Applications and nominations are invited for the position of the Dean of the College of Law, National Chengchi University, Taipei, Taiwan. The Dean is the chief academic and administrative officer for the College and reports to the President. The position is available as of August 1, 2021. The initial term is for 2 years with a renewable second term.
From 1946 to 1993, the College of Law was comprised of the Department of Law as well as ten other departments, including departments of Political Science, Diplomacy, Economics, Sociology, Public Finance, etc. In 1993, in order to recognize and highlight the differences between social sciences and the study of jurisprudence, all departments except for the Department of Law were removed from the College of Law. With the approval from the Ministry of Education, the Department of Law itself became the College of Law.
After undergoing the transformation, in view of the trend of highly specialized studies in legal education and academic curricular activities in German, Japan, and the United States, the College of Law, as a single department of general legal education, set up eight specialized research centers including the Center for Civil Law, the Center for Criminal Law, the Center for Public Law, the Center for Economic and Financial Law, the Center for Fundamental Jurisprudence, and the Center for Labor and Social Law to achieve the goals of one department and multiple institutes and research centers.
To keep up with the trend of life-long learning and improve the combination among fields of law and other professionals, the Master of Laws Program for Executives was launched with approval from the Ministry of Education in 2003. Furthermore, in order to meet the demands of an increasingly diversified society as well as to cultivate more professionals of the interdisciplinary integration with legal education, the Institute of Law and Inter-discipline (ILI) was established in 2004 , which mainly admits students of non-law majors and is focused on the integration between law and special professional fields.
