法学教育与法制背景之间息息相关。台湾近一百多年来,历经清朝、日治、民国三次不同政权更迭。1980年,台湾解除戒严统治、终止动员戡乱时期后,政治趋于自由化、民主化,执政当局对于高等教育管制渐趋松绑,法律系所遂伴随大学数量上升亦呈现高速发展之盛况。但是,整体而言,台湾除法律人以外,社会法治化程度可谓不高。1990年以后,法律系、所虽然逐年增加,但因政策因素导致法律人予人之图像即为法曹,政府及社会大众似乎认为“法律知识乃法律人之事”。本文因此尝试提出台湾法学教育未来可能方向,以供参考、研议。 The relationship between legal education and the legal system is closely related. For nearly a hundred years in Taiwan, after the Qing Dynasty, Japan and the Republic of China changed three times in different regimes. In 1980, after Taiwan lifted its rule of martial law and terminated the period of mobilization and disorganization, politics tended to be liberalized and democratized. The governing authorities gradually relaxed their control over higher education, and the law department was accompanied by the rapid increase in the number of universities. However, on the whole, except for legal persons in Taiwan, the degree of social rule of law is not high. Since 1990, although the number of law departments has increased year by year, it is law and order for the legal person to give due consideration to the policy factors. The government and the general public seem to think that “legal knowledge is the matter of legal persons.” This article therefore attempts to propose the possible future direction of law education in Taiwan for reference and research.
