Comparative Law and Politics Seminars/Forums

The International Center for Comparative Law and Politics has been holding the Comparative Law and Politics Forum since FY 1991 and the Comparative Law and Politics Seminar since 1994 as a venue for visiting professors, short-term invitees, faculty members affiliated with the graduate school, and visiting researchers to present their research results. We have held more than 200 seminars and about 130 forums as a place for more informal discussions than seminars. (Not open to the public)
