The
Deutsch-Japanische Juristenvereinigung, founded in 1988, is committed to the following
goals:
-
| to
strengthen the cooperation of German and Japanese jurists of all occupations and
to deepen the mutual understanding of their legal systems; | -
| to
offer scholars and practicing jurists a forum for the exchange of ideas so that
scientific insights and practical experience from both countries can be made useful; | -
| to
cultivate and encourage personal and professional contact and cooperation among
people interested in German and Japanese law. |
These
goals shall be implemented through lectures, scholarly events, the publication
of the ZEITSCHRIFT FÜR JAPANISCHES RECHT / JOURNAL OF JAPANESE LAW and a
series of publications that focus on Japanese law, as well as generally through
the support of scholarly works about questions that are significant for the legal
systems of both countries.
The Association regularly informs its members
about new Japanese laws, significant judicial decisions, and other noteworthy
news from its field of activity. In addition, it sponsors periodic lectures in
various cities and organizes comparative law symposiums.
At present, approx.
700 individuals, companies, and institutions in Germany, Japan, and other countries
are members of the Association. Not only jurists, but also scholars and practitioners
from other specialties are welcome to become members. The same applies for companies
and other institutions that want to help to achieve the goals of the Association. |
