Asuwaka

Asu no Jiyū o Mamoru Wakate Bengoshi no Kai (Asuwaka)

Asuwaka (明日の自由を守る若手弁護士の会, abbreviated あすわか) was founded in 2013 by 28 lawyers, aiming to publicize the problems of the constitutional draft that the Liberal Democratic Party published in 2012.

According to the website, the group reached 100 members in the first two months after its foundation, and now approximately 600 lawyers belong to this group.

They have worked on a project named “Kenpō Cafe” to organize seminars to discuss the constitution. They accept requests to dispatch participating lawyers to places throughout Japan. The information about the “Kenpō Cafe” project is available on the website.
