项目摘要

This research aims at making clear how gender/feminist perspectives can be incorporated into the curriculum of legal professional education in the United States and Japan. The results are as follows : in the United States, almost every law school has at least one course on gender/feminist legal studies and several other substantive law courses have the topic in the syllabi. The underlying factors are : substantial accumulation of feminist legal studies ; substantial body of female or qualified lawyers and faculty who can teach feminist jurisprudence ; administration eager to take students' concrete requests into educational programs. In Japan, on the other hand, law schools hardly seem to recognize feminist legal studies as necessary course in their programs. Paradoxically, law faculties and departments, which do not have law schools, have several gender related courses. The fact that the qualified faculties are very limited has largely affected the law school programs. The problem shared in both countries is, the difficulty to make feminist legal studies a required course. The underlying condition is legal professional education is inclined to be regarded as a means to pass the bar exam, and then, the course is given less priority. It may be seriously taken that the top law schools in the United States set feminist legal studies course count as one of required electives-those few privileged schools put much more importance on cultivating diverse lawyers than passing rates.

本研究旨在明确如何将性别/女权主义观点纳入美国和日本的法律专业教育课程中。结果如下：在美国，几乎每所法学院都至少有一门关于性别/女权主义法律研究的课程，并且其他几门实体法课程的教学大纲中都有该主题。其根本因素是：女权法学研究的大量积累；大量能够教授女权主义法学的女性或合格的律师和教师；行政部门渴望将学生的具体要求纳入教育计划。另一方面，在日本，法学院似乎几乎不承认女权主义法律研究是其课程中的必修课程。矛盾的是，没有法学院的法学院和院系却开设了几门与性别相关的课程。合格师资非常有限这一事实在很大程度上影响了法学院的课程。两国共同的问题是，难以将女权主义法学研究列为必修课。其根本原因是法律职业教育倾向于被视为通过律师资格考试的手段，而该课程的优先级较低。美国顶尖法学院将女权主义法律研究课程列为必修课之一，这或许是值得认真对待的——少数特权学校对多元化律师的培养远比通过率更重要。
