In Faculty of Law, students study basic subjects such as constitutional law, civil law, and criminal law in their first year, and develop a foundation in law and political science. From the second year onwards, students are divided into four courses, and specialized education is provided according to each student's aspirations through systematic study. We will introduce the course and career path model.

Be sure to study subjects such as "Administrative Administration," "Local Government," "Public Finance," "Principles of Political Science," and "Constitution" thoroughly, both to prepare for exams and for your work after you get hired!

Of course you can. First, let me explain about police officers. Police officers are civil servants, but they are also law enforcement officers.
アジロー2Ajiro
What is a law enforcement officer?
檀上先生お写真_2Professor DANJO Hirofumi
It means they have the power to prevent and investigate crime.
アジロー2Ajiro
So what about the firefighters?
檀上先生お写真_2Professor DANJO Hirofumi
Firefighters are civil servants, but their main job is to respond to fires and other disasters.
アジロー2Ajiro
Both jobs seem difficult.
檀上先生お写真_2Professor DANJO Hirofumi
Yes, that's true, but both police officers and firefighters have very rewarding jobs because they help people.

Okay! So tell me about studying to become a police officer or a firefighter!

In fact, most Faculty of Law graduates find employment in the private sector. I think the kind of corporate worker Ajiro admires is a businessperson in the headquarters administrative department of a company, responsible for legal affairs, human resources, planning, and finance.
アジロー2Ajiro
I've never seen the inside of the office, so I don't know for sure.

Have you heard about corporate acquisitions and compliance in the news or on TV dramas? Corporate law is the field that solves these problems. Since it is legal, studying Faculty of Law is the perfect fit.
アジロー2Ajiro
To be honest, I want to be a great sales person.
Image for Professor Ueda (provided by him)Mr. UEDA Hiromi
A company's profits come from sales activities, so most people who work at a company are salespeople. Selling condominiums, new cars, apparel products. However, there are rules to sell things properly. Selling safe products to consumers with peace of mind. In Faculty of Law, you can also learn the "rules for selling things."
アジロー2Ajiro
How do you learn?
Image for Professor Ueda (provided by him)Mr. UEDA Hiromi
When choosing your course, choose the Business Course. You will start studying Corporate Law from your second year, and you will also study Civil Law II, Civil Law III, Financial Instruments and Exchange Law, Bill and Check Law, Intellectual Property Law, Economic Law, Labor Law, and other laws related to business activities by the time you graduate.
アジロー2Ajiro
Alright, I'll do my best in the corporate course from my second year!
Image for Professor Ueda (provided by him)Mr. UEDA Hiromi
That's not okay. The three courses you take in your first year, "Constitution I," "Civil Law I," and "Criminal Law I," are the foundations of all legal subjects, so you should study them thoroughly first. The type of talent companies are looking for is someone who has basic legal knowledge, can point out legal issues, and can correctly understand and act on the advice of lawyers and other legal experts in the business world. In other words, to become a member of society with a legal mind. This is the goal of Faculty of Law student.
