INSTITUTE FOR LEGAL STUDIES
ACTIVITIES
The Institute for Legal Studies was established in April 1978 as a research institute of Kanagawa University. The purpose of its establishment is “to carry out wide-ranging researches on home and foreign law and politics, to publish their results and thereby to contribute to improvement and development of science”.
The Institute for Legal Studies consists of all of the staff members of the faculty of law as well as the school of law of Kanagawa University. Besides, some teachers of the other universities, including foreign ones, or persons with equal academic career to them join the Institute as research fellows.
In 2004, the Local Government Center and the International Human Rights Center were incorporated to the Institute. The former center is engaged in research of legal problems of municipal administration, and the latter – research of foreigners’ human rights issues and others.
HISTORY
The Institute for Legal Studies promotes two types of joint-researches. One is “project type”, aiming at concentrated research on the specified topic and achievement of concrete results of it during several years, and the other is “scientific exchange type”, the purpose of which is continuously to carry out scientific exchange among scholars with the same interest without fixed term. The Institute holds various symposia and lecture meetings connected with above-mentioned joint-researches or within the framework of activities of both Centers.
Since 2012, the Institute holds once a year a workshop with people from the local community, beginning with municipal officials, lawyers, NPO activists and so on under the general theme “The role of law in the local community in the globalized world”.
PUBLICATIONS
The Annual Report of the Institute for Legal Studies of Kanagawa University, launched in 1980 and thereafter issued once a year in Japanese, publishes records on symposia, lectures and seminars organized by the Institute as well as scientific achievements of its staff. The News Letter of the Institute for Legal Studies of Kanagawa University, issued two or three times a year also in Japanese, sends information on the activities of the Institute to the society. Monographs, written by the Institute staff, are published in the framework of Series of Legal Studies of Kanagawa University.
