The webpage offers information about up-coming events held by CFLS, and other events related to our fields of interest. The webpage is established to raise awareness of the impact and importance of fundamental legal studies. In May, 2017, CFLS held the first “Research Camp on Fundamental Legal Studies” in Taiwan. Since 2019, we have organized “Musée Conference for Graduate Students" every year to encourage academic writing and have become a critical platform to facilitate conversations for both graduate students and faculty members.
