"Taiwan post-war elementary and middle school legal education image database." The statistical database for the Japanese colonial period currently contains a cumulative total of 103,732 data items, the legal document database contains 11,007 data items, the legal image database contains 736 data items, the legal and social change survey database contains 5 survey reports, and the legal change image and audiovisual file database contains 232 audio and video files. Since the start of database establishment, the research personnel taking part have been gradually accumulating and arranging documentary and image data, designing, testing, and analyzing questionnaire survey questions, and integrating the resulting data on the database website for open use by all parties as a reference and source of citations. In addition, the project has also issued an e-bulletin containing data overviews and analysis. Apart from serving as instructional materials for jurisprudence education and a reference concerning papers on jurisprudence, the database also provides reference information for use in research on history and literature. The Taiwan Database for Empirical Legal Studies website has been visited a cumulative total of 67,812 times thus far, and this figure represents a large jump from the 44,801 visits of just a few years ago, which indicates that use of the database is gradually spreading and applications of its information are bearing fruit.
