MESSAGES FROM LEADERS OF PARTICIPANTS IN ISS PREFACE Prof. Dongkook KANG School of Law, Nagoya University The School of Law of Nagoya University hosted the third international summer seminar at its campus in Nagoya from August 5 to 28, 2014 in collaboration with three universities from South Korea (Seoul National University, Sungkyunkwan University and Kookmin University), five universities from China (Renmin University of China, Tsinghua University, Nanjing University, China University of Political Science and Law and Shanghai Jiao Tong University), two universities from Vietnam(Hanoi University of Law, Ho Chi Minh City University of Law), one university from Cambodia(Royal University of Law and Economics), one university from Indonesia(Gadjah Mada University), one university from Taiwan(National Taiwan University), and one university from Thailand(Thammasat University). This seminar was intended for students from these Asian universities, with which Nagoya University has formed partnerships—to offer students opportunities to discover and experience student life in Japan and to interact with students from other Asian countries. By taking part in the seminar, the students can be expected to sharpen their global sense and build human networks in East Asia. We hope that those who participated will come to play a key role in the future in promoting development in Asia while working together with other East Asian countries. Under this concept, the seminar featured one preparatory event-Japanese language class- and two major events—lecture sessions and visits to public facilities for research purposes—both of which provided participants with opportunities to learn about legal, political and social systems of East Asia, and were able to get exposed to various Japanese systems through actual experiences. Through three Japanese language classes- Introduction to Japanese Language, Japanese Communication, and Business Japanese-, the students were equipped with basic Japanese expressions for daily life in Japan and encouraged for further study of Japanese language. Topics taken up at the lecture sessions were Introduction to Contract Law and International Relations of East Asia. Through the lectures, the students from other East Asian countries were able to learn about politics and laws of East Asia. The so-called research visits allowed students to learn about how the Japanese corporations work and what is going on at the court and lawyer's association in Japan by providing firsthand experience in the Japanese corporation and legal institutions of courts and lawyer's association through having students visit Toyota Engineering Corporation, Nagoya District Court and Gifu Prison. The seminar also provided an independent research session where participants visited various places they chose on their own in order to feel Japan’s culture and society. Before visiting these places, they allotted some of their time to conducting research on them. This report consists of several chapters. Chapter 1 is an Overview of the Nagoya University School of Law International Summer Seminar 2014. Chapter 2 is self-introduction of participants from partner universities. Reported in Chapters 3 are concrete contents of academic activities and comments by the participants about these activities—what they felt and what they learned. There are messages from leaders of participants in Chapter 4. I hope that when participants read this report they will refresh their memories about what they learned and thought about at the seminar, and that their seminar experiences will help them in their next stage of life. 1. OVERVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SEMINAR (ISS) 1.1 PURPOSE The Nagoya University School of Law 2014 launched the “NUSL International Summer Seminar” (NUSL ISS) in close cooperation with universities affiliated with Campus ASEAN, Campus Asia and with other individual universities. Every year the NUSL ISS provides students from these partner universities with opportunities to discover and experience student life in Japan and to interact with students from other Asian countries. Cultivating their practical skills and knowledge, we hope that participants in the NUSL ISS will be a major force in the future development of Asian countries in cooperation with the countries of East Asia. This seminar will be a first step in the development of student’s international consciousness and will allow them to begin developing international networks with participants from other countries. Participation in this program will be a great opportunity to discover Japan, gain new knowledge, and meet life-long friends. 1.2 SEMINAR SCHEDULE IN 2014 Nagoya University School of Law International Summer Seminar 2014 was held from August 4th to 29th.

SELF-INTRODUCTIONOF PARTICIPANTS IN ISS Zhao Yijun Nice to meet you, I am from Republic of Korea. I am a student in my 1st year at Koguan Law School, Shanghai Jiao Tong University(上海交通大学凯原法学院). I study law in my school and also political science as a double major. My interests of research are competition law and IP law. I am a CAMPUS ASIA student and after finishing 2014 ISS Program here in Nagoya University, I will go back to Shanghai and apply for an exchange program in the US. As my bachelor ‘s degree was on Diplomacy, I am also interested in international politics and diplomacy policies. By participating 2014 ISS program I have learned so many things and was able to widen my understanding from culture to legal and political knowledge. Among all, having a chance to get along with various nationals was the best part of this program. Those participants were not only smart, but also very enthusiastic that allowed me to get so many inspirations. Summer of 2014 will never be forgotten and will be remembered as a turning point and a corner stone of my life. Cheng Hanying I’m Cheng Hanying. I’m from China, Tianjin which is a place full of classical Chinese food, I know that many team members like Chinese food so we will have a good time in my hometown. Besides, another feature of Tianjin is relaxing lifestyle. In my view, nothing is more important than life itself. I always focus on the life and myself. I do not want to be a normal person who makes every effort only to be tied in the lattice where we go to work on time, keep working, go home, bento for dinner and finish the day. If I saw some children at McDonald I I saw my own shadow from them. I would feel sad about that. I often find some hobby to decorate my life like cooking, singing, sports, parties etc. Somebody say that I am easy going. Somebody say that I admire feminine frequently. Somebody say that I am good at cooking. I just wanna say I love my life. I curious about the life style of Japanese and I heart that is so exquisite in Japan. This time to Nagoya University, I want to have a look at the normal life of Japanese and bring some Japanese stories that we cannot hear in our news back. Choi Heejo Nice to meet you, はじめまして, I am Heejo CHOI from Republic of Korea. I am a student in my 3rd year at Department of Public Affairs, Sungkyunkwan University(成均馆大学). I study law in my school and also political science as a double major. My interests of research are International Law and International Relations of East Asia. I am a CAMPUS ASIA student and after finishing 2014 ISS Program here in Nagoya University, I will head to Renmin University of China(中国人民大学), Beijing, to study law and political science for an year of exchange student program.

Promoting unified legal system and united institution among East Asia have been the goal of my life for a long time, and as a position of student, this 2014 ISS program was such a great opportunity to build my future plans up and develop thoughts regarding legal and international issues.
