National Taiwan University Law Journal was founded in 1971. Its mission is to provide a forum for regular publication of academic papers, aiming at promoting and enhancing domestic legal scholarship. Over the past several decades, our journal has established itself as the leading and best law journal in Taiwan as well as in the entire Mandarin-speaking world. It has been listed by the TSSCI (Taiwan Social Science Citation Index) since the latter’s launch in 2000. This journal is now published on a quarterly basis, appearing in March, June, September and December. Starting from 2011, a special issue is to be published between July and October. On top of the reviews of developments in the laws of Taiwan, this annual special issue calls for papers on a topic of significance in the hope of stimulating more-in-depth legal research and academic dialogues.
