The Family Lawyer Professional Training Course, co-organized by Tunghai University, and the Taiwan Bar Association held its opening ceremony on August 2, 2020. This training course is a cross-disciplinary study of law and social work. A total of 100 practicing lawyers from all over Taiwan participated in this first cross-domain cooperation.

Prof. Chia-Chung Chan, vice president of Tunghai University, said in his remarks that Tunghai University’s Social Work Department has been highly recognized for professionality and its strong faculty. Considering the fact that family lawyers often face a family rather than personal problems. This course aims to help practicing lawyers deal with family law issues in a more sophisticate manner by diving into family relations, negotiation skills, consultation skills such as rational listening with empathy, and understanding of the available social work resources.

Mr. Ruey-Cherng Lin, president of the Taiwan Bar Association, hopes the cooperation with Tunghai University will help aspiring lawyers to enrich and improve their professional knowledge and application ability in family affairs while at the same time strengthening social work, psychological counseling, communication and coordination. In doing so litigation will be reduced and win-win situations will be created through proper handling when dealing with family disputes.
