Democratization Of The Family Relation In Japan, Sakae Wagatsuma
Washington Law Review
After the war, that part of the Japanese Civil Code which relates to family relationships, i.e., Book IV, Relatives, and Book V, Succession, underwent a thorough-going amendment, the chief objective of which was to democratize the legal relations among Japanese family members. As the main features of this amendment of the Japanese Civil Code have been explained in detail by Mr. Kurt Steiner in "Postwar Changes in the Japanese Civil Code" in the August issue of this Review, it appears advisable for the present writer to lay stress on the following two points: (1) public opinion on the amendment of …

The Law Against Discrimination In Employment, Frank P. Helsell
Washington Law Review
During its 1949 session, the legislature of the state of Washington enacted Chapter 183, a law known as "The Law against Discrimination in Employment." That law follows in a general way the form and the substance of the New York law entitled, "Law against Discrimination," enacted in 1945, but the authors of the Washington Act adopted some of the provisions of the Connecticut Act relating to procedure.

The Washington law declares that practices of discrimnation because of race, creed, color, or …
Postwar Changes In The Japanese Civil Code, Kurt Steiner
Postwar Changes In The Japanese Civil Code, Kurt Steiner
Washington Law Review
The developments of law in Japan since the beginning of the Occupation have been marked by an increased influence of Anglo-Saxon legal ideas. For example, future legal historians concerning themselves with the Japanese Code of Criminal Procedure may wel find that a new period, the Anglo-American period, began during the Occupation. The revision of the Civil Code in 1947, however, would more properly be considered as the second step of the reform of civil law which began in the Meiji Era. It completes the transition of Japanese civil law to the continental European family of law
The Growing-Up Stick (A Book Review For Washington Lawyers). Miniumum Standards Of Judicial Administration, Edited By Arthur T. Vanderbilt (1949), John N. Rupp
Washington Law Review
The book at hand goes a considerable way to fill this need for a set of standards, although the editor, Hon. Arthur T. Vanderbilt, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New Jersey, and a former eminent President of the American Bar Association, vigorously emphasizes the fact that these are "the minimum standards needed in a practical way to make our court procedure work in the twentieth century." These standards have the firm support of the American Bar Association and the National Conference of Judicial Councils. In the introduction to the volume Judge Vanderbilt tells how and why these standards …

Revisions Of The Criminal Code Of Japan During The Occupation, Howard Meyers
Revisions Of The Criminal Code Of Japan During The Occupation, Howard Meyers
Washington Law Review
With the coming into force of the new Constitution of Japan on May 3, 1947, the Criminal Code had to be revised to excise those provisions which were contrary to the Constitution, since Article 98 of that document declared that such provisions had no legal force or validity. A Legislative Investigation Committee was appointed by the Japanese government, composed of leading judges, law professors, procurators, and officials of the Ministry of Justice. The writer worked with members of this group, as the representative of SCAP (Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers). The first and principal Code revision was submitted in …
