Department of Law
Sincerity in everything from personal human relationships to involvement
in international society is what brings about social justice.
|
|
The curriculum of the Department is comprised of attractive courses,
focusing mainly on the Book of Major Laws, and perceptively grasps
social trends. The Department boasts a variety of courses that cover
the latest research or development, such as criminal policy and NPO
Law, foreign law courses on American Law, EU Law, etc. and
international courses on international trade law, etc. The
diversification of the types of courses offered is high when compared
to the faculties of law at other universities. During their first and
second years, students will first take four entry level courses to study
the fundamental essentials. In addition, they will mainly choose from
several required electives courses that offer a high degree of freedom
for students in terms of being able to learn according to their
interests. In their second year, students will choose one out of six
courses (General Law Course, Business Law and Practice Course,
Public Administration and Politics Course, Legal Profession Course,
Adjunct Legal Profession Course, and International Liaison Law
Course) in light of their perceived future careers. During their third and
fourth year, students will conduct in-depth research in their areas of
specialty, mainly through seminars. The Department offers its own
overseas short-term training program available in four countries. We
also offer many courses offered in English for studying law. Students
of Aoyama Law can thus enjoy a privileged educational environment.
