| 授業の目的 【日本語】 | | | | | 授業の目的 【英語】 | | | In this lecture I will try to give the basic understanding and knowledge on Japanese legal system to the international students who are not familiar with it. To do so, I will take up not only it directly, but also some non-legal contexts around it, such as historical, cultural, economic , and political contexts. Japanese legal system has been influenced by for western legal systems since Meiji Restoration (of course, there was Chinese influence before it, but this influence will be left out in this lecture). Some foreign legal systems function well in Japanese legal system but others not. To find conditions of well function, I will take up ‘dispute resolution’ controversy. |
| | | 到達目標 【日本語】 | | | | | 到達目標 【英語】 | | | First thing that students attending lectures should do is to get the basic understanding and knowledge on Japanese legal system. These are a prerequisite for studying Japanese legal system in professional manner. Second thing that I and you should do is to think about what Japanese legal system is like and about why it function well (or malfunction). To think in this manner is promote your reliable judgement about Japanese legal system. |
