• Alternative Dispute Resolution in Japanese : Judicial Reform Movement

  Takahashi Hiroshi

  The situation around Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in Japan after 1990 has been rapidly changed, and the judicial reform movement accelerate that. This paper aims to describe and analyze the constellation of ADR concepts held by legal/ economic/ political actors in the judicial reform movement in recent Japan and tries to extract the generic demand of ADR in modern society from the Japanese situation. It concludes that needs for the use of expert knowledge which widely spread over many fields in modern society may lead inevitably the informalization of judicial procedure, and that phenomenon requires us to reconsider the significance of "Legalism".

It is revealed that civil mediation at the Tokyo District Court mainly concerned with the financial arrangement between parties rather than the achievement of legally valid results.

• Functions and Characteristics of Environmental Disputes Mediation in Japan

  Takahashi Hiroshi

  This paper aims to identify the functions and the characteristics of environmental disputes mediation in Japan in comparison with that in USA. Major findings can be summarized as follows; Japanese mediation by KOGAI-TO CHOSEI IINKAI (Environmental Disputes Coordination Commission) has achieved a realization of fast and cheep procedure, sometimes offers the only negotiation place to the citizens, and the results of the mediation usually sustain the status quo around the problem. Compared with mediation in USA which is characterized as an important part of administrative decision-making process, Japanese mediation seldom plays such a roll, and even when Japanese mediation influences the administrative decision, that seems to be done in more ad hoc way than in USA.

  What kinds of legal problems and disputes do people experience in their everyday life in contemporary Japan, and how do they deal with those problems and disputes? This study aims to answer these questions comprehensively and empirically by integrating quantitative and qualitative methods, with a focus on the major changes in Japanese society as the "super-aging society." Based upon the results of our carefully designed surveys, many invaluable findings are obtained regarding the dynamics of actual disputes and the social functions of legal system in contemporary Japan. The findings of this study provide us with many valuable implications for judicial policy in Japan. Furthermore, our study is seminal in that the findings of this study on the characteristics of legal problems and disputes in a "super-aging society" will ignite the development of international collaborative socio-legal studies, especially with the scholars from similarly situated aging societies.

  TTo complete an empirical study of the history of German-Japanese legal rerations, we integrated the materials on Japanese German students who had studied in Germany, and created the basis of the database. The main contents of this are photographic data of registration records (Matrikel) of Japanese students at the universities, certificates of completion, doctoral dissertations and examination materials. In addition, we collected almost all the original materials related to studying in Germany in the University of Tokyo Archives. Based on these materials, we will hold various discussions to deepen our knowledge and consideration, and some of our achievements will be published in the magazine “Thoughts and History of Law” (Shinzanasha), which I will edit, and will be published periodical.

  This project provides the theories of policy-realization by private sector. It is based on the perspective that the exercise of a private right, as well as administrative or criminal means, is a means to a policy-realization. At the same time, this project proposes legislative and institutional theories and specific institutional designs. They are based on the analysis of the merits and demerits of vesting rights to private sector.

• Cultural Confrontations in Courtrooms: Linguistic Analysis

  OZAKI Ichiro

  Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Hokkaido University, 01 Apr. 2014 - 31 Mar. 2019

  We carried out empirical researches on cultural confrontations in courtrooms in Japan, Taiwan, and Belgium. With the world being globalized rapidly, foreign travelers and immigrants have come to appear more frequently in a courtroom as defendants, accused or witnesses. We analyzed what cultural differences among the actors (especially legal professions and accused foreigners) impinge on the legitimacy of the judiciary and legal system as a whole. What we found is (1) most legal professions are unconscious and insensitive about the cultural confrontations in a courtroom because they only look to legal frameworks that absorb and reduce complex matters stemming from cultural differences into the legalistic formulae, and (2) the cultural confrontations are, therefore, repressed and made invisible which contribute cyclically to the unconsciousness and insensitivity of the judiciary.

  This study aims at exploring the reality of the experiences of the disaster victims at the time of and after disaster through empirical socio-legal investigation and understanding the social construction of their legal needs. The key findings of this study are as follows: legal needs of the disaster victims tends to be unfelt/ unrecognized by themselves; the local structure of the legal service provider is one of the most vital factors eliciting their potential legal needs. Furthermore, this study has put forth some policy recommendations for improving the “Comprehensive Legal Support System” and developed a general theoretical framework for the socio-legal study on legal needs on the basis of Amartya Sen’s capability approach.

  Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A), Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A), Kobe University, 31 Oct. 2012 - 31 Mar. 2017

  The measures for judicial reform in Japan in 2000s introduced major structural changes in education, number, and styles of work of legal profession. This study empirically and theoretically examined the changes of regulation of legal profession after 2000s. The study revealed the changes in public perception of professional responsibilities and trustworthiness, longitudinal changes in professional discipline decisions, changes in the related structure of local professional associations. The study also examined the situation of professional regulation in several jurisdictions in Australia and England. The findings of this research project suggest the existence of strain between self-regulation and state-regulation of profession in several areas of professional discipline activities.

• How Do the Lay Judges in Europe Evaluate their Jury Systems? : on Legitimacy of Citizen Participation in Judicial Procedure

  OZAKI Ichiro, TAKAHASHI Hiroshi, IKEDA Kimihiro, HAMANO Ryo, VANOVERBEKE Dimitri

  Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Hokkaido University, 01 Apr. 2010 - 31 Mar. 2014

  In Western Europe, especially Belgium, we find strong abolitionist attitudes and opinions toward jury system among professional judges, attorneys, and journalists. Lay judges, on the other hand, come to hold through their experiences in court positive views on citizen participation in judicial procedure. The ostensible conflict is consistently comprehensible with a theoretical framework that consists of distinction about legitimacy of institution between (a) primordial legitimacy conferred unconsciously by society and (b) functional legitimacy which is to be often reflected and reviewed by some professions and specialists.

  Contemporary Judicial System Reform in Japan may be taken as a 'punctuated equilibrium' of the System from the perspective of New Institutionalism. The perspective enables us to see other aspect of the Reform than functional activation of judiciary in the globalizing world. The historical development and punctuation of the Judiciary Institutions is also defined by the legal culture of Japan.

• A Comparative Study of the Rule of Law in Korea and Japan with Reference to Cultural Notion of Personal Ties

  Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), The University of the Air, 2002 - 2003

  This research aimed at empirical, comparative analyses of the workings of the Korean and Japanese legal systems in the period when their social systems is moving from state directed to privatized systems. This research was conducted with cooperation of some Korean researchers mainly in English language. Data used included the existing data concerning Korean and Japanese lawyers (mainly judges and attorneys) as well those on the patterns of legal service provision in Japan. On the basis of a basic survey of the judicial system of the each country, and according to the choice of each participating researcher, the following topics were studied on both countries in a parallel fashion : the educational background of the lawyers, judicial career patterns, long term trends of litigation rates, the development of mega law firms, and judicial reform. It became clear that political and economic circumstances, notably the decade-long dictatorial government followed by a radical democratization as well as economic development in Korea in the 1980's, were indispensable factors in understanding diverging responses of the institutionally similar legal systems to the changing circumstances. The cultural notion of "En" (personal ties) was selected as a constant reference point for comparative analyses, but no attempt was made to establish its influence in empirical term. Rather, this notion was viewed as a background element persisting in the transformation of the legal processes and the systems of judiciary and legal profession corresponding to the changing historical, political and economic contexts as well as each legal system's efforts to cope with its changing circumstances. As results, some hypothetical propositions emerged. For example, the introduction of formal institutions in both countries, such as the rigorous examination system and the state-centered, bureaucratic organization of legal expertise, had the mission of cutting off the influence of personal relationships for building up a legal system of Western type capable of coping with the globalizing world. In the case of judicial reform, contrasting features of confrontation oriented style in Korean and consensus oriented style in Japan of managing institutional changes were suggested


• Proposal for the Public Project Control Act

  The purpose of this research is to examine the problems on the public projects in Japan, and to propose the Public Project Control Act ("PPCA") to make these projects better for the people. The jurisdiction of the PPCA should be broader than the definition adopted by the government. Rather, the PPCA should cover all project affecting physical situations that could be treated somehow different from a pure private project because of the relation to the Public Welfare. The PPCA should declare the fundamental policies for the public projects. The policies include avoidance of excessive governmental deficit, elimination of projects not promoting the Public Welfare, environmental protection, efficient management of the construction process. In these days in Japan, it is popular that the government declare important policies as "Fundamental Policy Act." The PPCA also should be enacted as a "Fundamental Policy Act".
