2018 Taichung Summer Festival | Innocent Relief Project Limited Lecture Series
Last edited: 2026-07-27
Issues such as migrant workers, scientific appraisal, death penalty defense, gender, environment, and labor frequently arise in legal practice. With the rise of human rights awareness, these issues have garnered increasing public attention, leading to a growing number of related litigation cases and legal rights debates. However, practical legal insights on these matters remain relatively scarce.
To enable lawyers and relevant practitioners to master the skills and professional expertise when encountering such atypical litigation cases, thereby fostering specialized division of labor, the Human Rights Protection Committee of the Taichung Bar Association and the Taichung Office of the Judicial Reform Foundation have planned a series of thematic lectures. They have invited professional lawyers in these fields, NGO representatives, doctors, labor union representatives, self-help group members, and other professionals to share the problems they have encountered, along with legal arguments and defense strategies. Through dialogues and exchanges between speakers and attendees, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the expertise required in these fields. The lectures are scheduled to be held every other Wednesday evening for six consecutive weeks from April 11 to June 20, 2018.
