| 授業の目標・概要等 |
This course is designed as an introduction to the essentials of law and legal systems. It aims to provide insight into the nature and function of law and familiarize students with key concepts, institutions and processes in various fields of law, such as constitutional law, criminal law, procedural law, property law, contracts and torts. The course seeks to place law in its social, economic, political, historical and philosophical context and thus not only to provide students with a knowledge of legal institutions but also to help them to develop a critical understanding of the operation of those institutions in society. |
