Development Characteristics
The Department of Law emphasizes teaching and researching the traditional jurisprudential education, which has stood the test of time and has become the mainstream of legal study. The Department has created two new programs: the two-year bachelor program for working professionals in 2001, and the LLM program in 2002. In 2003, the master’s degree for legal practitioners was also established. These diversified programs provide excellent legal education in southern Taiwan and inspire people to join the legal profession.
The Department offers a breathtaking array of courses, seminars, reading groups, which cover major areas of legal study and approach the law from a wide variety of perspectives. The Department aims to accomplish:
► A complete legal education and training for students.
► A comprehensive advanced legal study upon completion of an entrance examination for graduate students.
► An interdisciplinary approach integrating law and technology.

Goals
The curriculum of the traditional jurisprudential education comprises civil law, commercial law, criminal law, law of civil procedure, law of criminal procedure, constitutional law, administrative law, law of administrative procedure, private international law, public international law, enforcement law, jurisprudence, history of law institution, and so forth. In addition to enhancing the teaching and research work, the Department has introduced legal issues of labor and employment, environmental protection, technology transfer, intellectual property rights, and international trade into the curriculum to accommodate the needs of social development. The Department also encourages interdisciplinary education in technology to improve our teaching quality.

以「教學與研究發展系統的模式」,從大學部與研究所的教學任務內容作出發,按民、刑、公法三大方向,規劃一套一體與漸進式的教學與研究體系;本體系的優點在於:
(一)可讓學生在本系一路完成完整的法律人訓練。 
(二)自研究所階段才進入本系的學生,在通過本系的入學測驗之後也可即刻循本體系開始進階的學習階段。
(三)可以涵蓋所有基礎法學及科技整合的教學與研究。

藉由法學邏輯思維訓練,培養學生獨立思考的能力,去探索及發展自我。

國立高雄大學於民國89年2月1日成立,第一年經教育部核准成立六個學系,法律學系為其中之一,並自89學年度招生。 
本系著重於法學教育傳統科目的教學暨研究。傳統法學科目是歷經歲月洗鍊的法學精華,是目前法學教育的主流,是法學向新領域發展的基礎,因此必須紮實的厚植傳統法學科目之研究暨教學,才能為法學教育的長期發展奠定堅固的磐石。 
傳統法學教育科目主要指民法、商事法、刑法、民事訴訟法、刑事訴訟法、憲法、行政法、行政訴訟法、國際私法、國際公法、強制執行法、法理學、法制史…等。本系除了強化傳統法學之教學研究外,另將勞資、環保、技術移轉、智慧財產權、國際經貿等法律問題列為教學之重點,以因應社會發展之需要。另外,本系亦重視科技整合教育,提昇教學之品質。

Postgraduate Opportunities
Graduates may choose to pursue the advanced degree program in Taiwan or abroad. Other than being scholars in the future graduates can incorporate their legal knowledge with other academic disciplines to broaden their legal horizons. Graduates may take national examinations for legal professionals, such as judges, lawyers, and prosecutors. They can serve in the Government working in the judicial, judicial administration, or legislative fields. They can also join private corporations to provide legal and administrative services. It is with pleasure to report that 21 of our graduates passed the national examinations in 2006.

Future Outlook
Actively recruit more full time faculty.
In research, initiate more international academic exchange by inviting well-nown international scholars for conferences and seminars.
In teaching, offer more law related courses.
Encourage graduate students to attend national and
international conferences and assist them in paper
publication and presentation.
