  • Legal Procedure and Participation by the Public: Germany’s 1990 Genetic Engineering Act
    Law & Policy, 1998
    Co-Authors: Alfons Bora
    Abstract:

    In German law, administrative Procedures concerning high-risk technologies generally involve an element of public participation. This form of “participation for all” often causes a great deal of contention. A well-known example of this development can be found in the Genetic Engineering Act of 1990, which provided for citizen participation at a public hearing (Ero¨rterungstermin) whenever someone applied for a license to release genetically modified plants. Four years later, as a consequence of the experience gained while implementing the law, this provision was removed in the 1994 First Amendment to the Genetic Engineering Law (Bundestag-Drucksache 720/93). Decisions on deliberate release are now made on the basis of written submissions. This article will argue that while there had certainly been good theoretical reasons for implementing a direct, oral form of public participation, in this case failure was predestined by the facts of the situation. In conclusion, the article makes a special plea for continued empirical research into the circumstances of the hearings, in order to explore better the possibilities for implementing functional equivalents to this form of public participation.

  • Control of Legal Procedure in Open Trial——Centering Around the Design of Operating Rules Applied in Standardized Open Trial
    Journal of Fujian Police College, 2020
    Co-Authors: Shi Dong-yan
    Abstract:

    Currently,the judicial credibility has gradually been decreasing and even missing,which creates the problems for the judicial reform,and the improvement of public justice and judicial justice has been seen as the important settlement. As a key factor in public justice,open trial sticks out in order to enhance the judicial credibility. However,the current practice of open trial cannot meet the challenge and it still has many deficiencies,which have been more obvious after the introduce of a series of new initiatives on open trial by the Supreme Court.The reason behind the deficiencies is closely related to the lack of scientific and reasonable control of Legal Procedure. Therefore,we need to constantly sum up experience from judicial practice and,based on the principle of public trial,agree on the range of open trial and the relevant rules and rulations. Besides,we should put every open trial under the reasonable judical Procedure,to reach the goal of institutionalization and standardization.

  • Justice as ›performance‹? The historiography of Legal Procedure and political criminal justice in Weimar Germany
    2020
    Co-Authors: Henning Grunwald
    Abstract:

    Forensic theatre, courtroom drama: metaphors about the theatricality of Legal Procedure abound in scholarly writing. And yet, despite manifest structural similarities between stage and tribunal, historians as well as scholars of politics, law and culture have been slow to take seriously the performativity of law. In asking why, my contribution explores some of the challenges posed by a cultural history of the Legal process as performance. After surveying appropriations of Performance Studies concepts by scholars of law, I formulate a working definition of the performativity of judicial Procedure. Part two develops a tripartite matrix for categorizing interpretations of the nexus between performance and the Legal process: surface/structural similarities; the performance of justice’s impartiality (and by extension the state’s legitimacy); and, brushing these against the grain, counter-performances of fundamental dissent. Empirically, this contribution draws on the politicization and aestheticization of trials in interwar Germany. In Weimar’s starkly polarized politics, performative aspects of trials such as performer-audience interaction and the creation/affirmation of community through sacrifice were particularly salient. Taking the performativity of justice seriously, my contribution argues, can help us better understand the deep impact of Legal Procedure on political culture.
