digger are compensatory damages. Y's lost profi1s on the contract with Z are consequential damages.E. When the parties agree in their contract as to what damages for breach will be, these are called liquidated damages.F. Other remedies: Cancellation and rescission , and Specific performanceFor Tortious ConductA. A tort is a non-contractual civil wrong for which the law gives a right to recover damages. The same act may be both a tort and a crime, e.g., an assault.B. Tort liability assumes that in a civilized society people will not intentionally injure others or their property, and that all persons will exercise reasonable care in their activities.1. Intentional torts include assault and battery, false imprisonment, libel, trespass and conversion.2. Negligence liability arises from an injury caused by a failure to exercise the dutyof reasonable care.C. If the plaintiff wins a tort case, he or she is awarded damages. These damages may include1. Compensatory damages that compensate for medical expenses, loss of income, andpain and suffering.2.
