The establishment of the Institute reflects a need to prepare future legal experts capable to respond to the modern legal order and contribute to the betterment of our society. Legal education in the 21st century faces enormous challenges. In the past, legal education did not provide students with opportunities to study macroeconomics and offered little training in financial and business law. Thus, our institute is aware of the need to reform our education system and to provide greater training for our future law experts who will be prepared to respond to these challenges in the coming future. As scholars and students of law, we must ask ourselves whether the current legal respond to these emerging challenges and whether the current legal education is sufficient to prepare the next generation of legal experts to face the emerging challenges to law and society. Recognizing the abovementioned developments in legal studies, NTU College of Law established the Graduate Institute of Interdisciplinary Legal Studies, designed to admit students with strong background in other fields to be trained as legal professionals and researchers. We have a strong belief that all fields of studies including economics, political science, commerce, sociology and philosophy, can be integrated into the studies of law. The College of Law at National Taiwan University has its long tradition of legal research and legal education. National Taiwan University prides itself as being the most prestigious institution of higher learning in Taiwan and offers a comprehensive curriculum in hundreds of fields. Thus, the College of Law has experience and resources needed to facilitate interdisciplinary learning. We hope that the Institute will become the most prominent institution that trains future legal practitioners and scholars with particular focus on technology, sustainable development, human rights protection, constitutionalism, finance, taxation, economics, trade and national development.
