AIM: In the past few years, spectacular progress in neuroscience has led to the emergence of a new interdisciplinary field, the so-called "neurolaw" whose goal is to explore the effects of neuroscientific discoveries on legal proceedings and legal rules and standards. In the United States, a number of neuroscientific researches are designed specifically to explore legally relevant topics and a case-law has already been developed. In Europe, neuroscientific evidence is increasingly being used in criminal courtrooms, as part of psychiatric testimony, nourishing the debate about the legal implications of brain research in psychiatric-legal settings. Though largely debated, up to now the use of neuroscience in legal contexts had not specifically been regulated by any legislation. In 2011, with the new bioethics law, France has become the first country to admit by law the use of brain imaging in judicial expertise. According to the new law, brain imaging techniques can be used only for medical purposes, or scientific research, or in the context of judicial expertise. This study aims to give an overview of the current state of the neurolaw in the US and Europe, and to investigate the ethical issues raised by this new law and its potential impact on the rights and civil liberties of the offenders. METHOD: An overview of the emergence and development of "neurolaw" in the United States and Europe is given. Then, the new French law is examined in the light of the relevant debates in the French parliament. Consequently, we outline the current tendencies in Neurolaw literature to focus on assessments of responsibility, rather than dangerousness. This tendency is analysed notably in relation to the legal context relevant to criminal policies in France, where recent changes in the legislation and practice of forensic psychiatry show that dangerousness assessments have become paramount in the process of judicial decision. Finally, the potential interpretations of neuroscientific data introduced into psychiatric testimonies by judges are explored. RESULTS: The examination of parliamentary debates showed that the new French law allowing neuroimaging techniques in judicial expertise was introduced in the aim to provide a legal framework that would protect the subject against potential misuses of neuroscience. The underlying fear above all, was that this technology be used as a lie detector, or as a means to predict the subject's behaviour. However, the possibility of such misuse remains open. Contrary to the legislator's wish, the defendant is not fully guaranteed against uses of neuroimaging techniques in criminal courts that would go against their interests and rights. In fact, the examination of the recently adopted legislation in France shows that assessments of dangerousness and of risk of recidivism have become central elements of the criminal policy, which makes it possible, if not likely that neuroimaging techniques be used for the evaluation of the dangerousness of the defendant. This could entail risks for the latter, as judges could perceive neuroscientific data as hard evidence, more scientific and reliable than the soft data of traditional psychiatry. If such neuroscientific data are interpreted as signs of potential dangerousness of a subject rather than as signs of criminal responsibility, defendants may become subjected to longer penalties or measures aiming to ensure public safety in the detriment of their freedom. CONCLUSION: In the current context of accentuated societal need for security, the judge and the expert-psychiatrist are increasingly asked to evaluate the dangerousness of a subject, regardless of their responsibility. Influenced by this policy model, the judge might tend to use neuroscientific data introduced by an expert as signs of dangerousness. Such uses, especially when they subjugate an individual's interest to those of society, might entail serious threats to an individual's freedom and civil liberties.

Comme impôt général sur la consommation, la TVA est omniprésente. Si le principe de base de cet impôt est simple, son application concrète s'avère des plus complexes. De nombreuses exceptions, exonérations et délimitations soulèvent continuellement des questions difficiles, lesquelles se posent avant tout aux contribuables eux-mêmes en raison du principe de l'auto-imposition. Près de cinq ans se sont désormais écoulés depuis l'entrée en vigueur de la nouvelle loi sur la TVA le 1er janvier 2010. De premières expériences ont été faites, de nombreuses directives administratives ont été édictées, de la jurisprudence a été rendue en la matière. Le nouveau commentaire se penche de manière approfondie sur ces nouveautés, de même que sur l'essentiel de la doctrine publiée. Il informe le praticien de manière pertinente, précise et complète sur tous les sujets importants du droit de la TVA et lui fournit des réponses concrètes aux questions posées dans la pratique. Les commentaires sont rédigés en partie en français et en partie en allemand.

Pour répondre à ces questions sur les enjeux du parcours de soins, nous allons estimer les recours aux médecins ambulatoires en 2003 à partir de l'enquête Santé Insee. Nous nous attacherons plus particulièrement à l'étude de la demande de consultations hors parcours de soins en fonction des déterminants sociodémographiques, économiques et éducatifs. L'objectif est d'évaluer si le cadre de la loi à la potentialité de bouleverser les pratiques de recours aux médecins ambulatoires, et d'évaluer les personnes qui ne s'inscrivent pas dans le schéma du parcours de soins coordonné et d'estimer les impacts possibles des incitations financières mises en place. Nous essayerons ensuite, au regard de nos résultats, de comprendre les objectifs de politique publique de cette réforme. [P. 15]

En 2002, sur la pression de l'ASMAV (Section vaudoise de l'Association suisse des médecins-assistants et chef(fe)s de clinique ASMAC), le canton de Vaud applique petit à petit la Loi sur le travail (LTr) aux médecins-assistants (temps de travail hebdomadaire maximal de 55 puis 50 heures, etc.). L'auteur analyse les implications de la Loi sur le travail dans deux contextes vaudois, le CHUV et l'Hôpital du Chablais. Il se base sur un questionnaire de l'ASMAV auprès des médecins-assistants et interviewe plusieurs médecins et un médecin-assistant sur les conséquences organisationnelles et financières de la LTr.
