About the Program:
The Tokyo program was founded in 1978. The core, three-week, four unit class introduces students to the Japanese legal system and explores current issues in international trade and intellectual property law. Students may also take an elective 1 unit class in Japanese patent and copyright law. Students who complete the core course are eligible to undertake a four week, 3 unit internship in Tokyo.
Most classes are taught in classrooms at the Asia Center of Japan. Instructors are distinguished Japanese professors and practitioners. Student housing is reserved at the Asia Center.
It goes without saying that Tokyo is one of the world’s most fascinating cities and one of the world’s economic and financial centers. Consequently, studying Japanese law in Tokyo with Japanese professors, followed by practical experience in a Japanese corporate law office or law firm provides law students who have an interest in Japan with an invaluable educational experience.
