Class introduction

Teacher in charge: HARUYAMA Shu
This is a class where you will learn about the governing structure (Parliament, Cabinet, Courts) in the Constitution. Behind the political and judicial movements that we casually see and hear on the news, there are certain rules established by the Constitution. In order to raise awareness and interest in this issue, we actively introduce actual news footage and examples. When talking about the Constitution, attention tends to be focused on the aspect of guaranteeing human rights, but it is politics and the judiciary that create a society where human rights are guaranteed in the first place. I believe that our society will be enriched by studying and applying the Constitution.

Since the Commercial Code is a special law of the Civil Code, which is a general form of private law, in class we explain the provisions, systems, and transaction structures of the Commercial Code in an easy-to-understand manner, comparing them with the provisions, systems, and transactions of the Civil Code. We conduct classes to help students understand the characteristics, significance, and role of commercial law as part of corporate law by comparing it with civil law and giving familiar examples.

The Supreme Court's precedents were considered for two weeks. As a group, we discussed what kinds of circumstances the Supreme Court emphasized, trends in decisions, and issues. In the fall semester, a mock trial is held as the culmination of the seminar. Based on a hypothetical case, lawyers, prosecutors, and judges will each present their arguments and draw conclusions in the seminar. I also experienced observing a trial at the Tokyo District Court. He attended the trial of a ``receiver'' for bank transfer fraud, and the fact that the ``receiver'' was the same age as the student led him to realize that there are people from various backgrounds in society, and that ``the world has nothing to do with me.'' Consciousness changes. It was a good opportunity to get a closer look at the law.

In this class, we immediately give a quiz on what we have learned in that class. This is because I want you to make sure that you acquire what you have learned as knowledge. In terms of content, Political Science I deals with the ideas, systems, and elections of liberal democratic systems, while Political Science II deals with political parties and pressure groups, government work, bureaucracy, local autonomy, war and peace, the United Nations, and politics. It deals with history etc.
