於吾人日常生活中，食、衣、住、行、育、樂等為達生活目的之行為，皆難全然摒除於消費關係以外。由此可想見：有關消費者之權益所在、消費者權益受損時的救濟管道等課題，實具有高度重要性。於1994年，以保護消費者權益為目標之消費者保護法終在萬眾期待下問世，而隨著社會背景的快速變遷，包括如：網路普及致交易型態發生了巨大改變，因此衍生出不同面向之消費糾紛、又或近年來連續爆發之食品安全事件等，在在凸顯出消費者保護工作亦須與時俱進，以及消費者對於自身權益當有所認識之實益性。
為使修課學生能夠系統性的掌握消費者保護法之架構，並進一步培養其面對消費糾紛所涉法律問題之能力，本課程除由授課教師講解該法之現行規範內容外，並將適時以具體之消費糾紛個案為例，俾助其檢視理論運用於實務之狀況、以及理論與實務間的落差。此外，授課教師亦將於適當處引介外國立法例，以拓展修課學生之法學視野。

In our daily lives, it is difficult to completely exclude food, clothing, shelter, transportation, education, entertainment and other behaviors to achieve the purpose of life, and it is difficult to completely exclude them from the consumption relationship. It can be imagined that issues such as the rights and interests of consumers and the channels for relief when consumers’ rights and interests are damaged are of high importance. In 1994, the Consumer Protection Law with the goal of protecting consumer rights was finally promulgated to much anticipation. However, with the rapid changes in the social background, including: the popularity of the Internet has led to huge changes in transaction patterns, resulting in consumer disputes from different aspects, or the continuous outbreak of food safety incidents in recent years, etc., it has highlighted the need for consumer protection work to keep pace with the times, and the practicality of consumers being aware of their own rights and interests.
In order to enable students to systematically grasp the structure of consumer protection law and further develop their ability to face the legal issues involved in consumer disputes, this course will not only have teachers explain the current normative content of the law, but will also use specific consumer dispute cases as examples to help them examine the application of theory in practice and the gap between theory and practice. In addition, teachers will also introduce foreign legislation where appropriate to expand the legal horizons of students taking the course.
