As far as I know, very few Taiwanese legal scholars use blogs to present their ideas and research (Professor Marx Chen at the Institute of European and American Studies, Academia Sinica, is the only exception. I am a long-term reader and big fan of his blog). In contrast, US legal scholars still rely on blogs to transmit legal information and ideas. One notable example is Professor Jack Balkin’s blog, Balkinization, which not only transmits legal information but also holds online symposium to foster instant discussions among legal scholars. Professor Lawrence Solum’s Legal Theory Blog inspires me a lot as well, especially on transmitting latest legal scholarship.
Even as a generation immersed in social media, I still find blogs to be a useful medium, either for listeners to absorb knowledge or for speakers to present their worldviews. To make my ideas more accessible and to share legal information, I decided to create this blog after my Threads account became totally unworkable.
I will post legal content based on what I read and think, mainly some preliminary thoughts. Topics will include Taiwan’s political and legal issues, the Taiwan Constitutional Court, US constitutional law, global AI regulation trends, freedom of speech, privacy law, judicial behavior, and jurisprudence. I hope this blog can serve as a platform where Taiwan legal scholars can communicate with the world.
Thank you to Kirin Chang for helping me construct this blog and to Libin Chen for taking tons of my pictures at Chicago.
