2018 Taichung Spring Special Series|Innocence Rescue Project: Public Interest and Human Rights Lectures
Last edited: 2026-08-29
Issues involving migrant workers, forensic science, death penalty defense, gender, the environment, and labor rights arise frequently in legal practice. As human rights awareness rises, these topics are drawing greater public attention, which in turn has driven an increase in related litigation and legal disputes. However, because practical precedent in these areas remains relatively scarce, the Human Rights Protection Committee of the Taichung Bar Association and the Taichung Office of the Judicial Reform Foundation have jointly organized a series of thematic lectures — aimed at helping lawyers and other practitioners build the skills and expertise needed to handle such non-routine cases, and at fostering greater specialization within the profession. Practicing lawyers and specialists in these fields have been invited to share the challenges they have encountered, along with the legal arguments and defense strategies they have developed. Through dialogue and exchange between speakers and attendees, participants will gain a deeper, more practical understanding of these specialized areas of law.
