5. Eligibility Successful candidates of the bar examination
* Open to all (no prior registration required). Open to anyone, regardless of whether you aspire to become a public prosecutor.
* Once you become a legal apprentice, during the practical public prosecutor training, you will be given case files of actual, ongoing investigations and asked to consider the final disposition. However, many of you may be feeling anxious about what to consider and how to approach it. In this session, prior to the apprenticeship, public prosecutor instructors will explain the essence of how to consider the final disposition of a case as a public prosecutor—a skill also required when drafting final dispositions during the public prosecutor apprenticeship—through a case study. Additionally, during the guidance session, public prosecutor instructors and junior public prosecutors will discuss the content of the apprenticeship, what to expect, and more. They will also answer your candid questions about the apprenticeship and the job, such as "Do we have to attend autopsies during the public prosecutor apprenticeship?", "What kind of work do public prosecutors do besides criminal cases?", and "Can public prosecutors study abroad?". We encourage anyone who feels even slightly anxious about the public prosecutor apprenticeship to feel free to join.
* After the guidance session, we plan to hold a social gathering (fee: approx. 3,000 yen) with the participation of public prosecutor instructors and newly appointed public prosecutors who are alumni of our law school (LS). Those who wish to attend, for venue reservation purposes,
please contact Keizo Tsuda, Dispatched Public Prosecutor (Email: keizot@keio.jp)
