Features: Beyond organizing, analyzing, and critiquing the insights from traditional criminal procedure law textbooks and practical applications, this book attempts to break through tradition by redistributing the weight of criminal procedure law topics, shifting the focus of explanation to the structural principles of criminal procedure, coercive measures, evidence rules, evidence exclusion, and court proceedings. In the revised edition, the scope of explanation is expanded to include four major new systems introduced in 2001 (such as new regulations on searches and seizures), 2002 (such as the scope of judicial investigation, prosecution review, suspended prosecution system, and trial submission), and significant changes in evidence and trial chapters in 2003 (such as physical examinations, expert retention, hearsay rules, evidence exclusion, joint defendants, preparatory procedures, and court cross-examination). It strives to present a comprehensive and profound reflection on criminal procedure law by integrating both old and new knowledge, serving as a bridge between past and future for readers. Additionally, to "apply theory to practical cases," each chapter includes several cases to aid understanding, most of which are sourced or adapted from actual cases in Taiwan, embodying the principle that "the life of procedural law lies in its application." The book has a complete system, divided into four parts and fifteen chapters, introducing the basic concepts of administrative law, administrative organizations and civil servants' law, administrative actions, and administrative relief. The book focuses on theory, with practicality integrated throughout, and theory is given special emphasis. While ensuring the completeness of the administrative law system, it pays attention to the balance between complexity and simplicity. Not only does it grasp the true meaning of scholars in civil law countries through hand materials, but it also achieves excellent knowledge integration, to some extent resolving conflicts between different ideological concepts and logical approaches, making the book highly systematic and comprehensive in providing administrative law knowledge.
