Career Guidance Session at Shibuya Makuhari Junior & Senior High School
Nishimura & Asahi partner Junya Kokaji, with associates Mariko Tokunaga and Yuriko Kawakita, held a career guidance session for students at Shibuya Kyoiku Gakuen Makuhari Junior and Senior High School.
This was a part of our firm’s legal education project. Participants ranged from third-year junior high to third-year senior high school students. Junya, Mariko, and Yuriko, all graduates of Shibuya Makuhari Senior High School, held an interactive lecture and panel discussion where they discussed how to pursue a career in law, their current practice areas, and preparing for university entrance exams.
The session was very well received by the nearly full room of lively students, who engaged with the presentation and stuck around for questions afterwards.
