I am very excited to present here my latest (working) paper: “Nihonjin no Hōishikiron no Saikō” [日本人の法意識論の再考 – Reconsidering the Theories about the Japanese Legal Consciousness]. It builds on the theoretical foundations laid by Prof. Orin S. Kerr in his canonical “A Theory of Law” and on the related scholarship, extending those groundbreaking advances in legal science to the long-debated dilemma of the Japanese legal consciousness. I find it quite difficult to summarize it, therefore I warmly recommend those interested not…

I am very happy to present here the new book of Simon Vande Walle. Lacking the time necessary to write a proper book review, I just want to highlight a few points. Plenty has been written about litigation in Japan. The problem with this literature is that litigation is such a broad and heterogeneous phenomenon that it is very hard to draw  meaningful conclusions. As a result, we became stuck with intractable questions such as “do the Japanese litigate less…
