Comparative Study of the Relationship Between the Legal Education and the Lawyers Training

东口信夫的《日本的法律教育》一书扫描了日本以全国律师考试为特征的本科法律教育和律师培训体系的传统，透视了司法体制改革委员会最终报告中关于新法学院项目的当前辩论。太尾洋子的《美国法律教育的特点和美国法学院协会的活动》表明，美国的法学院强调合同和侵权等一年级课程，这些课程往往由其他领域的专业教授授课。它声称这一事实是美国法律学术的特征，美国法学院协会是这一特征的象征。浅阪的《大学法律教育与普通法国家的律师培训》表明，大学法律教育与律师培训的结合有多种途径。同时，在英美法系国家，律师具有非法学专业背景的情况也屡见不鲜。伊藤洋一的《法国比较法研究与教育》一书显示，令人惊讶的是，在法国，比较法研究和教育一直没有得到很好的维护，但最近由于欧洲法律和全球化的日益重要，比较法的价值受到了重视。

Norio Higuchi, "Legal Education in Japan" scans the tradition of undergraduate legal education and lawyers training system characterized by the national bar examination in Japan, and it shows a perspective of current debate of the new law school project under final report of the Justice System Reform Council.Yoshiko Terao, "Characteristics of the Legal Education in the United States and Activities of the Association of American Law Schools" indicates that such first-year courses as contracts and torts are emphasized at the law schools in the United States and those courses are often taught by professors who have expertise in other fields. It claims that this fact characterizes the American legal scholarship and that the Association of American Law Schools is the symbol of this character.Kichimoto Asaka, "The University Legal Education and the Lawyers Training in Common Law Countries" indicates that there are various approaches for combining the university legal education and the lawyers training. And it shows that recently clinical programs in the American law schools for the practical skills and ethicsis are developing and at the same time in common law countries, it is not uncommon for lawyers to have a background of non-law studies.Yoichi Ito, "Comparative Law Research and Education in France" shows that in France, surprisingly, the comparative law research and education has been poorly maintained, but that recently its values are emphasized because of the increasing importance of European law and the globalization.
