An essay contest run by Asahi University (Gifu) and the Gifu Law-Related Education Study Group, backed by the Ministry of Justice, asking students what they learned about rules and law in class or daily life. Junior high and high school essays are 1,600-2,000 characters; entries close on 12 January 2027.
Theme: what you learned from lessons on rules or law-related education (e.g. learning rules in PE or classes on resolving disputes with law), or what you think about society, law, systems and rules in everyday life. Handwritten or word-processed on 400-character manuscript paper. Outstanding essays receive certificates from the Gifu Prefectural Board of Education, the Gifu Bar Association president and the supporting organisations (MOJ, NHK Gifu, major newspapers).
