Taichung Office
Central Taiwan's legal reform hub, deeply rooted in the region and connected to the local community

JRF's Taichung Office continues to maintain a local presence, deeply cultivating Taiwan's rule of law and democracy, and aiming to more effectively connect with local resources on its existing foundation. We curate exhibitions, host lectures and event series, and offer venue rentals, creating a space where citizens, students, and partner organizations in central Taiwan can meet, discuss, and take action.

What We Do in Taichung

Curation ｜ Visualizing Public Issues

Each year, we curate thematic exhibitions related to justice, human rights, and social issues, transforming abstract legal concepts and wrongful convictions into exhibition spaces that visitors can step into, experience, and reflect upon.

Lectures & Empowerment ｜ Bringing Legal Education to Central Taiwan

We host the "Thinking Justice TALK" series, campus moot courts, debate competitions, summer camps, and other activities, allowing students and citizens in central Taiwan to understand the justice system in ways closer to everyday life.

Local Connections ｜ Uniting Civil Groups in Central Taiwan

We assist with case appeals and issue advocacy in central Taiwan while opening our space for rental, serving as a shared hub for civil society groups, student associations, and local partners.

We Believe: Legal reform happens not only in courtrooms and the Legislative Yuan, but also in every exhibition, every lecture, and the questions and actions that every participant takes away with them.
