The Institute for International Legal Relations

The Institute for International Legal Relations endeavors to strengthen both research and teaching in international law at the Faculty of Law. It provides a platform for researchers and teachers of the Faculty and for cooperating legal scholars as well as institutions on which to conduct legal research at international level. It also helps them publish their research findings, and points out new ways to integrate these findings into the courses of study taught by the Law Faculty. The Institute helps law students and doctoral candidates at the Law Faculty to internationalize their studies and their independent research work. In doing so, it also offers continuing education to those who are interested.

The Institute currently hosts three Departments, which focus on different disciplines, fields of activity and research topics:

• Japanese law
• the Law of the Latin American countries
• German, European and international labor law, as well as social law
