Locations covered by our Japanese legal interpreters:


The Japanese Legal System

In 1868, following the feudal regime, the modernisation of Japan (Meiji Restoration) started.  The Meiji reformers were strongly influenced by legal theories that had evolved in Prussia.  The Japanese legal system is based on the civil law system.  After World War II, the Constitution was replaced, and many other laws were newly enacted or amended.

The principle of judicial review was introduced to Japan from the United States.  Overall, the Japanese legal system is closer to the continental European system.  However, U.S, common law, has modified the system.

The National Diet is the sole law-making organ of the State. However, it does not mean the Diet members draft bills. Many draft bills come from government agencies, which are then submitted to the Diet through the Cabinet.

The entirety of judicial power is vested in the Supreme Court and the lower courts (High Courts, District Courts, Family Courts and Summary Courts.) The independence of judiciary is guaranteed by the Constitution. Most judges are virtually lifetime employees of a national governmental bureaucracy: the judiciary.
