補論 帝大法学部と「国家社会的要請」

抄録

Judging from the graduates' choice of places of employment, the character of the faculty of law at imperial universities made a remarkable change, during the period of the early days of the Taisho era, from the bureaucrats' training school to the training school for the candidates for the executives of company. In accordance with this change, lectures in the faculty on international law and administrative law which had thus far been regarded as the essential subjects to be a bureaucrat fell relattively in importance since the ninth year of Taisho: in the jurisprudence course, for example, those lectures were then changed from the required subjects to the optional ones; on the other hand, more time was given to lectures on commercial law and private international law.
We have thus proved, with the materials of those days, that the faculty of law contributed to the development of the Japanese capitalism by supplying able men in compliance with the “national-social demand.”
