SUMMARY:The Global Contest between Democracy and Autocracy: Less Dire Than It Seems
DESCRIPTION:The Harvard Law School Human Rights Program presents: \nKenneth Roth\nFormer Executive Director\, Human Rights Watch \n\nThe common wisdom these days is that in the global contest between democracy and autocracy\, the autocrats are ascendant. That is wrong. Putin’s disastrous invasion of Ukraine and Xi Jinping’s “zero Covid” debacle are highly visible illustrations of the risks inherent in unaccountable government. It is not surprising that people in a broad range of countries have taken to the streets to support democracy and oppose autocracy. Many of the autocrats hang on\, but increasingly by brute force rather than a process conferring any semblance of legitimacy. Yet despite the unenviable record of autocratic rule\, democracies are also under threat because of their failure to deliver on many of their promised dividends. The defense of democracy requires not only spotlighting the failure of autocratic rule but also better governance within democracies. \nKenneth Roth served for nearly three decades as the executive director of Human Rights Watch\, one of the world’s leading international human rights organizations\, which operates in some 100 countries. Before that\, Roth was a federal prosecutor in New York and for the Iran-Contra investigation in Washington. A graduate of Yale Law School and Brown University\, Roth has conducted numerous human rights investigations and missions around the world\, meeting with dozens of heads of state and countless ministers. He is quoted widely in the media and has written hundreds of articles on a wide range of human rights issues\, devoting special attention to the world’s most dire situations\, the conduct of war\, the foreign policies of the major powers\, the work of the United Nations\, and the global contest between autocracy and democracy. Roth is currently writing a book about the strategies used by Human Rights Watch to defend human rights\, drawing on his years of experience. Roth holds fellowships at the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School and at Perry World House of the University of Pennsylvania. \nEvent details on the Human Rights Program website \nThe event is organized by HRP and co-sponsored by HLS Advocates for Human Rights\, the International Human Rights Clinic\, Program on Law and Society in the Muslim World\, the Harvard Human Rights Journal\, the Program on International Law and Armed Conflict\, and East Asian Legal Studies.

SUMMARY:Trials Heard by a Foreign Ear: A Study of Chinese Jurors’ Comprehension of English Trials in Hong Kong
DESCRIPTION:Harvard-Yenching Institute Visiting Scholar Talk \nSPEAKER \nEva Nga Shan Ng\, Assistant Professor\, Translation Programme\, School of Chinese\, the University of Hong Kong; HYI Visiting Scholar\, 2022-23 \nCHAIR/DISCUSSANT \nNicholas Harkness\, Modern Korean Economy and Society Professor of Anthropology\, Harvard University \nIn-person talk – Seating is limited. Masks are required for all audience members. \nStudies in jury comprehension have hitherto mainly explored Anglo-American courts and focused on examining English-speaking jurors’ ability to understand legal discourse\, particularly with respect to jury instructions. Such studies reveal doubts about jurors’ comprehension of the legalese in jury instructions and argue for the use of plain English to make jury instructions accessible to lay jurors. This paper reports findings of a study contextualized in the Hong Kong courtroom\, where criminal trials in the High Court are routinely heard by local Chinese jurors presumed to have a sufficient command of the language used in court\, be it English or Chinese. This study aims to test the validity of  the presumption about Chinese jurors’ ability to understand trials conducted in English\, which they speak as a second or even a foreign language (L2)\, and to explore how L2 jurors’ comprehension might be further compromised due to a lack of proficiency in English. A random sample of local Chinese eligible for jury service (N=53) are recruited from the community to take part in the study\, which comprises a demographic survey of the subjects\, as well as a test of their comprehension of courtroom discourse using authentic audio recordings of two trials from the High Court of Hong Kong. The results of this study show an average listening comprehension level of around 41% by the subjects\, with some attaining below 25%. The results also show that the subjects’ listening comprehension problems are not limited to legalese. Taking the Voice Projection Framework (Heffer 2018) as a point of reference\, this study suggests that while discursive voicing is largely to blame for the subjects’ comprehension problem\, as in studies with native English-speaking jurors\, in the case of L2 jurors\, the speakers’ physical voicing of courtroom discourse is demonstrated and perceived by the subjects to be a major factor in impeding their comprehension of the courtroom discourse. This paper argues that making courtroom discourse accessible to L2 jurors means more than improving the discursive voicing\, but physical voicing matters as much\, if not more. This paper also discusses the possibility of providing interpretation for jurors in need of the service to ensure equal participation in jury service by people randomly selected from the community and to mitigate the jury dilemma. \nEvent details on the Harvard-Yenching Institute website \nSponsored by the Harvard-Yenching Institute. Co-sponsored with the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies and East Asian Legal Studies.

SUMMARY:Symbolic Legitimacy and Chinese Environmental Reform
DESCRIPTION:Fairbank Center Environment in Asia Lecture Series \nAlex Wang\nProfessor of Law\, UCLA School of Law \nAt the heart of debates over Chinese rule of law is the question of state legitimacy. Critics argue that legitimacy requires liberal democratic rule of law. Chinese leaders have long relied on performance legitimacy — economic development and maintenance of social stability — as the core basis of their rule. Western scholarship on modern Chinese law and politics has\, to a significant degree\, critiqued the ability of China’s current institutions to perform as claimed. \nBut apart from any actual results that Chinese governance may generate\, the entire project of governance reform can be structured in a way that influences public impressions of state legitimacy. The process of reform is not only about attaining performance goals\, but is itself a kind of performance. This act of “performing performance” also signals competence\, commitment to the people\, tradition\, nationalist strength\, and a host of other positive values to citizens and other audiences. \nThis talk explores the symbolic aspects of Chinese environmental reform and potential implications\, drawing on case studies in air pollution\, climate change\, and China’s Belt & Road Initiative. \n\n\n\nAlex Wang is Professor of Law at UCLA School of Law\, and a leading expert on environmental law and the law and politics of China. His research focuses on the social effects of law\, and the interaction of law and institutions in China and the United States. His previous research has examined\, among other things\, the institutional design of environmental law and policy\, environmental bureaucracy\, public interest litigation\, information disclosure\, and environmental courts. His work has addressed air pollution\, climate change\, and other environmental issues. \n  \nEvent details on the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies website (opens in a new tab). \nSponsored by the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies. Co-sponsored by East Asian Legal Studies.

SUMMARY:Searching for a Social Order: The Sociology and Afterlives of Law in Japanese-Occupied China
DESCRIPTION:Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies Japan Forum Series \n\n  \nColin P.C. Jones\nReischauer Institute Postdoctoral Fellow\n(Ph.D. History\, Columbia University\, 2017) \nModerator: Andrew Gordon\nLee and Juliet Folger Fund Professor of History\, Harvard University \nThis talk connects the legal history of the Japanese empire to the broader history of legal and social thought in the twentieth century. It examines the design\, execution\, and long afterlife of the North China Rural Customary Law Survey. Conducted from 1940 to 1944\, the survey was unprecedented for the ethnographic approach it took to its subject. Through interviews with Chinese villagers\, its researchers sought to uncover the intricate web of customary practices\, associational norms\, and religious beliefs that coordinated and regulated daily life independently of the state—or what survey’s designer\, Suehiro Izutarō\, called the “living law.” I trace this concept to its inception in Habsburg Central Europe and show how\, through its implementation in northern China\, it continues to shape our understanding of East Asian legal systems. \nSponsored by the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies.
