Overview

Students will study basic, public, social, and civil law as well as politics. The study of basic law has the role of building a foundation of positive law through research on the concepts of law, history, foreign laws, and so on. The study of public and social law is for understanding interpretations of the law as related to the nation, local governments, and civic life. The study of civil law has the task of understanding interpretations of law that discipline human environments. In politics, students look at both the ideal and the reality of politics making full use of scientific examinations along with an understanding of the history of politics, philosophy, and the functions of media. Kanazawa University is home to professors of the various fields mentioned above. Therefore, using what they have achieved in each specialized field, graduate students are expected to conduct their own creative studies to widen their horizons and challenge the status quo within the academic community and actual practice.
