Rights Protection in Japan
Security of rights against oppressive government was one of the major goals of the American occupiers who drafted the 1947 Japanese Constitution. The framers expected that the judiciary in Japan would play the same role in protecting individual rights that the courts played in the United States.

Finally, the implic…

The intentions of the rules' framers are explored as are hypotheses as to why they have been only partially successful. On the basis of this analysis, the author argues that adversary presentation and prosecution must be modified in the direction of a system of direct inquir…
