國立台灣大學法律學院身分法課程綱要　　　　　　　　　　　　　　戴東雄

I、教學目標

一、身分法為一學期之課程，每星期上四小時。民法共有五編，身分法為民法之一環，包括第四編之親屬法與第五編之繼承法。
二、身分法在規律人類身分關係及基於特定身分關係而發生財產之繼承，此身分關係以高度意思自治為主，而不同於財產法之法律行為，故其有特殊之價值判斷。
三、本課程之授課方法將理論與實務並重，故法條之分析與判例、解釋例均不能遺漏。又為訓練同學的推理能力，實例解說亦為教學之重點。至於外國立法例也在比較範圍內，期能把握身分法為來發展的方向。

Syllabus for the course of Identity Law

College of Law, National Taiwan University



I. Teaching goals:

1. This course of Identity Law is offered four hours a week and lasts for
one semester. Identity Law is part of the Civil Law, which consists of five
sections, among which Kinship Law (laws regarding marriage and relationship
among family members) in Chapter 4 and Succession Law in Chapter 5 are
classified as Identity Law.

2. The purpose of enacting Identity Law is to regulate people’s identity
and their relationships, and to settle matters about property succession
occurred as a result of specified identity or relationship among devisors and
successors. The ways to judge matters about these identity and relationship
are special and are different from legal actions taken according to Property
Law, since they are mainly determined by people’s own will.

3. Because this course focuses on both theories and practices, it will
include analysis of the meanings of laws and examples of judgments and
chancellors’ interpretations of laws. In addition, explanations of actual
cases also play an important part in order to sharpen students’ analytical
abilities. Finally, students will also have the chance to compare other
countries’ legislative examples with those of Taiwan for the purpose of
grasping the idea of how Identity Law will develop in the future.
