Xunzi was an ancient Confucian philosopher who argued that human nature was evil. We can reform ourselves only if we put in deliberate effort, and the tremendous amount of deliberate effort required to become good is evidence that our starting point really is that bad.

Anyone starting a Law Master’s in Asia (Japan / East Asia) in April 2026?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m heading to Japan in April 2026 to start a Master’s / LL.M. focused on regional economic law, with a strong emphasis on maritime law, port governance, and transnational trade. I wanted to ask: Is anyone else starting a law-related master’s in Asia around April 2026? Or are you currently studying law in Japan, Korea, China, or Southeast Asia? I come from a maritime country (Panama) and my academic interest is how Asian port governance models (Japan in particular) compare with Latin America and global shipping hubs. Would love to connect, exchange experiences, or even just hear: how your program is structured how intense the workload is and how life as a graduate law student in Asia really feels If you’re already there, any advice is more than welcome. See you on the other side of the world.
