Message to Prospective Students

I have been enjoying teaching the courses in the LL.M. at Waseda. While students are from a variety of countries, all of them have practical experiences in legal service and share the interest in legal affairs. As a public international lawyer, I would like to have exciting communications with students on international legal affairs.
