The PSIM Consortium and NITA

On February 9 several individuals from NITA traveled to Tokyo and Nagoya, Japan, to discuss and plan for NITA’s relationship with the PSIM Consortium, a collection of 25 law schools throughout Japan that are dedicated to improving the study of law. For the next three years NITA will be working with the Consortium to provide translated materials, a faculty exchange, a customized teacher training program, and allow for many of the participating Japanese professors to attend NITA programs in the United States so that members of the Consortium can get a feel for the NITA method.

According to Lonny Rose, NITA's CEO & President, the goal is to develop the curriculum and methods to increase the skills of future Japanese lawyers and to promote the public’s confidence in the Japanese justice system.
