[EN] Reconsidering the Theories about the Japanese Legal Consciousness

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 Lawand 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 to waste time and read here the full version.
