Note: As legal apprentices, you will be required to conduct interrogations yourselves during the practical training for public prosecutors. We imagine many of you may be feeling anxious, wondering, "How do I conduct an interrogation?" Therefore, in the mock interrogation session, we will have several participants experience conducting an interrogation in the role of a public prosecutor. Afterward, we will hold a Q&A session with you and the public prosecutor instructors to help you get a clearer picture of what an interrogation entails. Additionally, during the guidance session, the public prosecutor instructors will discuss the content of the apprenticeship, the proper mindset, and more. They will also answer your candid questions about the apprenticeship, such as "Is attending an autopsy mandatory?" We encourage all successful candidates to feel free to join, regardless of whether you aspire to become a public prosecutor.

Note: A social gathering with the public prosecutor instructors and newly appointed prosecutors who are alumni of our law school is planned after the guidance session (fee: approx. 3,000 yen). Those wishing to attend the guidance session are requested to also let us know whether or not they will attend the social gathering.
