Having recently completed twenty-seven years on the bench of the International Court of Justice in The Hague, I have just returned to Sendai, Japan, my home town. Please permit me therefore to offer some personal recollections of the time fifty years ago when, as a graduate law student from occupied Japan traveling on a passport issued by General MacArthur, Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers in Japan, I began preparation of my doctoral dissertation at Yale Law School.

The Rise Of The Code Of Conduct In Japan: Legal Analysis And Prospect, Koji Ishikawa
ExpressO
A code of conduct is a set of rules adopted by transnational corporations (“TNCs”) to regulate mainly working conditions and the management of contract factories. TNCs adopted codes of conduct to cope with the rising criticisms from the public in late 1980s and 1990s about unfair labor practices in contract factories in Third World countries. As the globalization of the economy progressed, like American TNCs, Japanese TNCs also transferred their production bases to developing countries like China, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia in search of low wage labor.

Contractual Stipulation For Judicial Review And Discovery In United States-Japan Arbitration Contracts, Norman T. Braslow
Seattle University Law Review
This Article discusses in detail how the arbitration process in both the United States and Japan can very often result in injustice to both parties. Part II describes how limitations on discovery can cause vital information necessary to either prosecute or defend a claim to never appear before the arbitrator. The article then discusses the possibility of including provisions that might ameliorate this problem. Next, this Part examines specific examples of situations where the arbitrators can ignore the civil rules of evidence and admit evidence that would be inadmissible in a court of law.
