Studying law from a wide perspective to develop individuals able to discern problems and open up new possibilities.The educational aim of the Faculty of Law is to develop individuals who can independently create and sustain a free and equal society that respects “the other,” especially those who are weak. We do this by having students learn the foundational legal order that underlies our society and acquire a solid foundation of knowledge and expertise. The Faculty of Law comprises three departments. The Department of Law aims to develop “true legal professionals” who can contribute to society by using their expert knowledge of the law. In the Department of Current Legal Studies, students study the cutting-edge fields of consumer law, corporate law, and environmental law, making extensive use of computer technology in the process. In the Department of Political Science, students examine political problems from a comprehensive standpoint encompassing science, history, philosophy, ideology, etc. In all of these departments, we provide a curriculum with which students are able to acquire foundational knowledge of the law and then deepen their own problem awareness through case studies and seminars. Since their studies are always connected to actual society, student learning takes place with a constant awareness of the following questions: “Why do we study?” and “How do we use what we study in society?”
