The Institutum Iurisprudentiae, Academia Sinica (IIAS), will host the Legal History in Action Workshop on the 6th and 7th of May, 2015, in Taipei, Taiwan. The topic of the workshop is Writing Down Indigenous Customs. With a practical intent to pave the way for an effective application of indigenous customs in court, this workshop will invite leading and emerging legal historians and anthropologists to discuss what contemporary Taiwan can learn from the medieval West as well as the indigenous peoples’ contact with the civil law tradition in South America.
