Japanese law research departments are generally responsible for training students who want to become researchers and public officials, while law schools offer law-related courses. All law schools in Japan offer core courses A, B, C and discipline group G, and each school can set up discipline groups D, E and F according to its own characteristics. In principle, law school entrants require a bachelor's degree, and both non-law majors and law majors can apply. In order to ensure the fairness of the examination, in principle, a unified entrance examination system is adopted for law and illegal graduates. Law school graduates will be awarded a "doctor of law" degree in a special post and be eligible to take the new judicial examination.
It should be noted that if you want to be a lawyer in Japan, you must receive a law school education. At present, international students can't directly apply for Japanese law school when applying for studying abroad, but only apply for law graduate students first, and enter law school if they want to.
