Institutum Iurisprudentiae, Academia Sinica (IIAS) celebrates its tenth anniversary in 2021.

Despite the uncertainty of our times and the ups and downs of lives, the Institute is committed as always — in the spirit of the proverb ‘ten years forging a sword’ — to setting a model of outstanding legal scholarship and leading Taiwan’s legal community’s participation in the international fora. The Institute continues to pay close attention to social context, recruiting talents from various fields to reinforce legal research and work on both fundamental and emerging problems. The papers in this anthology provide a fine record of the lively memories which transcend time and space, of the struggles throughout the years, and of the intellectual worlds of the legal minds. The heart of jurisprudence pounds between words and lines, invoking boundless energy of the intellects. This is truly the best way of recollecting the past decade.

The title of the anthology, The Way to Law, contains multiple meanings. The methods, functions and purposes of the law are of paramount importance. To discover the law, the research of law must follow the right ways; the law is a normative order to settle disputes and conflicts, for which purposes the laws are sought and discovered; the law is the art of fairness and justice, the lawful fulfilment of which guides the use of law. In short, easy though it appears, the work is hard to come by. This is a reminder for the faculty members of IIAS and my learned friends.
