2 credits
Note: In Fall 2023, this course was Advanced Readings in Japanese Constitutional Law.
Course Description (Fall 2023):
Prerequisite: By permission of instructor. Because the readings are in Japanese, students should have the equivalent of at least two years’ language instruction, but the difficulty of the materials will be adjusted to the reading levels of the students (and the class can be split if necessary). Native speakers of Japanese are welcome to attend, but may not take the course for credit.
In this reading group, students will read a wide variety of law-related materials in the original Japanese language. Class discussion will cover both any language questions that arise, and the substance of the material discussed.
Materials to be read will be determined on the first day of class.
