Summer School

Since 2004, we have been holding a camp-style annual summer school at an external training facility for about a week during the summer holidays, with all classes and examinations conducted entirely in English. The main purpose is to offer students basic knowledge and experience for students to be internationally active legal professionals in the future.
It offers an opportunity for students to further increase their motivation to study by coming into close contact with leading researchers and legal professionals invited from Europe and the United States as lecturers. In addition, we invite universities such as Peking University, Seoul National University, National University of Singapore, KU Leuven, and The Australian National University to participate and provide opportunities to deepen exchanges with students from all over the world. To enhance the educational effect, we also encourage the participation of domestic lawyers and corporate legal practitioners so that students gain practical knowledge of legal work. Students from other universities are also allowed to participate.
