【Course Objectives】

The objectives of this seminar are to examine the various problems in Civil Law while accurately understanding the positioning of those problems and to become able to derive your own ideas based on legal thinking. At the same time, this seminar aims to enable students to master the techniques which are required for learning and to become a member of society which include researching the literature, preparing as a group for a presentation and giving a report, and engaging in a debate based on a report.

【Course Contents】

In this seminar, we will consider various legal issues related to couples, with a focus on same-sex marriage.

Throughout the semester, I would like to examine the issue of same-sex marriage from various angles. We will also learn various prerequisites for understanding this problem. For example, it is necessary to understand what kind of effects are observed by being legally married, and it is also necessary to understand what effects are observed for couples outside of marriage and where the differences are. Additionally, hints about whether same-sex marriage will be approved may be hidden in the judgments that discuss the unconstitutionality of the system that forces married couples to have the same surname.

In this seminar, during each session two or three students will present a report on the relevant topic which will form the basis of discussion (each participant will give one reports during the semester). Moreover, the students giving the report will also present the arguments after the report to lead the discussion (the instructor may assist as needed). The instructor wishes to respect the autonomy of all students. Students are required to sufficiently prepare and actively speak up in discussion.

In addition, this seminar is scheduled to be a joint seminar with Professor Aya Osawa (Hosei University). In addition to preparing a report, you are invited to participate in either the question or the answer of the joint seminar.

Third and fourth year students can participate in this seminar. I will give as much consideration as possible to job hunting, so please actively participate.
