AResearch on Law School Education and Law Students' Legal Consciousness

许多法学院学生在整个学期中都保持着他们决定来法学院时梦想的工作。在这样做的同时，三分之二的样本预测他们未来的工作与他们梦想的工作相同。在法学院学习的时间越长，与预期工作相匹配的比例也越高。在我们进行调查时，没有任何媒体关注“新律师很难找到工作”，如果我们隔一天再做同样的调查，我们预计会有不同的反应。的确，我们需要进行panel survey进行panel survey，也就是他们在律师培训期结束后从事什么样的工作。当我们在问卷中询问一些关于法律形象的问题时，一些抽象的问题，这些抽象的法律形象在短期内不太可能不会改变。事实上，在相隔一年的小组调查中，大多数法律意识项目的平均得分并没有变化。然而，间隔两年进行的小组调查显示，某些项目的平均差异更大。这表明，在法学院进行三年密集的法律培训，对一般和抽象的法律意识和法律态度会产生一定的影响。日本的法学院接受来自不同大学的许多学生。此外，许多未来的法学院学生参加多所法学院的入学考试。在日本，所有申请人在申请法学院之前都必须参加LSAT类型的考试，毕业后必须参加统一的律师考试。通过考试后，他们将进入为期12个月的实习期。因此，对法学学生的生活和意识进行研究是非常重要的，不是为一个单独的学校，而是为所有的学校。

Many law students keep their job preference they had dreamed of when they decided to come to law school throughout their law school term. While doing so, the two-thirds of those samples are predict their future job that is same as their dreamed job. The ratio of those who match their predicted job to their dreamed job are slightly higher as they stay in law schools longer. When our survey was conducted, no mass media paid attention to "new lawyers have hard time for finding their job, " we expect different responses if we do the same survey now a days. Indeed, we need to panel survey for a panel survey, that is, what kind of job they take after their completion of lawyers' trainee period.When we asked in our questionnaire some items for legal image, some abstract ones, it is not likely that those abstract legal image would not be changed in the short term. Indeed, the mean scores of most of the legal consciousness items did not change between the panel surveys conducted a year apart. However, the panel surveys conducted two years apart show more larger mean differences for some items. It suggests that three years intensive legal training at law schools will have some moderate influences on the general and abstract legal consciousness and legal attitudes.Japanese law schools accept many students from various universities. Also many prospective law students take the entrance examination for multiple law schools. In Japan, all applicants must take the LSAT type of test before applying law schools, and after graduation they must take the unified Bar Exam. When passed, they proceed to the trainee period for twelve months. Therefore it is very important to continue the research project for law students' life and consciousness, not for a separate school, but for all schools.
