Guide to Japanese Legal Literature

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  13 February 2019

Abstract

With regard to the development of law, legal science has played an important role in Japan. Therefore, publications such as treatises and articles that deal with legal science are considered extremely important. The legal system of Japan is a result of the reception of European code law, mainly from Germany and France. Besides the legal system, legal science was also adopted concurrently from Germany and other countries, and the position in which legal science is placed in Japan is very similar to that in those countries.
