Professor Mariko Igimi believes that there are important lessons that can be learned from exploring Roman law. Based at Kyushu University, Japan, Igimi is researching Roman law and the important retrospective lessons it has for modern legal systems and society. In particular, she is interested in slave labour in ancient Rome and exploring the relationship between Roman slaves and their owners. She believes discoveries from this research can be applied to modern law, specifically the relationship between employers and employees in Japan, as well as AI-related legal issues.
