Different countries have different family laws.
Legal marriageable age is different, too!
Taking getting married for example, the relevant laws
including civil law, marriage law and some laws related toproperty inheritance are involved. In fact, every detail of life
is related to law, such as part–time work, buying things in a
‘convenience store’, driving a vehicle, etc. From the detailsof life to news events, studying law by understanding social
knowledge is the learning style of our Department of Law.

Proposalfor Local

First and second-year students benefited from joining
the Program of Regional Development Research.
“Do you have any experience of taking part in urban planning? I took part in a program
named: “Proposal by Department of Business and Commerce students - Sustainable
Development Plan for the (Okayama) Awa area”. Under guidance from our seniors, ourstudent group with no idea of urban planning gathered together and determined theitems for investigation. From January to March, we undertook a field study in Awa whereabout 600 people live, and interviewed 113 local people. Then we studied thisinformation and concluded with six proposals for local regional development. It was thefirst time any of us had completed a program like this. With the help and encouragementof our teachers and the local people we accomplished this task pretty successfully. After
this activity, I realized that it is important to use the knowledge we learn to do somethingoutside school, and the feeling of personal progress I got from this experience reallyimpressed me.”Faculty of Business Administration, Department of Business & Commerce, Junior,Shiori Kayahara
