Under "Litigation System," we developed five sub-directions: "Constitutional Court System," "General Litigation System," "Civil Litigation System," "Criminal Litigation System," and "Specialized Court Litigation System," proposing a total of 21 reform issues. Regarding the "Lawyer System," we focused on two main axes: "Amendments to the Lawyers Act" and "Reform of the Lawyer Examination System," proposing 10 legislative amendments and reform recommendations. In terms of "Technology Court," recognizing that the Judicial Yuan's digitalization efforts have achieved preliminary results, we identified four issues requiring continuous improvement: "Establishing a platform for judicial document exchange among judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys," "Standardizing judicial documents among judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys," "Promoting digital courtrooms," and "Reviewing the process of electronic case files and simplifying the case review procedure." For "Legal Education Reform," we proposed the reform opinion that "University legal education should be strengthened to integrate with legal practice," and submitted these to the Presidential Office Preparatory Committee for the National Congress on Judicial Reform. After the government's Judicial Reform Congress concluded, to monitor the government's implementation of various resolutions from the Congress, our Association, together with related organizations, jointly established the "Civil Alliance for Monitoring the Implementation of Judicial Reform Congress Resolutions" on October 6, 2017, hoping to enhance supervisory effectiveness through the combined efforts of various organizations.

After the National Bar Association held its 11th Board of Directors and Supervisors election on September 30, 2017, our Bar Association issued a special statement: "...we sincerely call upon the newly elected Directors and Supervisors of the National Bar Association to recognize the earnest expectations of the legal profession for 'single membership, nationwide practice,' abolish unreasonable restrictions on practice, strengthen the attorney organization, complete the amendment of the Lawyers Act as soon as possible, establish a National Bar Association with corresponding powers and responsibilities, and respond promptly to the high expectations for lawyer reform from all sectors, in order to safeguard the sound development of our country's legal system."

The preparation of the "Taiwan Lawyer Academy" aims to break free from the existing framework of legal education and lawyer training, and from a higher and broader perspective, to improve the cultivation of Taiwan's lawyers, in-service training, specialized education, and cross-disciplinary learning, in order to complete the training of Taiwan's lawyers, enhance their competitiveness, and cultivate their international capabilities.
