| Research Abstract |
Many law students keep their job preference they had dreamed of when they decided to come to law school throughout their law school term. While doing so, the two-thirds of those samples are predict their future job that is same as their dreamed job. The ratio of those who match their predicted job to their dreamed job are slightly higher as they stay in law schools longer. When our survey was conducted, no mass media paid attention to "new lawyers have hard time for finding their job, " we expect different responses if we do the same survey now a days. Indeed, we need to panel survey for a panel survey, that is, what kind of job they take after their completion of lawyers' trainee period.
When we asked in our questionnaire some items for legal image, some abstract ones, it is not likely that those abstract legal image would not be changed in the short term. Indeed, the mean scores of most of the legal consciousness items did not change between the panel surveys conducted a year apart. However, the panel surveys conducted two years apart show more larger mean differences for some items. It suggests that three years intensive legal training at law schools will have some moderate influences on the general and abstract legal consciousness and legal attitudes.
Japanese law schools accept many students from various universities. Also many prospective law students take the entrance examination for multiple law schools. In Japan, all applicants must take the LSAT type of test before applying law schools, and after graduation they must take the unified Bar Exam. When passed, they proceed to the trainee period for twelve months. Therefore it is very important to continue the research project for law students' life and consciousness, not for a separate school, but for all schools.
