Outline (in English)

Course outline
Regarding legal documents created from the standpoint of a lawyer, by having them actually draft a legal document within the lecture time on the premise of a simple case, confirm the practical ability of legal thinking required in practice, and look back on the theory from there.
The purpose is to "practice and look back on theory".

Learning Objectives
Apply the knowledge and understanding of the law that you have learned so far to specific cases so that you can draft the basic contents of typical legal documents.
At that time, while being aware of the so-called requirement facts, we will be able to make drafts that are not limited to that, but are also aware of legal requirements and legal effects.
Through the above, you will acquire the ability to apply fact-based laws and be able to think practically.

Learning activities outside of classroom
As a pre-class preparation for drafting, read the relevant part of the basic document of the Procedure Law concerning the document. However, before drafting the content certification mail and the draft of the notarial act, search the text to find out where the content certification mail is legally a problem and when the notarial act is legally a problem. Or search from the index of the basic book to check.
After making the draft, before the commentary class, how to check the legal requirements and legal effects of the substantive law part that became a problem in the draft in the basic book, and then compare it with the problematic case. I will reconsider whether the fitting was possible.
After the commentary lesson, while referring to the resume, read the basic book of the relevant part again and review how the lesson content is related to the content of the basic book.
Through the above, we will confirm the importance of legal homes and legal effects at the basic book level.
The standard preparatory study and review time for this class is 2 hours each.

Grading Criteria /Policy
Evaluate at normal points.
At that time, we will refer to 6 in-class drafts and questions and answers in class, and evaluate the drafts at a rate of 90% and the questions and answers at a rate of 10%.
Each draft is scored by A (excellent), B (good), C (possible), D (impossible).
