2011 Empirical Studies of Judicial Systems collects five peer-reviewed articles in Chinese. Professor Jiunn-Rong Yeh explores why setting judicial deadlines has become an important feature in Taiwan’s judicial review. Professor Wen-Chen Chang examines the influence of Justices’ studying-abroad backgrounds on how they cite foreign laws and cases in their separate opinions. Professor Chi-Ting Tsai looks into the effects of the presidential signing statements on statutory interpretations in the Federal Court of Appeals in the United States. Professor Jimmy Chia-Shin Hsu traces the recent divergence of fault standards in criminal and tort defamation cases in Taiwan as a result of complex interactions between law and politics. Professor Yun-Chien Chang demonstrates the gap between the co-ownership partition law in the book and the law in action; in addition, he finds no empirical evidence for the scholarly claim that co-ownership partition would generally lead to fragmentation of land rights. This volume is a helpful resource for researchers and students interested in constitutional law, criminal law, tort law, property law,
American law, and legal methodology.
