Research Abstract

Through a follow up investigation of former overseas students in particular those from various Asian countries, using surveys based on open-ended interviews and a questionnaire, we made to explore and clarify how legal education in Japan up until now has been effective and at the same time what kind of limitations there are for these overseas students from a variety of countries. Based on the result ofthe survey, we searched a methodology that can combine global legal education that transcends nationality and age with Japan'slegal education method which only targets Japanese people, and discussed about the points necessary for a transition to a global transmission of legal education in Japan.
