Goals of the Course

This seminar provides students opportunities to learn and discuss the development of family and children’s law and policies in Japan. Students learn current family issues as well as functioning of the legal system for family relationships and problems under Japanese social context.

Each student picks one paper from the list (or more, according to the number of participants), prepare power point presentation. The presentation slides need to contain (1) summary of the paper: what is explained and discussed in the material and (2) several discussion points for class discussion.

Students must submit an after-presentation report according to the instruction privided at the class.

Students may also be required to submit final report according to the class size.

Students other than the reporter must read papers in advance and actively participate in discussion. All the students are expected to make at least one comment at every class.
