This book presents a comprehensive account of past and present
efforts to introduce the jury system in Japan. Four legal reforms
are documented and assessed: the implementation of the bureaucratic
and all-judge special jury systems in the 1870s, the introduction
of the all-layperson jury in the late 1920s, the transplantation of
the Anglo-American-style jury system to Okinawa under the U.S.
Occupation, and the implementation of the mixed-court lay judge
(saiban'in) system in 2009. While being primarily interested in the
related case studies, the book also discusses the instances when
the idea of introducing trial by jury was rejected at different
times in Japan's history. Why does legal reform happen? What are
the determinants of success and failure of a reform effort? What
are the prospects of the saiban'in system to function effectively
in Japan? This book offers important insights on the questions that
lie at the core of the law and society debate and are highly
relevant for understanding contemporary Japan and its recent and
distant past.
