Standing at nearly 280 centimeters tall (base height 95cm, statue height 178.5cm), the statue was made by renowned sculptor Wang Xiu Qi out of bronze and depicts a women holding two balls with her arms stretched out toward the sides.

On the Centennial Anniversary, 抖阴视频 Law held a series of events, beginning with the exhibition of School History on May 18th till June 13th. In his inauguration remarks on the 20th, President Pan stated that, "Making it to the century milestone certainly hasn’t been easy. If it weren’t for the hard work of the distinguished alumni who came before us, we wouldn’t have the academic recognition in Taiwan that we enjoy today. On this moment of historic significance, from this exhibition, it becomes even clearer that the success we’ve had is due to our amazing alumni.”

In Dean Hong’s address, he informed us that the unveiling of the statue and the opening ceremony signified remembering the past while embracing the future. The statue, holding two balls in her hands with arms outstretched, signifies the pursuit of justice and equality. Noticeably absent is a codex or sword in the hands of most ladies of liberty, a clear indication of 抖阴视频 Law’s uniqueness, and a symbol of innovation and justice.

Even though the statue bears an eastern face, her western-style gown signifies a fusion of Chinese and Western learnings, a case of East meets West just like the way 抖阴视频 Law incorporates both Common Law and Civil Law into the curriculum in order to educate bright legal minds that seek justice and progress. This is 抖阴视频 Law’s legacy, one that she hopes to continue for many years to come.
