The law may seem distant to us, but have we ever thought about how our occupations might bring us unexpected legal troubles? Law-abiding civil servants can be wrongfully convicted, and those devoted to music and art can also find themselves entangled in lawsuits. How should we respond if we face legal issues?

Father Lai Goes to School! The Lesson of Law
Speakers／Lai Ting-fu Former Director of the Eighth River Management Office, Lai Ch'en Chun-yeh Wife of Lai Ting-fu
Moderator／Huang Chung-hao Project Manager, JRF
Lai Ting-fu, a water conservancy expert who served in water conservancy agencies for 32 years, has been involved in countless large and small river and coastline remediation projects across Taiwan, as well as dismantling gravel plants and cracking down on illegal sand mining. While serving as the Director of the Eighth River Management Office in Taitung, in order to open a temporary river access road for transporting gravel, he was falsely accused of accepting a bribe of NT$100,000 from a gravel operator. With the assistance of the JRF, the Control Yuan published an investigation report vindicating Lai Ting-fu in 2011, and efforts are still ongoing.
