| Research Abstract |
We started the project of "Fundamental Research on the History of Legal Studies in Meiji Era" because of the fewness of the preceding researches on this subject.
In the first term, we found out E. G. Boissonade's so far undiscovered speech in Osaka Koron (may 3,1889). He says, in this speech delivered in Osaka, "Most of your teachers are my pupils. So I am a father of your fathers, that is, I am your grandfather." These words proves that there were many jurists in the Kansai district who deserved to be called Boissonade's children or grandchildren. Thus we decided to forward our research on Boissonade and other important persons in Kansai who had been influenced by him.
Among these persons, Misao Inoue (1848-1905), a graduate of Law School of the Ministry of Justice, was a professor of Tokyo University and director of Osaka Court of Appeal. He also wrote a lot of books. We selected him as a tentative object, and visited his bereaved family, where we found the notebooks handwritten by him. We consider these notebooks extremely valuable because they seem probably to be written after the Boissonade's lectures on french civil law, administrative law, and prosecutory system. Furthermore, we examined Inoue's "Dainihonteikokukenpojyutsugi" and "Keihojyutsugi". We believe that Inoue's achievements should not go unheeded. Some other Boissonade's pupils were also researched.
We conclude that more thorough research on the School of French Law is needed to make. Though this school was considerably important in the development of legal studies in Japan, it is apt to be held in little account compared with the School of German Law.
