第四篇：法律英语演讲稿

i don`t believe in law good afternoon, honorable judges, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen.today i want to share my view on law.to tell the truth,alhough i am a sophomore major in law,i don`t believe in it.i mean when acting we ought not to put lawful first.because in my mind,things that worth believing in are supposed to be noble and nice.they believe the world could be beautiful through arousing and strengthen kindness of man.but law is our last baseline and insurance,whose presumption is that human are wicked.they keep a watchful eye on the weakness of human nature,so it aim at fighting against us.just when we have no other ways to recover,will us appeal to it.as a reasonable person,how can we regard the last resort as our faith? in addition,we will realize that law itself has got bogged down in ineffectiveness and injustice while reviewing the current events.facing the rough administrative enforcement of legislation by urban-management officers,xiajunfeng,a hawker ,killed two enforcers in self-defence.he was sentensed to death again by the judgement of the last resort,upholding the original verdict.during these trials,in support of the official,courts excluded all the testimonies of legal witnesses regardless of the rights and benefits of the defendant.it is distinct corruption and a violation of law.the urban management system is obviously irrational,what`s worse,this case makes me feel that confronting unreasonable mechanism,inpiduals have no choice but to be sacrifice of it because of the unfair judgement.(转载于:法律英语演讲稿)in order to handle these social problems ,most people appeal for sound rule of law.as far as they are concerned,law can offer solutions to every problem simply and efficiently in a world struggling with rapid industrialization.nevertheless,is legislation the source of the scandals and fundamental solutions to them? kant haw ever said:there are two things make me deeply shocked in my innermost being:the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me.it is morality that the measurement for one`s conscience and the primary rule we ought to abide by.the requirements of morality is much stricter than those of statute.for this reason,one could be legally innocent but morally guilty.only be strict with yourself under this discipline,shall we prevent ourselves from breaching law and regulations easily,which would be binding then.in a word,rule of morality should be underlying.law is not everything,but just as what hooks and rope to climber ,.we can`t live without it.i am sure that a true harmonious society will be built as long as rule of law and rule of morality be joint with each other to shine over our heads.篇二：英语演讲 美国的法律 the american law what does it mean to obey the law? that depends on where you are.different cultures have very different views of obeying the law.in some cultures, law-abiding citizens try to keep the letter of the law.that is, whatever the law says, they do.in other cultures, good citizens live by the spirit of the law.they see the law only as a general guideline.often they obey the law only when someone official is looking.the situation in america fits into the first category.that doesnt mean all americans keep the law.but american culture teaches people to respect the law--even to the smallest detail.one reason is about americas christian.it’s heritage[文化遗产] has shaped how people view the law.for one thing, the bible reveals gods unchanging laws which people must obey.it also teaches people to respect human authority as established by god.for example,driving habits illustrate american respect for the law.a driver will usually stop for a red light, even when there are no other cars around.people treat the lines marking streets and roads as definite[明确的] boundaries, not just decorations.vehicles[机动车] yield[让出] to those with the right of way-particularly pedestrians[行人].actually, though, drivers dont always keep traffic rules.for example, many drivers ignore freeway speed limits.but americans generally drive with careful attention to the rules.of course, not everyone in america abides by the law.crime is a growing problem.however,skilled lawyers sometimes use minor issues to get their clients[委托人] set free.and prison inmates may live even better than many poor citizens.anyway,no one believes a perfect legal system is possible.yet every society has laws.whether people follow the letter of the law or just the spirit of the law, they recognize the need for laws to keep order in society.without them, the society would be chaotic[混乱].if every man were a law unto[向，对] himself, no man would be free.篇三：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 publics 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.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.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 inpidual interests from harming public ones.篇四：法律英语演讲稿 good morning, ladies and gentlemen, honorable judges: my name is xxx, from xxx.i esteem it a privilege to address such a distinguished audience.today my topic is the fulfillment of legal security.at the beginning of my speech, i’d like to share a story with you.tom and ivan were on a trip, discussing the happiest thing they had ever met.tom said he once encountered a burglary.he lost his money,jewelery and most of all,especially,a laptop which saved his precious draft.finally, the things he lost were found by the policemen.this is the happiest experience in his life.and then, ivan began to talk.one day, his family were about to have dinner, suddenly, two policemen broke into his house.“ivan,you are arrested!”ivan was scared and confused, crying with his family.that time,ivan’s wife said charily:“there is another ivan upstair.is there any possibility that you take the wrong person?”after checking the identity card, the police said,“sorry for disturbing!the ivan upstair is the right one we want.” the story seems to be nonsense,but it declared a truth.we want a peaceful and harmonious life, we don’t want to be harmed by the criminal,nor the government.when people’s property and life be threatened ,they are eager to be effectively protected.we want the guilty be arrested as quickly from the unreasonable judgement, the random arrest and the wrong conviction，people require for restraining officials’ power intensely.we should set a strict procedure for arrest ,indictment and conviction.we should also support the justice when the power is abused.apparently, there are two kinds of needs in our society.one is the public security, the other is the legal security.the public security protects us from criminal hurts and the legal security offers us a shelter for the arbitrary of public power.since ancient times, legislators have paid more attention to public security rather than legal security.however, nowadays, people live in a peaceful world, relatively, pursuing more substantial rights.and legislators should convert traditional views into seeing policemen ,procurators ,judges as potential tortfeasors.thanks for listening!篇五：英语演讲稿

【英语演讲稿】 future is now what is future?every time i look at the stars in the sky,i ask myself.it’s realy a hard question to answer it.the universe is boundless,we don’t know where are we from and where shall we go.i stand there,at sea.when a fortune-teller look at your palm,she’ll tell you how your future will be like.that’s a way you place your hope on.but it’s not realistic.the future is the things and people around you.what you should do is to try to do everything well,don’t care much about the results.be kind to all the people around you,and love them.although the world is not full of love,the life is not a bed of rose,you should sdick on your belief.when time passes,you’ll find everything you do is worthwhile.years is glorious.because no way you can stop time from elasping.how time flies!just like the flowers in spring,the sunshine in summer,the moon in mid-autumn and the snow in winter.maybe one morning you’ll never wake up,you’ll never see the sunrise or the sunset;you’ll never see your sweatheart or talk to her,you’ll never hear the sound of the nature or wander on the path among the trees,you’ll never swim in the lake or climb the mountains.time is gold.every minute is precious.we should make best use of it.don’t waste even one minute.spend time in working,in laughing,in playing games and in loving.each of us has a kite flying in the sky,and we also have a string each.children’s kite is childhood,the string is grown.lovers’ kite is love,the string is daily life.i have a kite,it is called dream,the string in my hands is reality.the wind which makes kites fly is future.kites are not free,but we still have power to control them and let them fly higher and higher.the string is in my hands,future is now in my hands.future is now,forget the fortune-teller,clench your fists!微笑是一种亲切

good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen!today i’d like to share my personal experience of happiness and bitterness of being an english teacher.i remember, five years ago, when i stood at the teacher’s desk for the first time, maybe because i was too young, maybe because i was too inexperienced, the students in my class paid no attention to me, didn’t behave themselves at all.i felt ashamed and helpless.in order to save my face, i just criticized the students seriously whenever they talked in class or even moved a little.i thought sooner or later, they would listen to me.yes, i could control the class now, but the students and the atmosphere became strange.no, they were not listening to me.it was too quiet.the breathless silence urged me to consider the way i was teaching.then 1 august 2003, i got the chance to study the new course of english.until then could i realized that it was my frozen eyes that make the students flinch, it was my stiff face that trod out the enthusiasm in the children’s hearts.how to stimulate my class and show my warmth, so that they can enjoy their study in english? i had a deep thought.it’s smile.there is a kindness called smile.it is the most beautiful language in the world.it can make distance no distance.“just awake the students with a smiling face!”i said to myself.the next day, when i stood on the stage with a smiling face, when i asked the questions with a smile, when i encouraged the children in a friendly way, the students were just shocked!but i could find there was more happiness and excitement in their eyes!gradually, they got used to it, and participated in my teaching.as i predicted, that class became a lovely one.i was moved, and said“thank you for listening, boys and girls!” in the following days, i keep on working even harder.i prepare my lessons carefully.i use flash, pictures, riddles, and interesting stories to make great efforts to help the students to learn more.but i will never forget one thing: smile, give them a smile, to give them strength, to let them feel happy, to make them confident.the children do enjoy the english lesson now, when they tell me the answers in great excitement, i can feel their gladness, and my smile is more sincerely than ever!there is kindness called smile.from the children’s yearning eyes, i understand, it is smile that makes my students and i get closer, it is smile that fills the kindness to my english class, it is smile that shapes me popular english teacher finally.that’s all.thank you very much!联欢晚会英语演讲致词 a speech on the party my fellow soldiers and students, to end my speech, i would like to suggest a warm applause to the teachers and students on the stage.may the applause resemble the magnificent results of the cooperative establishment between us.may the applause bring happiness fruit of the cooperative establishment between us.at the same time may the teachers and students make greater progress in teaching and learning!and happy new year to all of you!thank you all!战友们，同学们： 再有十多天就是春节了，在新春佳节即将来临之际，我们共建的单位吉林市第二十九中学的师生们以亲人的身份，带着特殊的礼品走到大家身边，让我代表在座的官兵对师生们的精彩表演所抒发出的深情厚意表示诚挚的谢意！

今天登台演出的同学们与我们战士的年龄相差无几，同学们浓厚的艺术细胞和异彩纷呈的表演震撼撞击着青年官兵，增强了军营的节日气氛，抚慰了新战士的思亲之情，坚定了广大战士戊边卫国的豪情壮志。
