Download or read book The Japanese Legal System written by Tom Ginsburg and published by Robbins Collection. This book was released on 2012 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japan's legal system has entered its second decade since the adoption of the Justice System Reform Council Report in 2001, and its third decade of what have been called the Heisei reforms, after the current Imperial reign. This period has seen what must be characterized as steady restructuring of legal institutions, with the intention of producing a more responsive legal system. The most dramatic changes-those to legal education, to civil procedure, and to the criminal trial process with the introduction of the jury system-have now had several years to operate. Yet it is becoming clear that in numerous other areas of law there have been substantive changes, and that these may have significant consequences for Japanese society in the decades ahead. This volume seeks to provide a snapshot of many of these areas of legal change, and to explore how innovations are operating in practice.

Download or read book Going to Court to Change Japan written by Patricia G. Steinhoff and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Going to Court to Change Japan takes us inside movements dealing with causes as disparate as death by overwork, the rights of the deaf, access to prisoners on death row, consumer product safety, workers whose companies go bankrupt, and persons convicted of crimes they did not commit. Each of the six fascinating case studies stands on its own as a detailed account of how a social movement has persisted against heavy odds to pursue a cause through the use of the courts. The studies pay particular attention to the relationship between the social movement and the lawyers who handle their cases, usually pro bono or for minimal fees. Through these case studies we learn much about how the law operates in Japan as well as how social movements mobilize and innovate to pursue their goals using legal channels. The book also provides a general introduction to the Japanese legal system and a look at how recent legal reforms are working. Going to Court to Change Japan will interest social scientists, lawyers, and anyone interested in the inner workings of contemporary Japan. It is suitable for use in a wide range of undergraduate and graduate courses on Japan in social sciences and law, and can also provide a comparative perspective to general courses in these fields. Contributors include John H. Davis Jr., Daniel H. Foote, Patricia L. Maclachlan, Karen Nakamura, Scott North, Patricia G. Steinhoff, and Christena Turner.

Download or read book Rule of Law in Japan A Comparative Analysis What You See May Not Be What You Get written by Carl F. Goodman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2002-12-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses various Japanese legal topics in comparison to the United States approach to these same topics and analyzes whether what you see as the written law in Japan is what you get in reality. The foundation for the present Japanese legal system is explored, as is the structure, makeup, and independence of the Japanese judiciary and legal professions. The application of the Japanese Constitution to activities of and limitations on powers of the Japanese government are analyzed, as are the scope and limitations of the Japanese constitutional guarantees of religious freedom, sexual equality, equal rights, and rights of the criminally accused. The special Renunciation of War clause of the Japanese Constitution and court decisions dealing with the clause are analyzed to discover how the clause has gone from prohibiting all military establishments to permitting a world class military. Substantive legal areas, including contracts, treaties, and corporate law, are discussed. The Japanese civil litigation system, the perceived shortcoming in that system and currently ongoing steps at judicial reform are analyzed. Similarly, the attempt of the American Occupation to significantly change the administrative law of Japan by incorporating American legal concepts in Japanese administrative law is compared to the actual legal state of affairs in Japan. The text discusses the concepts underlying the reasons for the difference between the written law in Japan and the actual working of the Japanese legal system and considers how the ongoing process of judicial reform in Japan, which has as its stated goal the advancement of the Rule of Law, may affect changes in the legal system as Japan moves its legal system into the 21st Century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Peter Nwankwo argues based on this textbook volume I, that the world has been turned into a global village, and that we have no reason(s) to ignore the awareness of what is going on in other countries of the world. This textbook "Criminology and criminal Justice System of the world: A comparative perspective" is a unique text, not because of its title, but because it contains what will ever be needed for the undergraduate and graduate students in the field of Criminology and Criminal Justice, especially those taking a course in Comparative Criminal Justice. The text is prodigious and profusely descriptive, explored, and explained by researching the police, the court systems, corrections or prisons, including Juvenile Justice Systems and Crime Statistics in the following countries: United States of America, china, Saudi Arabia, Japan, The Netherlands, Bulgaria, Haiti, Botswana, Philippines, Uganda, and Israel. It is worthy to note that the United States of America had too much information, so it was necessary to split it into two chapters i.e. chapter one, and chapter two. Additionally, The Netherlands was also split into two chapters thus: Chapters 6 & 7: The overall Chapters in this Volume I are thirteen. VOLUME II Volume two of this text contains twenty four chapters and over 24 countries were researched and included as follows, and will be published in a few in a few months .The countries are: Nigeria, Norway, Northern Ireland, England and Wales, Estonia, Ethiopia, Egypt, South America, Mauritania, Jamaica, Iraq, Dominican Republic, Turkey, South Africa, Russia, Kenya, Romania, Congo, Germany, France, Cameroon, Ghana and Denmark. No matter the adversities of the readers and purchasers, I do strongly advice that you order these two volumes together, when the later would be available on the internet or through the publishers.
Download or read book The Metamorphosis of Criminal Justice written by Jacqueline S. Hodgson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-16 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Metamorphosis of Criminal Justice, Jacqueline S. Hodgson focuses on the potentially radical and fundamental changes taking place within criminal justice in Britain and in France and the ways that these are driven by wider domestic, European or international concerns. This metamorphosis away from established values and practices is eroding what were once regarded as core rights and freedoms in the name of efficiency, security, and justice to victims. Beginning with a comparative analysis of adversarial and inquisitorial procedural values and traditions, and an examination of broad trends in domestic and European criminal justice, Hodgson then discusses how the roles of prosecution and defense have been re-shaped in different ways in both jurisdictions--both in the text of the law and in their practices. The final section considers how systems within different procedural traditions adapt to address, or provide a remedy for, systemic flaws that produce wrongful convictions and in particular, the role of the defense in these procedures. By adopting an empirical and comparative approach, this book explores the nature and reach of these trends and the ways that they challenge and disrupt criminal processes and values.
Download or read book The Role of Courts in Japan Seen from a Comparative German Perspective written by Harald Baum and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In trying to develop a comparative evaluation of the role courts play in Japanese society, this article deals with three different aspects: first, the institutional similarities and differences that can be observed between the court systems in Japan and Germany; second, the access to justice in both countries; and finally, the role of courts in shaping the legal order, constitutional and otherwise.Viewed from the German perspective, the institutional setting of courts, the way court proceedings are conducted, and how young jurists are trained in Japan looks fairly familiar at first glance. At the center of the judicial systems in both countries we see a cadre of highly skilled professional career judges.However, upon closer inspection some differences show up. One example is the different way courts deal with constitutional matters. In the course of the last sixty years, the Japanese Supreme Court struck down fewer than ten laws on constitutional grounds. In contrast, the German Constitutional Court disqualified more than six hundred legislative and administrative provisions as unconstitutional. This seems to imply that the Japanese Supreme Court has opted for a conservative, restrained judicial and political role. But on the other hand, the Court does assume a very active role in the broad field of civil law where it rendered a large number of decisions that had wide-reaching impact on society. These decisions are anything but conservative or restrained.The main difference between the institutional settings in both countries is less judicial and more political, and it is based on how access to justice is organized. In Germany we see an open market for legal talent and an affirmative policy encouraging the use of courts; in Japan, important recent reforms notwithstanding, regulating access to justice still seems to be inspired by a tendency to outguess the market.
