Obtaining justice through Japan's civil justice system requires a nuanced understanding of Japanese legal culture, particularly the fundamental differences between the notion of individual rights that underlies American law and the adversarial system, and the deeply ingrained sense of 'group rights' and conciliation that is becoming more a part of the way law in Japan is actually practiced.
Also offers a checklist of differing societal and cultural approaches of the American and Japanese systems that have major impact on current legal practices, as well as in-depth analysis of: the philosophical bent of the supreme court; how the judicial system has responded to the demands of the urban population; how new reforms in lawyer training are expected to improve the civil justice system ; and contemporary avenues and uses of alternative dispute resolution.

It's long been known that Japanese file fewer lawsuits per capita than Americans do. Using evidence from tort claims across many domains, Ramseyer argues that Japan's court system is designed not to find perfect justice, but to "make do"--to adopt strategies that are mostly right and that thereby resolve disputes quickly and economically.

It also addresses many current issues that illustrate important changes in Japanese society and its political and legal systems.
