The course will concentrate on injuries involving physical harms, although mental disturbance in connection with these physical harms will also be considered. Most of the coverage will involve American tort law, but there will be occasional references to British cases and applications. At the completion of this section of the course, students should be able to: 1)identify and describe major theories of Anglo-American tort law; 2)analyze and understand common law case decisions; 3)apply legal reasoning to factual situations; 4)understand how tort law fits within the framework of the US legal system College of Law Main Campus The class requires active, regular participation in and preparation for classroom discussions. Much of the class will be conducted through what is known as a “Socratic dialogue,” in which the professor will lead students through a series of questions and answers, based on the assigned cases and other materials. I hope to learn from you about tort law in the Republic of China and elsewhere in Asia, just as you learn about tort law in the United States of America and other nations applying Anglo-Saxon common law principles. Please read and analyze all of the assigned materials before class to facilitate discussions. Regular and punctual attendance will be required, as mastery of the written material alone will be insufficient to master the subject-matter. The examination will be an open-book exam. Students who wish to use laptops on the exam may do so. Robert M.

The teaching style of this course will: A) Be student-centered B) Comprehensive, and C) Consider why and how, not only what the law is. The professor will encourage students to think about challenging societal and legal problems, give their own ideas, and consider international perspectives. Three main goals: 1) Understand the US Constitution and key cases in US domestic context. 2) Think independently about the universality of constitutional issues. 3) Do both of the above at a high level of reading, writing, listening, and speaking English fluency.

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.
