Faculty introduction

Join the Faculty of Law: study law and politics to build a healthy society!

No one lives in isolation. We live and cooperate together in a group we call society. It has been said since ancient times that “where there is a society, there is law.” Rules always exist in any society, and are the cornerstone of the law (laws) underpinning that society. Politics are to create law. However, is the mere existence of law and politics in itself enough? Can a society be said to be healthy if its laws and politics are unsound? The environment surrounding contemporary society is becoming ever more complex and diverse. “Do for Others” is the educational principle of Meiji Gakuin University. We strive to develop human resources who study law and politics under that banner and will be able to contribute extensively to society while demonstrating compassion. The Faculty of Law consists of four departments: Juridical Studies, Current Legal Studies, Global Legal Studies, and Political Science. Each of them offers distinctive lectures and seminars, and responds to a wide range of needs. Please come and study in the Faculty of Law with the aim of building a healthy society.
