The bureaucratic heavy hand in China: legal means for foreign investors to challenge agency action
Article Abstract:
Chinese law affords foreign investors significant ways to challenge improper agency action, in particular these agencies' bureaucratic overreaching, with the Administrative Litigation Law and the foreign investment laws affording remedies. The remedies of the latter include protections against expropriation, compensation, and general protection of foreign investors' interests. However, courts tend to be unable and unwilling to accept jurisdiction in administrative cases and assert their statutory power against administrative agencies and they also lack a clear standard of reference for determining what is proper procedure.

Speak now: the accused student's right to remain silent in public university disciplinary proceedings
Article Abstract:
Public university and college students should be granted the right of silence and the assurance that silence will not be taken as evidence of guilt in college disciplinary proceedings. The assurance that the right would attach in any subsequent criminal proceedings would not be sufficient because of the substantial liberty interest implicated by the right to stay at the school. The more expansive protection should be granted to students based on the obligation of public institutions to adhere to due process standards.
