Message to Prospective Students

I am a historian of modern Japan. In the LL.M. program, I teach the elective course “Japanese Language I and II” alongside Christoph Rademacher. We welcome students with functional proficiency in Japanese who are eager to read and translate a wide range of law-related texts and expand their legal vocabulary. Why not use your time in Tokyo to improve your Japanese reading skills?
