董監事責任保險之功能與訴訟風險：臺灣之法實證分析
作者：陳俊元
簡介：本文以實證方法分析董監事責任保險於公司治理之功能，並檢驗了根本之問題：董監事之訴訟風險。本文分三部分，首先探討董監事責任保險之需求與功能是否會受到訴訟風險之影響、其次繼續針對信號假說進行實證檢驗，發現其較能得到支持、最後分析了購買董監事責任保險後可能之投機行為，結果發現投機行為之證據並不顯著，因此，本文主張我國並無強制購買董監事責任保險以及限制最高保額之必要。

作者：施文真
簡介：聯合國氣候變化綱要公約下之相關談判中，設計出的有關治理的四項指導原則，本文欲回答之核心研究問題為於設計國家氣候變遷財務機制的治理架構時，適用此四項指導原則，將帶來哪些啟示？此四項指導原則於國家氣候變遷財務機制的治理，是否扮演同樣重要的角色？此外本文於分析國家氣候變遷財務機制的治理時，將同時把雙邊氣候變遷財務機制的治理也作為研究對象。
邁向宗教團體主義？臺灣對於宗教團體之規範的未來
作者：林榮光
簡介：於國家法律權威與宗教團體之間的關係的不同理解，美國法學界近年來就「宗教團體主義」（religious institutionalism）之正當性所展開之辯論。本文分析此一辯論中之各方重要立場，並主張：有鑑於臺灣的社會文化背景，由Ira Lupu和Robert Tuttle所共同提出之觀點值得我國參考，並以此觀點分析臺灣大法官解釋中針對宗教團體自治權的一個新出現的觀點：「宗教團體的規範及活動應受制於國家法律的權威之下」、以及過去大法官解釋中就國家法律對於宗教團體之權威的潛在假設做出評論。
締約過失責任的法律定位：德國法與英國法的不同路徑
作者：李瀟洋
簡介：本文旨在從比較法之路徑探討在未來之民法典中如何形塑締約過失責任。締約過失的法律定位，具體而言即契約法中誠實信用原則之違反得否直接導致締約過失責任，以及締約過失責任在性質上是否是一種獨立於侵權責任的特別責任類型。本文將德國法與英國法兩個法域作為比較研究的對象，分析二者於上述問題所採之不同路徑，以供中國大陸立法者參考。本文的比較研究展現了德國法與英國法於締約階段責任制度的顯著不同，並試圖揭示隱含在兩個法域強烈對比中的相似的政策考量及制度安排，並以此為基礎，為中國大陸民法典中締約過失責任的定位提出建議。
