Course description

Basic Japanese Civil Law 2

This course is in succession to the TokyoTechX "Basic Japanese Civil Law", which covered concepts common to many countries, such as sovereignty, constitution, separation of three powers, basic human rights, and personal safety. The course considers current issues in Japan, such as those faced in daily life from a legal perspective based upon laws and related methods. This course teaches Japanese civil law in more detail related to contemporary problems.
