- Summary:
- Japan's legal system is based mainly on the model of prewar German and Soviet legal theory. Thus, the system is grounded not in judicial precedent but in the laws of the constitution. Culturally, the Japanese aren't very litigious; they generally prefer arbitration and compromise to instituting lawsuits. Lawyers encourage settlement out of court for all disputes, and the amount of money awarded as compensation is a fraction of the amounts awarded elsewhere. Learn more about how the Japanese view the legal system, contracts, and the role of the courts.
