The Japanese Adversary System in Context by M Feeley

The Japanese Adversary System in Context by M Feeley

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. Topics include the right to remain silent, wire tapping, the role of defence counsel, plea bargaining, the power of prosecutors, juvenile justice and judicial independence. Many of the essays seek comparison with practices in Anglo-American countries.

'..a cogent analysis of contexts, controversies, and comparisons in contemporary Japanese criminal justice.' - T.M. Vestal, Choice
