授業の概要	This class is about American Law as compared with Japanese law. 実務経験 I have been a lawyer for more than 40 years, and have worked on my cases throughout my career. I have worked for Japanese clients in New York (Japan Airlines, etc.), and in Guam (Sumitomo Construction Company, etc.). I have worked on a variety of criminal cases, including the infamous Kazuyoshi Miura case of suspected murder of his wife Kazumi. I also worked for the United States Forces Japan at Yokota Air Force Base in Tokyo, where I did extensive research on Japanese law and advised the Command concerning the same. For 15 years, I worked as a foreign legal adviser to the law firm of Blakemore & Mitsuki, the oldest international law office in the Japan. All of this experience I bring to the classroom and share with my students. They can get a real appreciation of the work of a lawyer through my eyes.
