It has been more than a decade since Kyushu University instituted Japan’s first graduate law program taught entirely in English. The Annual Kyushu Law Conference and Symposium was inaugurated two years ago to reinforce our commitment to elevating the level of English language legal education and scholarship in Japan.

We are honored to welcome several leading scholars as presenters at our conference on Law and Development. The ability to attract such an exceptional group of scholars to Japan to exchange ideas in a common language is an achievement for the Program and reflects the dilligence of our staff, alumni and students. I am confident that with continued perseverance, the Annual Kyushu Law Conference will soon develop a reputation for thoughtfully addressing cutting edge legal issues and will continue to serve as a valuable educational opportunity for our students.

We welcome you to explore this webpage to learn more about this event and look forward to seeing you at the Conference

Sincerely,


Toshiyuki Kono
Director of International Graduate Programs
