Preface

Taiwan is a Chinese speaking country that is governed by civil law. Thus, Taiwan¡¦s statutory regulations, complaints and judgments, as well as a majority of its law school textbooks and supplements, are all written in Chinese. In fact, the Court Organization Act and the Attorney Regulation Act, both expressly provide that the judge is required to use the Chinese while conducting proceedings in court, and all documents submitted by attorneys in the course of their professional work must be drafted in Chinese characters as approved. Moreover, a non-citizen licensed to practice law within the R.O.C.¡¦s territory is required to use the Chinese either in court proceedings or at an investigation procedure.

Due to the substantial increase in transnational cases, English has become the standard language for transnational litigations. In order to familiarize law students and members of the legal profession with English legal terms of art, law schools in Taiwan have long ago introduced courses of Anglo American Law. Scholars did not until recently, however, attempt to interpret Taiwan¡¦s law in English through various teaching methods.

As of 2011, Taiwan¡¦s Bar and Judicial Exams have incorporated an additional subject¡XLegal English. In accordance with the standards established by the Ministry of Examinations, the Legal English subject evaluates the examinees¡¦ ability to read English newspaper articles related to law, court decisions, and commonly used legalese. Besides evaluating the examinees¡¦ English comprehension, the purpose of incorporating this extra subject into the Exams is also to promote the ability of future lawyers and judges to read and interpret foreign court decisions.

This book address provides an in depth analysis of the following topics: Torts, Contracts, Securities Regulations, Criminal Law and Procedures, and Constitutions. The book also highlights other aspects of laws in Taiwan, such as the legal systems, and International Aspects of R.O.C. Law. Our vision is to provide legal education and basic legal terms in English to prospective lawyers, judges, those currently practicing in the profession, as well as give foreigners a general understanding of the laws of Taiwan. Additionally, the book will begin each chapter with a cover story to provide readers with a general idea of the topic covered in the chapter. At the end of the chapter, the book will give readers an opportunity to examine their understanding of the material through a self-quiz.

The writers of this book are faculty members of the College of Law, National Taipei University, all of whom studied law both in Taiwan and the United States. They all teach courses in their areas of expertise and have all conducted extensive research on Anglo-American legal terminology. Additionally, in order to bolster the accuracy of this book, we thank Tiffany Wang and Jessica Chu, two extremely talented young ladies receiving their legal education in California, for helping the editing work of this book.
