A research about the expansion of modern Japanese law in Asia and its impact on present Taiwanese law

本研究的主要目的是研究近代日本法律在亚洲的扩张及其对现今台湾法律的影响。为使本研究有一个坚实的基础，我们制作了“台湾法律文献资料资料库”和“中国法律、殖民地台湾法律、近代（前）满洲国法律的日文文献资料资料库”等资料库。不断收集全新的基础资料和历史史料。编写出版台湾现行法律论著、中国近代法史研究手册、明清时期法律顾问论著等多部。同时也为社会提供了一些有关中国近代法史，特别是民法制定过程的新信息。
