西方大學的原型發源於歐洲中世紀，而法學居於當時大學七藝之一，不但有關心現行法的專業淑世面向，也有博雅公民放眼世界的面向，身為法律繼受國的台灣，法學教育除了提供國家考試必要之法學知識之外，也透過本課程針對東洋、西洋不同法制進程下，法文化的演變介紹，開拓視野，瞭解全球化下的東亞法學，逐步走向國際化，養成具有國際視野文化關懷的法律人

The prototype of Western universities originated in the European Middle Ages, and law was one of the seven arts in universities at that time. It not only had a professional and secular aspect that was concerned about the current law, but also a liberal citizen with a global perspective. As a legal successor country, legal education in Taiwan not only provides the legal knowledge necessary for national examinations, but also introduces the evolution of legal culture under the different legal processes in the East and the West through this course, broadens horizons, understands East Asian jurisprudence under globalization, gradually moves towards internationalization, and cultivates legal professionals with international perspective and cultural concern.

使學生瞭解法制史之意義及重要性，鑑往知來---在以古為鑑下去省思中西法律文化的衝擊，並進而反省如何使法律文化生根。

To enable students to understand the significance and importance of legal history and learn from the past - to reflect on the impact of Chinese and Western legal culture by using the past as a mirror, and then reflect on how to make legal culture take root.
