Keio Law Society
The Faculty of Law and the Graduate School of Law of Keio University have produced many researchers across the fields of law, political science, and sociology. Established in 1971, the Keio Law Society was founded as an organization through which researchers active outside the University after graduating from the Faculty of Law or the Graduate School of Law could interact with full-time faculty members and jointly plan and conduct academic events. While each discipline and research group has developed its own extensive scholarly traditions and networks, the Society continues its activities as a forum for exchange and mutual intellectual development among those who studied at Mita, transcending individual fields and research groups.
