Judicial Reform Lectures & Seminars
Last Updated: May 2, 2026
About This Event Series
Judicial reform is not a solo act for professionals; it requires the understanding and participation of every single citizen. The JRF has long cultivated the promotion of legal education, using activity designs close to everyday life to make complex judicial issues easy to understand and spark discussion.
Whether you care about wrongful conviction relief, digital human rights, or want to understand legal issues around you, you can find an entry point in our events. Individuals, schools, and community groups are all welcome to participate.
📍 Event locations vary, with sessions held in Taipei and Taichung, and nationwide tours arranged depending on the theme. Please stay tuned for detailed information in individual event announcements, or subscribe to our newsletter to catch the latest updates.
