《法律英语》教学大纲一、序言（一）课程发展的历史沿革西北政法学院于20世纪90年代中期开设法律英语课程，是我国是较早开设该课程的高等院校之一。
当时开设此类课程的院校只有中国政法大学、西南政法大学。
由于学校和学院的高度重视，个别教师的积极参与，法律英语课程一直是我院的特色课程，并成为法律英语专业的核心课程。
经过十几年的教学实践，除了积累了较丰富的经验外，还培养出了一支集科研与教学为一体，职称比例、年龄结构合理的教师队伍。
其科研成果和教学经验在我国的西北五省区处领先地位，并在全国仍具有一定的影响力。
早在1993年，由谢立新任主编、范小玲、樊林波任副主编出版的《法学英语教程》（中国政法大学出版社）是我国最早的法律英语教材之一。
通过一定量的教学实践并在总结前书成功编写经验的基础上，由谢立新、马庆林共同完成的《新编法学英语教程》(2000年12月由上海外语教育出版社出版)，除了作为西北政法大学外国语学院法律英语专业和全校法学专业的指定教材外，还被其他院校广泛使用，如，中南财经政法大学、中山大学、海南大学、解放军政治学院、西北大学、西安科技大学、宁夏大学等，并受到教师和学生的普遍好评。
在教学过程中，为了使学生的学习更具有针对性、更能适应社会对法律+英语复合型人才的需求，我们曾经于1999年和2003年就法律英语课程的课时安排、教学内容、教学手段等在学生中进行过实际调查（主要采用问卷调查的形式）。
根据调查结果和师生们的反馈意见，我们及时撤换掉了一些稍显陈旧的内容，与此同时也加大了部门法和案例法的教学比例以强调学生的社会实践能力，尤其是突出了当今社会与法律密切相关的话题。
另外，为了改变学生知识结构单一这一现状，我们还增加了英美司法文书、法律翻译、法律语言学、英美法概论等选修课程以丰富学生的专业知识和文化背景知识。
2004年法律英语课程被西北政法大学正式确定为精品课程建设项目。
经过2年多时间的相互合作和共同努力，课程组成员顺利完成该课程所需的课程大纲、教案、学习参考文献目录、试题库、实践教学指导计划、教学辅助资料阅读、国外经典案例分析等分项内容的建设工作，其中法律英语教学课件还于2006年分别获得“西北政法大学首届青年教师多媒体课件比赛”一等奖，“第六届全国多媒体课件大赛优秀奖”。

Land, in its general usage, includes not only the face of the earth but everything of a permanent nature over or under it. This includes structures and minerals.教学时数：2 学时教学内容：There are further divisions within the real property classification. The most important are freehold estates, nonfreehold estates, and concurrent estates. (Others are future interests, specialty estates, and incorporeal interests).---Freehold estates are those in which an individual has ownership for an indefinite period of time. An example of a freehold estate is the "fee simple absolute", which is inheritable and lasts as long as the individual and his heirs wants to keep it. Another example is the "life estate", in which the individual retains possession of the land for the duration of his or her life.---Nonfreehold estates are property interests of limited duration.

Individual states have the power to promulgate laws relating to the creation, organization and dissolution of corporations. The law treats a corporation as a legal "person" that has standing to sue and be sued, distinct from its stockholders. The legal independence of a corporation prevents shareholders from being personally liable for corporate debts. It also allows stockholders to sue the corporation through a derivative suit and makes ownership in the company (shares) easily transferable. The legal "person" status of corporations gives the business perpetual life; deaths of officials or stockholders do not alter the corporation's structure.教学时数：2 学时教学内容：Corporation LawPart one: IntroductionPart two: Forms of businessA.ProprietorshipsB.PartnershipsC.Corporations考核要求：1.What are the main classes of business enterprises in the United States?2.What are the main categories of laws applicable to business enterprises in the United States?3.What are Blue Sky Laws?Lesson Thirteen：Insurance Law保险法教学要点：In the absence of insurance, three possible individuals bear the burden of an economic loss; the individual suffering the loss; the individual causing the loss via negligence or unlawful conduct; or lastly, a particular party who has been allocated the burden by the legislature, such as employers under Workmen's Compensation statutes. While types of insurance vary widely, their primary goal is to allocate the risks of a loss from the individual to a great number of people.教学时数：2 学时教学内容：In general, insurance companies are the safekeepers of the premiums. Because of its importance in maintaining economic stability, the government and the courts use a heavy hand in ensuring these companies are regulated and fair to the consumer.Each individual pays a "premium" into a pool, from which losses are paid out. Regardless of whether the particular individual suffers the loss or not the premium is not returnable.Up until 1944, insurance was not considered "commerce" and not subject to federal regulation. But in United States v. South-Eastern Underwriters Association, the Supreme Court held that Congress could regulate insurance transactions that were truly interstate.考核要求：1.Why do people purchase group insurance for personal needs?2.What are the important of insurance for business?3.What is “key man ” insurance?Lesson Fourteen：Commercial Law商法教学要点：Commercial law governs the broad areas of business, commerce, and consumer transactions.

Bank accounts may be established by national and state chartered banks and savings associations. All are regulated by the law under which they were established.Bankruptcy law provides for the development of a plan that allows a debtor, who is unable to pay his creditors, to resolve his debts through the division of his assets among his creditors.Credit allows consumers to finance transactions without having to pay the full cost of the merchandise at the time of the transaction.Negotiable instruments are mainly governed by state statutory law.Real estate transactions are governed by a wide body of federal statutes and state statutory and common law.考核要求：1.What is the history of the commerce clause adjudication?2.What does the Supreme Court interpret the commerce clause?Lesson Fifteen：Tax Law税法教学要点：The focus of this lesson is on tax and related issues.

The main objective of these federal enactments was to assure that the environment be protected against both public and private actions that failed to take account of costs or harms inflicted on the eco-system.The EPA was supposed to monitor and analyze the environment, conduct research, and work closely with state and local governments to devise pollution control policies. NEPA (really enacted in 1969) has been described as one of Congress's most far reaching environmental legislation ever passed. The basic purpose of NEPA is to force governmental agencies to consider the effects on the environment of their decisions.State laws also reflect the same concerns and common law actions in nuisance allow adversely affected property owners to seek a judicial remedy for environtal harms harms.教学时数：2 学时教学内容：Part one: National environmental policy act(Enacted in 1970;Amended in 1975)Title one DECLARATION OF NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY Part two :Federal actions to address environmental justice in minority populations and low-income populations(Executive order 12898,1994)考核要求：1.Why did the Congress make the Declaration of National Environmental Policy?2.What is the continuing policy of the Federal Government?3.What are main contents of an environmental impact statement?Lesson Seventeen：Family Law家庭法教学要点：The right to freedom of choice in marriage and family relationships lies at the heart of the right to privacy.

"Civil trials" concern the judicial resolution of claims by one individual or group against another and is to be distinguished from "criminal trials", in which the state prosecutes an individual for violation of criminal law."Procedure" is to be distinguished from "substantive law" in that substantive law defines the rights and duties of everyday conduct. Substantive law includes contract law, tort law, and so on.In America, civil procedure usually takes the form of a series of rules and judicial practices.

In criminal cases, the state brings the suit and must show guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, while in civil cases the plaintiff brings the suit and must only show the defendant is liable by a preponderance of the evidence.The American criminal system is an adversarial and accusatorial model. Criminal procedure must balance the defendant's rights and the state's interests in a speedy and efficient trial with the desire for justice. Therefore, the rules of criminal procedure are designed to ensure that a defendant's rights are protected.教学时数： 2 学时教学内容：Part one : the adversary systemPart two: the accusatorial systemThe burden of proofThe burden of going forward with the evidencePresumption of innocencePart three: standards of proof考核要求：1.How does an adversary system arrive at a decision?2.What is an inquisitorial system?3.How many standards of proof are critical legal standards and what are they?4.What is the key to an accusatorial process of proof?Lesson Twenty One：Rules of Evidence证据规则教学要点：There are two principal questions about evidence that have to be answered.First, what matters and what materials should be admitted into evidence for the jury to consider?Secondly, what use can properly be made by the jurors of those matters and materials that are ruled admissible?教学时数： 2 学时教学内容：Rules of evidence: Admissibility; Relevancy;Weight;Sufficiency;Burden of proofTypes of evidence : direct evidence; indirect evidenceForms of evidence--Testimonial evidence--Tangible evidence--Judicial notice考核要求：1.What do the rules of evidence apply to?2.What is ‘RELEV ANT EVIDENCE”?3.What evidence is not admissible?4.What are the court direct a party to predicate error upon a ruling?Lesson Twenty Two：WTO Rules世贸组织规则教学要点：The WTO’s procedure for resolving trade quarrels under the Dispute Settlement Understanding is vital for enforcing the rules and therefore for ensuring that trade flows smoothly.A dispute arises when a member government believes another member government is violating an agreement or a commitment that it has made in the WTO. The authors of these agreements are the member governments themselves —the agreements are the outcome of negotiations among members. Ultimate responsibility for settling disputes also lies with member governments, through the Dispute Settlement Body.教学时数： 2 学时教学内容：A unique contributionDispute settlement is the central pillar of the multilateral trading system, and the WTO’s unique contribution to the stability of the global economy. Without a means of settling disputes, the rules-based system would be less effective because the rules could not be enforced. The WTO’s procedure underscores the rule of law, and it makes the trading system more secure and predictable. The system is based on clearly-defined rules, with timetables for completing a case. First rulings are made by a panel and endorsed (or rejected) by the WTO’s full membership. Appeals based on points of law are possible.---Principles: equitable, fast, effective, mutually acceptable---First stage: consultation (up to 60 days).--- Second stage: the panel (up to 45 days for a panel to be appointed, plus 6 months for the panel to conclude).---Appeals考核要求：1.How are disputes settled?2.What is DSU?3.What is DSB?三、推荐教材和参考书目1．《法律英语》，何家弘，第二版，法律出版社，20042．《法律英语教程》，沙丽金、林萍，中国政法大学出版社，20003．《法律英语》，董世忠、赵建，复旦大学出版社，19974．《法律英语核心教程》，杜金榜、张新红，对外经济贸易大学出版社，2002执笔人：申静审核人：张道功审定：法学院。
