Last edited: 2026-07-27
With the rise of human rights awareness, many issues are receiving increasing attention from the public today, and there is a growing number of related litigation cases and legal rights disputes. However, since relevant legal practical insights remain relatively rare, in order to enable lawyers and related practitioners to grasp the skills and expertise when encountering these atypical litigation cases, and thereby foster professional division of labor, we have specially invited professional lawyers and professionals in this field to share the problems they have encountered, as well as legal arguments and defense strategies. Through dialogue and interaction between the speakers and attendees, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the profession in this field.

Book Introductions
〈Tell Me Why You Killed〉
Could everyone, as ordinary as you and me, become a murderer?
A devoted husband who poisoned his long-ill wife, an unwed mother who smothered her newborn baby, a violent offender trapped in delusions and hallucinations...
A review of nine of the most authentic cases in a forensic psychiatrist's career,
exploring the most subtle and blurred boundaries between criminals and ordinary people, madness and sanity, abnormality and soundness.
〈The Method of Killing Without Hatred〉
Kill anyone will do, anyway I just want to be sentenced to death!
Why would someone degenerate into a perpetrator of random killing?
Why, as a family member of a victim, is he still willing to serve as defense counsel for a random killer?
〈Prison: I Came, I Saw, I XX〉
This book is the author's personal experiences and observations in Taiwanese prisons, which not only describes the various aspects of prison life, regulations, and precautions, but also deeply analyzes the roots of Taiwan's judicial chaos. Those who have never been involved in a lawsuit will never know how absurd Taiwan's judicial system is; those who have never entered prison cannot comprehend how deplorable the human rights conditions in Taiwanese prisons are...
