 Special
Features
- The
Institute Cooperates With The John Marshall Law School
of The United States To Confer Dual LL.M. Degrees.
The Institute of Technology Law is the first in Taiwan to
cooperate with a U.S. law school to confer LL.M. both in
Taiwan and in the U.S. The Institute has been the pioneer
in globalizing legal education in Taiwan.
- An
empirically-oriented study
The demonstration of the capacity of legal study requires
integration of theory and empirical study. Taiwan has inherited
majority of its currently in-force legal system from overseas,
including legislations and thought pattern. These legal
standards that have been set according to alien culture
and needs become questionable in such matters as local feasibility
and acceptance, and possibility of achieving expected outcomes.
All these questions need further research and clarification.
For this reason, the Institute of Technology Law goes beyond
law in book, utilizes social science research method, and
explores law-related facts. To explore law in action in
a concrete way from a viewpoint of a dynamic system, and
to explore the existence, operation, and influence of law
in its social context.
- Platform
for innovative interdisciplinary learning
Whenever we take an outside stance and judge the legal
system, we discover that society with modern technology
is full of pluralism, complexity, and complication. And
that is beyond the control of the traditional legal education
or the work of any discipline alone. For this reason,
a training program for competent people becomes imperative.
The Institute is committed to reorganizing law, technology,
industry, and the like, converging qualified personnel
for brainstorming and exchanging ideas, laying the technology
and industry foundation, broadening the vision of legal
education through innovative thinking, training legal
experts capable of integrating various disciplines, and
finally, making the idea of law and order an ingrained
habit for various phases of society.
- Internationally-renowned
legal center for high-tech industry
Taiwan has played an active role in world economy. Although
Taiwan has obviously influenced global industry, its extent
of internationalization in the field of law fails to keep
pace internationally. Since its inauguration, Institute
of Technology Law𠏋 claim to fame has been its pioneering
role in the promotion of a close link between local legal
education and global society. We seek to achieve this
objective through multidimensional environment of learning
and in-depth interaction and visitation with internationally-known
law schools and professional law firms. On one hand, this
will broaden the vision and increase competitiveness of
Taiwan𠏋 law practitioners. On the other hand, the world
legal academia and professionals will gain a better knowledge
of both legal and judicial systems in Taiwan. These activities
have initiated a platform to create an innovative legal
theory both locally and internationally.
- Training
of high-tech IP practitioners
Institute of Technology Law NCTU is formerly known
as Intellectual Property Program of the Management College
and the Legal Center for Enterprise & Entrepreneurship
of NCTU, which were founded in 1992 and 1996, respectively.
Over the years, the program trained more than three thousand
IP practitioners. At Hsinchu Science Park, the major area
for high-tech industry in Taiwan, 90% of IP professionals
were trained by NCTU. In addition, since 1997 the NCTU
has held annual National Intellectual Property and Technology
Law Symposium, which is also the largest as well as the
most important symposium to date in Taiwan.
- Convergence
of tehcnology and legal elites
Ever since the beginning of Institute, the goal has been
to train students capable of integrating the knowledge
of law and technology, to make this knowledge prevail
to the various phase of society, and thus broaden the
viewpoints of legal study. For this reason, there are
two groups of students with different backgrounds, the
Law-Group and the Technology-Group. The former is for
students who already have a law degree and want to improve
their ability in technology law issues. The latter is
for those students having graduated from other science
disciplines but wanting to accept legal training and integrating
legal and technology issues. Both groups learn and benefit
form each other.
