Practitioners who deal with Japanese law have put great store by earlier editions of this major work, which systematically compares United States (US) law and Japanese law across all the major fields of legal practice. This fourth revised edition updates the work with the continuing dramatic changes in Japan's legal system, including changes in criminal trials, disclosures to defense counsel of evidence to be used by the prosecution, the increasing use of recordings of interrogation sessions, and the impact of the indigenous movement for judicial reform. All chapters have been updated.In the fourth revised edition, which follows the same comparative structure as formerly, author Carl Goodman an internationally known authority with extensive experience in international practice, university teaching in both Japan and the US, and US government service - takes expert stock of new developments, including the following: the Cabinet's Declaration reinterpreting the Renunciation of War Clause in the Constitution and legislation following such reinterpretation; interpretation of new rules for international jurisdiction of Japanese courts, including the new law's effect on mirror image lawsuits filed in Japan; the Supreme Court's rulings dealing with the presumption of paternity, the waiting period for remarriage after divorce, and inheritance rights of out of wedlock children; international and domestic Japanese child custody; unanticipated consequences of criminal trials before the new mixed lay/professional panels; debate concerning the Emperor's announcement of his desired abdication; and an update of Japan's experiment with new graduate legal faculties.Although the alteration of the legal landscape in Japan is highly visible, the author does not hesitate to raise questions as to how far-reaching the changes really are. In almost every branch of the new Japanese legal practice he uncovers ways in which laws and judicial rulings are closely qualified and are likely to present challenges in any given case. He reminds the reader in each chapter that what you see may not be what you get. For this reason, and for its comprehensive coverage, this new edition is sure to gain new adherents as the best-informed practical guide for non-Japanese lawyers with dealings in Japan.
