This course is concerned with the United States and its relationship with the international legal system. This includes a discussion of the domestic U.S. laws that affect and incorporate international law including the U.S. power to make international agreements, the role of U.S. courts in the interpretation of international law, and the use of military force. It also includes a review of U.S. foreign policy case studies that reveal the U.S. government’s particular approach to interpreting and applying international law. These case studies will include: the use of military force; the settlement of disputes using third-party judicial bodies; and the law of the sea. Where appropriate, the course will discuss how these United States views of international law differ from that of China or Taiwan.

It will maintain a specific focus on how new tech and constitutional rights interact. Many examples will come from the US context, but the focus will be global, not exclusively America. Relevant US Supreme Court cases related to media law, as well as international law treaties and leading scholars’ articles, will play roles in enhancing students’ opportunities for analysis. In terms of content, the course will be divided into four main sections: background on basic ideas of freedom of the press, drawing from the US context but with a broader scope. Second, in-depth media law issues including net neutrality, content regulation, copyright, etc. Third will be a detailed investigation, including practical, business-oriented examples, of intellectual property law and its impact and influence. Finally, the course will conclude by looking at the future: artificial intelligence, environmental threats and opportunities, humans’ role in an increasingly technological world, etc. In this course, student work and assignments will not be limited to exclusively heavy reading of hundreds of pages of cases, translation of arcane and difficult passages, etc. The goal will be broad-based comprehension as well as cultivation of ability to think, discuss, and write critically about these important issues. The focus, of both readings as well as student writing, will be quality, not quantity. The teaching style of this course will: A) Be student-centered B) Comprehensive, and C) Ask why and how, not only what the law is. Students will need to speak and work in groups much more than potentially experienced in some other courses. And, as mentioned above in Evaluation, the semester grade will be determined by a midterm and final examination, as well as in-class participation and assignment work. Course content: Weeks 1-4: Freedoms of speech, assembly, and the press, focus on US constitutional law and broader related issues Weeks 5-8: Technical aspects of media law including content regulation, copyright, media law as a busin Two main goals: 1) Give students a broad-based understanding of key constitutional, economic, and human rights issues related to media law and new technology. 2) Improve students’ ability to analyze these topics in English.

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.

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. College of Law Main Campus Dear students, For those who want to take the course of [Introduction to Common Trust Law] but didn’t get enrolled in the class in the first place, please come to get the registration code for the course from TA Sandy in room 2406 on the 4th floor of Wan Tsai Research Hall (the same building of where the law library is) during 9:00~12:00 in the morning on Feb. 20 (Mon.).

In Germany, constitutional law and the jurisprudence of the Federal Constitutional Court are of paramount importance to the legal system and to the political process. 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.

This course introduces techniques that the student can use to construct simple models for analyzing and understanding the performance of systems that they are interested in. (1) To introduce students to analytical modeling of system performance. Computer systems are complex, making it hard to understand their behavior and predict their performance. Students will learn some mathematical techniques for modeling system performance, and exercise their modeling skill. (2) To broaden the student’s interest in Computer Science. Computer Science is increasingly multi-disciplinary; for example, data streams bring together issues in hardware, networking and databases. This course will give students broad exposure to analytical modeling in different areas of Computer Science.

Virtual reality (VR), the use of computer modeling and simulation that enables a person to interact with an artificial three-dimensional (3-D) visual or other sensory environment. VR applications immerse the user in a computer-generated environment that simulates reality through the use of interactive devices, which send and receive information and are worn as goggles, headsets, gloves, or body suits. In a typical VR format, a user wearing a helmet with a stereoscopic screen views animated images of a simulated environment. The illusion of “being there” (telepresence) is effected by motion sensors that pick up the user’s movements and adjust the view on the screen accordingly, usually in real time (the instant the user’s movement takes place). Thus, a user can tour a simulated suite of rooms, experiencing changing viewpoints and perspectives that are convincingly related to his own head turnings and steps. Wearing data gloves equipped with force-feedback devices that provide the sensation of touch, the user can even pick up and manipulate objects that he sees in the virtual environment.
