Standards Of Proof In Japan And The United States, Kevin M. Clermont Jan 2004

Standards Of Proof In Japan And The United States, Kevin M. Clermont

Cornell International Law Journal

This article treats the striking divergence between Japanese and U.S. civil cases as to standards of proof. The civil law of Japan requires that facts be proven to a high probability similar to beyond a reasonable doubt, while the common law of the United States requires that the burdened party satisfy merely a more-likely-than-not standard. This divergence not only entails great practical consequences, but also suggests a basic difference in attitudes toward the process of trial. As to the historical causation of the difference in standards of proof, civil law and common law standards diverged in the late eighteenth century, …

Multidisciplinary Practice In The International Context: Realigning The Perspective On The European Union’S Regulatory Regime, George C. Nnona Jan 2004

Multidisciplinary Practice In The International Context: Realigning The Perspective On The European Union’S Regulatory Regime, George C. Nnona

Cornell International Law Journal

Multidisciplinary practice (MDP) and the controversy surrounding it have ebbed in the wake of the Enron scandal and the subsequent enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. However, legal professionals continue to debate the viability of MDP and rules that currently prohibit lawyer fee-sharing arrangements and partnerships with non-lawyers-some of the rules that aim to safeguard lawyer independence from external influences. This Article addresses one of the most common arguments supporting MDP, namely, that the pervasive propagation of MDP in Europe will inevitably exert an overwhelming influence and pressure to conform on regulators of the legal profession in the United States. The …
