Today, I had the pleasure to hold a lecture at Nihon University College of Law, Tokyo, on the new German partnership law having come into force at the beginning of this year. NUCL is a partner of the JGU faculty of law, management and economics. My gratitude for the opportunity to talk to the keen and ambitious Japanese law students of NUCL as well as to come to Tokyo to meet the esteemed members of NUCL faculty goes first and foremost to Dean Tsukasa Oda who is a special friend to our law faculty in Mainz. Furthermore, I would like to extend my thanks to Professor Rikiya Sakamoto who takes care of all the organizational matters that arise.
