内容简介
随着我国入世和改革开放程度不断加大,越来越多的外资进入中国市场,越来越多的中国企业走出国门寻找商机。无论是“迎进来”,还是“走出去”,法律问题是这些企业都须面临的一个共同问题,而这些法律问题中的大多数又都属于涉外法律的工作范畴。由于法律文化、法律条款的差异,中外双方在合作过程中不可避免地会出现许多矛盾分歧,减少、化解这些矛盾分歧需要沟通谈判,甚至需要通过法律手段来解决问题。所有这些工作都需要法律工作者通过专业外语完成。因此,在国际化趋势日渐凸显的今天,掌握专业外语已经成为法律人必备的职业素质。 众所周知,美国法是英美法系的典型代表,其法律体系完整、内容丰富,既有传统的普通法,又有新兴的成文法;既有统一的联邦法,又有各州的法律。同时,美国法在世界范围内影响深远,学习研究美国法意义重大,这不仅表现为许多国家都在研究美国的法律规则,借鉴其成熟做法,还表现为许多国际公约也参照美国法的理念、原则、规则制定。 因此,本书作为学习法律英语的精读教材,主要介绍美国法,希望读者通过学习权威、实用的美国法律知识,掌握地道、纯正的法律英语。一般的语言教材都会系统地讲授语法知识,但本书的编写设想学生已经完成了从中学英语到大学一、二年级的基础英语学习,系统掌握了英语语法等基础知识并有不低于六千英语词汇量。本书具有以下特点:首先,编者参考了大量的美国原版法学书籍,包括美国法学院教材及大量判例,力求实现教材内容的权威性和丰富性。其次,本书引用了许多极具代表性的英文案例。英美法系是判例法系,无论是法官还是律师都特别注重对判例的研究,因此学习美国法不能绕过案例,通过研究案例更有利于掌握标准的法律英语,也更容易掌握美国法的精髓。本书选取了十几个经典案例,以期最大程度地展现美国法原貌。 再次,本书在每部分后面都附有相关的练习题,以期帮助读者检查自己学习掌握法律英语术语、基础美国法知识和逻辑推理知识的程度,查漏补缺。 本书共分十部分。第一、二部分首先介绍了基本法律英语词汇的特点、美国的法律体系。这是学好法律英语的基础。第三至第九部分分别介绍了美国主干部门法:合同法部分对合同的成立、有效性、违约以及救济进行了详细论述;侵权法主要介绍了故意侵权、过失侵权、近因原则、共同侵权、代理人责任、严格责任以及抗辩等;知识产权法主要介绍了商业秘密、版权、专利、商标的概念及对其的保护;此外本书还对美国宪法、刑法、刑事诉讼法、证据法、财产法等法律进行了概括介绍。本书最后一部分简单介绍了逻辑推理(logicalreasoning)的有关知识,这也是涉外法务工作人员需熟练掌握的不可或缺的知识。法律英语证书(Legal EnglishCertificate,简称LEC)全国统一考试旨在为国家机关、涉外企事业单位、律师事务所等提供招募国际性人才的客观标准,同时督促国内法律从业人员提高专业英语水平。LEC考试的题型、考查内容与美国律师资格考试相近,同时又突出了法律英语语言运用特色,并结合中国实际增加了法律英语翻译测试。公检法机关和企事业单位涉外法务工作人员,从事涉外法务的律师、公司法律部门的从业人员,高等院校法律、英语、经贸、国际关系等专业学生,愿意从事法律英语教学的教师以及社会上一切法律英语爱好者均可参加LEC考试。LEC考试每年两次,分别在5月和11月的最后一个星期六举行。有关考试信息请关注LEC考试官方网站:www?lectest?com。 本书由法律英语证书(LEC)全国统一考试指导委员会组织专家编写,它不仅为欲参加LEC考试的考生提供了系统权威的复习指南,也是一本为全国高等院校学生学习法律英语所精心编写的精品系列教材之一。
