Fostering law professionals with legal thinking and insight into people
?
Overview of the Division of Law
From legal education to legal research Since 2010, our Faculty of Law has been pursuing a more practical legal education by drastically reorganizing its curriculum to strengthen its preparation for civil service examinations and other tests. The Graduate School of Law of Teikyo University is expanding this legal education toward "legal research" and emphasizing further deepening legal research and creating talented individuals useful to society. Through the Master's and Doctoral Programs, students will conduct legal research centered on case methods (case studies) and acquire a legal mindset.
Training of legal practitioners The main focus of the Master's Program is to train working professionals with highly specialized knowledge and the ability to think logically. Upon completion of the Master's program, students will be able to enter the workforce as tax accountants, legal professionals, and other practitioners. The Doctoral Program educates students to become researchers and professionals engaged in advanced legal work.
Grades will be announced each semester on Campus Square (at the end of the academic year for students taking only year-round courses).
