About the Seiho-kai
正法会研究室は、学研連：中央大学学術研究団体連合会に属する司法試験・法科大学院受験団体です。1935年（昭和10年）の創立以来、90年近くにわたって全国で活躍する580名以上の法曹を輩出してきました。元日本弁護士連合会会長や最高裁判所判事をはじめとして、法曹だけでなく研究者や官僚、政治家などOB・OGの活躍の場は多岐にわたります。 多摩キャンパスにおける「炎の塔」の機能が2023年の法学部の茗荷谷キャンパス移転に伴い移転してからは、茗荷谷キャンパス地下2階の「学生研究フロア」において昼夜学修に励んでいます。正法会には、伝統と実績に裏打ちされた、早期合格を目指して室員相互で切磋琢磨しあうことができる環境が整っています。 若年合格者の輩出に情熱を傾ける指導委員（現役の弁護士・司法修習生等）による各科目のゼミ等の親身な指導を受けながら、法律家に求められる理解力・論理的思考能力・推理力・判断力を涵養することができます。新室員は入室後すぐに、以後の学修の指針となる入門ゼミを受けることができます。
There are a total of 62 fixed seats, and each member is granted one desk/locker.
The front room, called mae-shitsu, is equipped with a water server, refrigerator, microwave, vacuum cleaner, etc. In the naka-shitsu (back room), where students study, there is a humidifier so that students can study in the best possible environment.
In addition, seminar rooms are available for discussions, seminars, and other mutual learning activities among the members.

正法会の歴史を辿る
昭和10年、当時の中央大学旧大学校舎（駿河台）のとある教室の一角に、高等文官試験（現在の司法試験）を目指す学生たちが集まるようになりました。
これが現在まで90年間続くことになる、学研連等研究室のはじまりです。
以来、中央大学は「法科の中央」と呼ばれるように、数多くの法律家を輩出し続けています。
正法会には約580名の法律家をはじめ，公務員や民間企業など数多くの分野で活躍する先輩会員が約1300名いらっしゃいます。
Feedback from Seniors
Congratulations to all first year students on your admission.
Basic information about Seiho-kai is provided on this website and in the pamphlet, so I will try to write a more realistic story here as a current member.
What I feel good about joining Seiho-kai is that it resolves my concerns about studying for the bar exam in particular. University is very different from my previous student life in that the majority of study is left to the independent decision of the individual. In this context, it is not difficult to imagine that it is a tough road to pass the National Bar Examination and Preliminary Bar Examination, which are considered to be the most difficult national qualifications. There will be no end to your concerns about how to study law, how to prepare for exam trends, careers, and so on.
However, there are many members of Seiho-kai who are eager to study hard, and you can share information with them on a daily basis. The opportunity to casually talk with seniors who are more advanced in their studies is a rare opportunity at a university. In addition, Seiho-kai has two study rooms: a back room and a front room with many books, a refrigerator, etc.
In the front room, members chat and laugh with each other, ask questions about their studies, and actively interact with each other beyond their grade level. I often go to the front room when I feel stuck in my studies to refresh myself and gain new insights. In particular, I have received a lot of concrete advice from seniors who have passed the bar exam, such as correction of legal papers and pacing of study!
And one of the attractions of Seiho-kai is the free atmosphere. This was one of the main reasons why I decided to take the entrance exam for Seiho-kai. Not only is there no obligation to attend the room, but participation in seminars is also voluntary, so you can study at your own pace without being tied down by the group. I also had both a club activity and a part-time job during my first year, so to joining this organization is also a good option for those who are concerned about their ability to balance their studies and other activities!
Belonging to the Gakkenren and other research groups, including this Seiho-kai, is extremely beneficial for those who are considering taking the bar exam. Through interactions on the second basement floor and basic seminars in the Myogadani Laboratory, you will be able to meet friends who will work hard and engage in friendly competition with you as you study for the bar exam. In fact, I have formed an independent seminar with my friends in the same year and enjoy studying while receiving regular stimulation!
Please consider the Seiho-kai as an opportunity to take the admission examination for the 112th term.
We are sincerely looking forward to your admission!
