On July 30, 2024, the firm’s lawyers, Kunimasa Fukushima, Yuichiro Ishida, Takahito Inagaki, Yuta Kawasaki, Takuma Mori, Kaya Kim, Kana Hashinaga, Akane Hirata, Mio Fukumoto, Junna Tashiro, Jimmu Nakaya, Yuki Yamaoka, Yuto Yokoyama, and Kazuya Wakao conducted the “Watashi no Mirai (My Future) Program ‘Learn Together about Money and Law!’” through which they, together with representatives from “Watashi no Mirai” (a general incorporated association) and J.P. Morgan, provided law-related education to junior and senior high school students who live in children’s homes.



This year, the program covered illegal downloading and other dangers related to internet use as well as legal issues concerning part-time jobs, including exploitative part-time jobs, which have been gaining a lot of attention recently.

The attorneys also presented information about familiar legal issues, such as those related to the age of adulthood, contracts, and leasing and renting accommodation, as discussed last year, and worked with the students and workers at the facilities to deepen their understanding of these issues by giving quizzes and having participants find legal issues in short plays, and conducting team discussions.

The students who took part in the program conveyed feedback with comments such as, “Although I did not know much about law, I was able to learn about issues that I need to know in everyday life thanks to this program” and “I was able to learn about things that I did not understand before and gain new knowledge through this program.”
