Former Justice Lin Ji-Dong stated: "The mission of the Introduction to Law is to provide a comprehensive and preliminary explanation of the fundamental principles of all laws. It aims to give those interested in studying law, or those who wish to gain basic legal knowledge, an overview of the legal system as a foundation for further study." In short, Introduction to Law serves two main purposes: To explore the common principles shared by various branches of law. To prepare students for in-depth study of specific legal fields. Accordingly, this course will follow these steps: Examining the fundamental principles common to all laws—such as the creation, repeal, application, and effect of laws. Studying specific branches of law, beginning with Civil Law.
