第一篇:英文法律演讲稿
一、Since last few weeks, I have been constantly checking my weibo and paying much attention to the case of Zhuling.She was poisoned by Thallium, and that brought her permanent paralysis.Chinese people want the poisoner punished and justice done.Yet until this moment, the criminal is still at large.To fight for zhuling’s interests and everyone’s interests as well, over 130,000 users have signed a petition at the website of white house, demanding the US investigate a suspicious woman.It may be unreasonable;but this is actually an outlet for the public's long-term dissatisfaction at the absence of justice.二、While some guilty people are free, some innocent people are prisoned for years.In last few months, the press highlighted the events that several men spent a long time of their life in prison as a result of miscarriages of justice.What is worse is we don’t know exactly how many people are still suffering from it at the moment, and how many people would.We doubt if justice is still alive in China, we wonder if the law still protects our people’s life and property, we question if there is still anyone who fights for our fundamental rights.三、However confused or inexperienced, I, a freshmen
majoring in law, try to figure out these questions.The word justice is usually associated with courts of law.People might say that justice has been done when a man’s innocence or guilt has been proved beyond doubt.However, the reality is: we usually undertake an arduous journey seeking the truth but we can never be sure that we will find it.And judges, however wise or eminent, are human and can make mistakes.Such disappointing reality must frustrate some people, especially who know little about law, who naively think law can’t go wrong.So, when something does go wrong, their faithfulness is suddenly shattered and they will never believe in law again.四、But I believe that law can make differences.We live in society and good order is the foundation of all things.I agree that good law is good order.Laws are made and enforced in order to protect people in the enjoyment of their own life and property.Without laws, we could not live in any sort of comfort.Some may complain that the law cannot make all men equal, but I argue that all men are equal before the law.Yes, I believe in law, and I am positive about Chinese judicial system too.I admit Chinese judicial system is way far from perfect, but I can also see the remarkable progress of it.The transformation is undertaken and more rights are entitled to people.An increasingly transparent, just and efficient image of judicature is clearer.A proper legal framework is starting to replace the habit of personal relationships as the principle weapon and defense the people’s interests.All these above show that we are stepping forward.I believe in law, and I believe it is better to fight for justice than to rail at the ill.一、Our country is a land of miracles.No one on the earth can ignore our great economic miracles.China has become the second biggest economy in the world.But truth be told, I am not really proud of it.During the economic takeoff, we face great challenges, such as food safety, environment protection and disparity between rich and poor.Our beautiful country and our children’s futures are too high a price to pay for economic growth.A healthier and sustainable economic development is based on good order.And since law is order, we should exert the influence of law on economic fields to boost the economy and
protect people’s interests at the same time.二、A series of reports on poisonous food, especially the melamine scandal, has aroused much panic among us.In China today, laws are generally found to be nets of such a texture, as the little creep through, the great break through, and the middle-sized are alone entangled in.such laws can hardly prevent our people, our children from harms.Laws concerned food safety should be strengthened.And people who produce poisonous food should be punished heavily.Law should act as a night watchman to protect our health.三、China today, you can see GDP increasing, carbon emission increasing, and with that the increase of damage to the environment.We must admit that our effort to save our beautiful country is not enough.Our environmental laws are far from perfect, and still, such laws are never enforced strictly.If legal regulation works, we do not have to sacrifice environmental interests for economic growth.四、Do anyone use “shanzhai” phone here? China is famous for its shanzhai products.Sure, copy is much easier and way more
convenient than invention.And thanks to loopholes of intellectual property law, shanzhai industry is rapidly developing.At the same time, innovation is stifled.New ideas and new products lose market.And changing “made in China” to “created in China” will merely be a dream.Chinese legal people should spare no effort to close loopholes in the regulations of intellectual property and let law cease to be a mere abstract concept, but truly encourage innovation.Law always plays an important role in a country’s economic development.In a market economy, people seek for their own interests.And sometimes, they could damage others to make profits.On these occasions, law is a fence preventing individual interests from harming public ones.

第四篇:法律英文小短文
If you find that you will be unable to pay your taxes on time, you may first ask for an extension which can give you several weeks to obtain the money owed.If the amount is too substantial to obtain in this amount of time, you might consider taking out a bank loan to pay your taxes.If neither method is an option, you may then request a payment plan from the I.R.S.Depending on your situation, payment may be divided into smaller, separate sums spanning months or years.However, you will be responsible for any interest that is applied to your taxes as a result of such a plan.Regardless of your situation, it is important to file your tax return on time and to notify the I.R.S.as soon as possible of any difficulties you may have in paying your taxes.Failure to do so may result in criminal charges and penalties.For more information on I.R.S.payment plans and deferred payment options, contact a tax specialist or attorney, or your local I.R.S.representative.如果你发现自己将不能按时交税,你可要求几周的延长期来偿还所欠的税款。如果所欠数额太大以至于不能在宽限期内得到这笔钱,你可以考虑用银行贷款来偿还税款。如果以上方法都不是好的解决办法,你也可与税务局协商(制定一个)偿还计划,根据你自身的实际情况,需偿还的税款可以分成每笔数目很小的资金,每笔偿还金之间可以间隔几个月或者是几年。然而,这个偿还计划导致的结果就是你必须根据所欠税额支付利息。不管你个人处于何种情况,按时填写纳税申报单并在你支付税款时遇到的困难及时告知税务局是非常重要的。没有这样做的结果可能导致刑事诉讼和罚款。想了解有关I.R.S.还款计划和选择延期付税方式,可向税务专家、税务律师或者是当地I.R.S.代理人联系。

2、span 来自中古英语 spanne <古英语 sponu n(1)间距;时距(2)(事件继续或进展 的)一段时间,期间(3)(桥、拱门等支撑物之间的)跨度,礅距,全长(4)一指距
3、defer vi.推迟, 延期, 听从, 服从vt.使推迟, 使延期
The law protects citizens who are wrongfully deprived of their liberty by another.If you have been the subject of an arrest by the police or other state or federal official which took place without probable cause, in bad faith or if someone deprived you of your liberty, you may be able to make a claim and recover damages, including attorney’s fees and costs.Your rights are safeguarded by both the United States Constitution and state common law.False imprisonment is frequently alleged by a person who feels that he or she was unlawfully arrested.If the police did not have “probable cause” to arrest you, you can sue for false imprisonment.“False arrest” is really just a type of false imprisonment.The police have probable cause when there are enough facts to lead a reasonable person to conclude that you are committing or have committed a crime.This is a considerably higher standard than the mere “suspicion” an officer needs in order to stop you briefly to investigate possible criminal activity.If you feel that you have been the victim of a false imprisonment or false arrest you may wish to contact an attorney.Time is of the essence in many of these cases.In some instances, claims may be barred if they are not brought within a short time after the date of the occurrence.For more information, talk with an attorney.法律保护市民不被错误的剥夺自由的权利。如果警察或其他州或联邦官员无合理原因、违反规定对你实行逮捕,或者有人非法剥夺你的自由,你可以提起诉讼,要求赔偿损失(包括要求对方支付律师费和其他费用)。你的权利受美国宪法以及州普通法的保护。认为自己被错误逮捕的人通常会抗议这种错误关押。如果警察没有正当理由逮捕了你,你可以以错误关押为由提起诉讼。错误逮捕属于错误关押的一种,当有足够证据表明行为人正在犯罪或者已经实施了犯罪行为时,警察就有了合理逮捕行为人的理由。为了迅速将案犯逮捕以便对犯罪活动进行调查,这个结论必须证据充分而非仅仅是怀疑,如果认为自己被错误关押或错误逮捕时,你也许希望能和律师联系。时间在许多案例中会成为至关重要的因素,一些发生过的案例表明,如果在案情发生后较短时间内没有提出诉求,法庭将会拒绝审理。需了解更多信息可向律师咨询。
