abstract

On March 19, 2021, Professor Wang was invited by the College of Law, National University of Kaohsiung to give a speech at its International Conference Hall. By reviewing Professor Wang's experiences in studying and writing about civil law, he illustrated the development and contributions of civil law jurisprudence in Taiwan over the past fifty years. In his speech, Professor Wang shared several cases and Supreme Court decisions, describing his involvement in the formation and development of civil law through the process of writing “Research on the Theory and Precedents of Civil Law,” and the interaction between theory and practice, as well as his use of legal methodology to analyze Supreme Court decisions and construct a legal system. Professor Wang points out the importance of legal education and case study, and uses his experience in Germany studying civil law to emphasize that it is vital for legal education in terms of training in the basis of a claim and thinking about its application of law. The development of jurisprudence lies in the reflection and progress of legal methodology, and judges deal with cases and guide the development of jurisprudence at the same time. Judges interpret and build the law further through court decisions, which initiates the development of laws and keeps them improving. Theories are given lives by court decisions, and decisions are formed into rules or principles with the assistance of scholars. Through the synergy of jurisprudence and theories, the fruits and creativity of our civil law are constructed. Professor Wang believes that the formation of legal principles and the exploration of legal problems depends on the people who meet them, and the process of law creation and formation is contributed by the participation and efforts of many people. He expects that legal professionals should have this belief and find his vocation to guide and build the law into progress.
