In addition, because of the cultural similarities, Taiwan and Japan share common social issues as well. Thus, understanding Japanese laws on currently discussed issues will help students who are practicing or to practice laws. This course aims at providing discussions on the latest legal issues in Japan. This time, the course will focus on primarily elder law and related social environments. The first five lecturers will introduce elder law issues. Taiwan, as well as Japan, are now heading to a super-aging society and we are forced to rethink the social and legal system established in the earlier era. The lecturers will illustrate legal and social challenges on the end of life determination, adult guardianship system, employment & retirement of elders, activities in local communities, and so on. Understanding how the Japanese system is trying to deal with problems in the aging society will help Taiwan to consider how to cope with similar problems. The remaining four lecturers will provide discussions on the most important recent major legal issues, recent corporate governance reforms and real practice in Japanese companies, the large-scale amendment to the Act on Protection of Personal Information and its impact on business, crime and business in Japan, and the law and Unoccupied Houses in Japan. Encounter with not a few corporate scandals in this decades has pushed the Japanese government and industry to amend the Companies Act as well as the rules in Tokyo Stock Exchange on corporate governance, which is called “corporate governance reforms”. Corporate scandal is one of Taiwan’s biggest headache as well. The lecturer will introduce not only the related rules on corporate governance but also provides the actual practices in Japanese corporations. In accordance with the GDPR, Japan has also amended its personal information protection law in order to foster the protection and utilization of personal information. The lecturer will introduce rather complicated regulations and also how it is implemented and is applied to business activities. The next lecturer will introduce rather complicated regulations and also how it is implemented and is applied to business activities. Also, as one of the results of failing to manage corporate governance, Japanese companies face business-related crimes, such as fraud and bribes.

Lastly, the lecture focuses on the issue of unoccupied houses which pose serious economic, social, and legal issues.
