The Japanese Adversary System in Context: Controversies and Comparisons

by Malcolm M. Feeley, S Miyazawa, S. Miyazawa

The Japanese legal system is at a crossroads. The contributors to this book explore the most important features of the adversary process as it works in the Japanese criminal justice system.

Many of the essays seek comparison with practices in Anglo-American countries.
