Das Japanische im japanischen Recht (What is Japanese in Japanese Law?)

This volume presents the results of the sixth international symposium of the German Institute for Japanese Studies. As three systems of foreign law, namely those of China, Europe and the United States, influenced Japan, it is difficult to determine if there is something that can be called a typical Japanese element of law. In this publication sixteen fields of law are discussed by German lawyers who have essential experience in Japan. Their reports are commented on by Japanese lawyers who have knowledge of the German legal system.
