Law of Contracts

Anglo-American Contract Law is a case-study course conducted in English. We use the following textbook: John P. Dawson et al., Contracts–Cases & Comment (Foundation Press: 10th edition, 2013). Students are required to read the assigned reading and brief the case if called upon. After each case is briefed by student, professor will guide the discussions. Students are encouraged to well prepare and participate discussion in the classes. Through the studies of cases of various topics under Anglo-American Contract Law, this course aims to teach students not only the important rules and principles of common law contracts but also the skill to read cases as well as issue-finding ability. Students will learn how to write brief and orally brief the case. Discussions provide students to think of viable arguments from different aspects and angles with justification and reasoning.

Introduction to the Common Law Trust

This course introduces students to the common law trust, famously described by Maitland as ‘the most distinctive achievement of English lawyers’. The trust is a device which allows for the management of rights, both personal and proprietary, for the benefit of others or for certain permitted purposes. So, for example, a person might set up a trust to manage rights for his or her infant children, for the purposes of investment, for securitisation, to relieve poverty in a particular city, and many other purposes. In this respect, the trust is an extremely flexible instrument, which is now being copied in many civil law jurisdictions. The topics to be covered are as follows: 1. What is a trust? 2. Principal categories of trusts 3. The uses of trusts 4. Creating trusts 5. Trusts for purposes 6. Limits of trusts 7. The administration of trusts 8. The position of settlors and beneficiaries 9. Remedies for breach of trust 10. The role of the court 11. Position of third parties TA :陳詠(Sandy Chen) E-mail :R02A41010@ntu.edu.com The course aims to help students understand: (1) the core principles, topics, and cases of the common law trust; (2) the legal methodology employed by common law jurists; (3) the legal style of the common law tradition.

Introduction to German Constitutional Law

Besides, various elements of German constitutional law have heavily influenced the development of constitutional law in other countries. The course aims at providing a concise overview of the structures and contents of German constitutional law (branches of government, democracy, rule of law, social state principle, fundamental rights etc.). Also, the intricate relationship of constitutional law to public international law and to European Union law will be investigated.
