In today’s world where people’s values are diversifying and their society is facing rapid changes, various issues are emerging on a global scale as a result of economic and information globalization and growing concerns about the environment. What the world needs in these times of change and challenges are ways to balance interests and identify problems that are unique to jurisprudence. The Department of Law develops not only legal knowledge but also social coordination skills in order to become a legal expert who can play an active role in solving new problems. Studying law is much more than just memorizing the words on legal documents. Instead, the program emphasizes problem-solving skills based on legal thinking, examines the economic environment and social consciousness behind disputes, and considers the significance and limitations of legal theories.


Curriculum


In addition to the basic subjects The Japanese Constitution, Civil Law, and Criminal Law, the program offers a full range of related subjects such as politics, international relations, and environmental issues. Students will develop basic concepts of jurisprudence and acquire the ability to fully understand and rationally resolve conflicting interests and arguments on today’s legal issues. Examples include, organ transplants upon the brain-death of donors and dual surnames. In the first year, students study The Japanese Constitution, focusing on basic human rights, and Civil Law to consider legal issues in civil life. In the second year, students study The Japanese Constitution, Law of Obligations, Criminal Law, and other required courses to learn the governance structure and the course model. In the third year, students take a variety of elective courses, and in the Seminar in the fourth year, they hone their research, presentation, and discussion skills by making full use of the knowledge they have acquired up to that point.
