Imamura Institute of Legal Studies

The Imamura Institute of Legal Studies was set up in 1949, the same year that the University was launched under the new university system. The institute has the responsibility of preserving the legacy of Rikisaburo Imamura, who served as University president and was active in the legal profession in an unofficial capacity. The department undertakes practical research into, and analysis of, legal issues and circumstances, from both ethical and realistic perspectives.
