To everyone who took the 2021 bar examination, congratulations on your hard work.
At this time when you should be preparing for your upcoming legal apprenticeship, we will be holding an online guidance session on legal apprenticeship by public prosecutor instructors from the Legal Training and Research Institute, as outlined in the "Guidance Overview" below.
Many public prosecutor instructors, including the lead and deputy lead instructors, will be speaking at this guidance session.
With in-person opportunities limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this is a valuable opportunity to meet and speak directly with many instructors. We especially encourage those of you who took the 2021 bar examination to attend.
In addition, alumni and current students are also welcome to attend this guidance session.
We encourage your active participation so you can stay updated with the latest information and continue to enhance your skills.
Those who wish to participate should apply by email to Kentaro Suzuki, a dispatched public prosecutor, at k_suzuki@ls.keio.ac.jp by Saturday, June 12, 2021. Please include the following information in your email: (1) for alumni, your year of graduation from Keio Law School, or for current students, your academic year and class; (2) the email address where you would like to receive the Zoom URL; and (3) whether you wish to attend the online social gathering (see *note below).
