【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 focus on the latest issues regarding parent-child law.

Recently, there have been a number of proposals for legal amendments and amendments regarding issues related to parenthood and children. For example, with the Civil Code revision in 2022, the rule of presumption of legitimacy, which forms the basis of the law regarding parentage, was revised. Additionally, the Family Law Subcommittee of the Ministry of Justice's Legislative Council is proposing to introduce joint custody after divorce in January 2024. I would like to consider the norm that should be while considering what problems lie behind these revisions and proposed amendments.

With advances in assisted reproductive technology, the rules of parentage are now being reconsidered. Using court precedents as material, I would like to consider what kind of problems are occurring and what solutions should be taken.

Furthermore, in October 2023, the Grand Bench of the Supreme Court ruled that the gonad removal requirement of the Gender Identity Disorder Special Cases Act is unconstitutional. This is a little off topic from issues related to parents and children, but I would like to consider this as it is an important ruling.

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.

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.
