【Course Objectives】

This course is designed to provide students with basic knowledge of Japanese trust law. The course has three primary objectives.
The first one is to understand the basic structure and rules of trust. An increasing number of trusts has been formulated in our Japanese modern society. We will learn the cause of the increase, social needs for trusts, issues involving trust schemes, and rules to address the issues. Therefore, through learning contract law (i.e., the ways it operates and solves disputes), students can also learn the ways our society operates.
The second one is to train students' value judgment. Disputes involving trusts present multiple parties' competing interests, each one of which deserves to be carefully analyzed and considered. Academics' discussions also provide competing opinions and various approaches to solve disputes. Through case studies, the students can train the ways of balancing competing interests and constantly test their own value judgment. The last objective is to train logical thinking skills through learning logical justification for rules and courts' decisions.

【Course Contents】

The lectures will be provided with PowerPoint. However, the sessions will be based on the discussions with the students.
Reading materials will be provided in class. Read the assigned material before each class. Students are required to participate in classroom discussion based on the reading assignment that has been given for the session. To help provide the requisite motivation to stay current on the readings, students may be called on in class.
Active participation in class is expected from everyone. Please note that class participation makes up a signifcant portion of your grade, which means that you must come to class diligently prepared to take part in interactions in class. Also be aware that credit is not given merely for attendance. Your participation, not presence, is what counts toward your grade. The success of the course will depend greatly on your preparedness for class and willingness to engage in dialogue in class. If missing a session is unavoidable, you are responsible for finding out from a fellow classmate what was informed, dealt with, and discussed during the session.
Writing assignments will also be given. Writing assignments must be submitted by the due dates. A late assignment may be accepted with the instructor’s explicit permission, but deductions will be made for each day the assignment is late. Your grade will suffer substantially if you miss an entire assignment.
Topics for presentations, classroom discussions, and writing assignments involve mainly examinations of cases and elaborations of opinions on topics that are to be discussed in class.
