The Center for Japanese
Legal Studies

The Center for Japanese Legal Studies is the first and only center of its kind in the United States. The center actively promotes research on Japanese law, aided by the country’s premier collection of Japanese legal materials. Under the direction of Professor Curtis J. Milhaupt, the center strives to be the principal source of intellectual exchange between the legal professions of the United States and Japan.
