Great! Now he can be an excellent lawyer and find loopholes in the system.

I wonder if this law firm that hired Komura Kei regrets taking him on and all the baggage. They have foot the bill for his studies, and he plans to take the New York bar exam, which means he most likely will stay in the US. So what did they get for their investment? And this is now the second time someone else has ponied up for Komura's education!

The important thing is whether he can speak up that I doubt.

That's great. It's passing the bar that counts here.

Total waste of time. US schools suck.

So did you get undereducated there or something...

Brilliant!

The Japanese version of Meghan Markle. Marriage for convenience, money and status.

Maybe they should apply that to members of the British royal family. When family members who are not immediate heirs to the throne, get married they become commoners and leave the family.

They technically have, and now they're clogging up all those afternoon yik-yak shows on TV.

When King Edward VIII gave up his crown to marry Mrs. Simpson, he became a duke. Then during WW2 they were exiled to the Bahamas because they sympathisized with the Axis. Go figure.

His education costs at Fordham would’ve easily run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars; something mainstream media here appears to be under instruction never to mention. Or, in the vaguest and most cursory way. If it ever comes out that the public purse funded his fifty thousand plus annual school fees and God knows how much in ancillary expenses for his extended US sojourn, there’ll be hell to pay.

Is there some reason to believe that his law school education was funded by the public?

Only the absence of a categorical refutation allaying suspicion that it is.
