We have
introduced a course system that addresses our students' interests
and aspirations concerning their future and their profession.
Our system enables students to choose from a wide selection
of occupations, whether or not they plan to take the national
bar examination, enter a law school, become corporate executives
or public servants in charge of judicial affairs, or simply
remain as citizens or consumers who can effectively employ their
legal knowledge in their daily lives. Even if students change
their future plan in the middle of the course, the system is
flexible enough to allow them to take subjects suited to their
new goals. |

Cooperation with
Extension Center
Some of the programs under the new curriculum, including
those for the national bar examination and the law school,
are integrated with Extension Center's S course (special
lectures) and license classes, and these help students
to focus on their objectives and improve their learning
efficiency.
"Course system" and "Programs"
We have established a new course system with various programs
specifically designed for certain professions. This helps
students formulate clear plans for their future and
assists in the promotion of systematic and efficient learning.
Introduction of a "Grade System"
We have introduced a grade system whereby students learn
specialized subjects step by step as the school year proceeds.
Grades are divided into three categories: G1 for introductory
subjects, G2 for core subjects and G3 for advanced subjects.
Subjects are classified into their related fields. The
grade system specifies the subjects that should be taken
and their order in each field.
"Special lectures" and "Interdisciplinary
Subjects"
We have initiated special lectures that allow students
to acquire more advanced knowledge to help them deal with
contemporary issues. Also, interdisciplinary subjects
have been created to address those problems found in today's
complicated and diverse social environment and that lie
beyond the scope of traditional legal and political science
frameworks.
Improvements to introductory courses
for freshmen
The first year introductory courses have been reviewed
and improved to help students quickly make the transition
from high school-style studying methods to university-level
education at Faculty of Law.
"Semester system" expected
to improve learning efficiency
Dividing specialized subjects into spring and fall
semesters enables systematic and efficient learning. In
2003, the semester system was also introduced for seminars,
thus it enables students to choose a wider selection of seminars depending
on their interests.
Small "interactive classes"
where students
and instructors learn from one another
The number of students in our classes is small and classes
follow an interactive format that facilitates intensive
learning. The objective is for students to become independent
and disciplined through self-directed learning and study.
"Full-Seminar System" that
builds character over four years
In order to achieve the goal of building character in
addition to providing opportunities for intellectual training
and creativity, instructions tailored to the needs of
the individual are given to students as they progress
through their courses from freshman to senior. |
