Washington Law Review
The legal literature of the Far East and Russia, on the average lawyer's bookshelf, is not crowding out the Reporter system. Yet it may be available to him in a nearby law library In cooperation with some of those libraries, and with the Far Eastern Law Committee of the American Bar Association's Section of International and Comparative Law, the Review here initiates, for the lawyer interested, a listing of basic law books, with indication of their location.
Reforms In Japanese Criminal Procedure Under Allied Occupation, Richard B. Appleton
Reforms In Japanese Criminal Procedure Under Allied Occupation, Richard B. Appleton
Washington Law Review
In the past, reforms in Japanese criminal procedure would have been of little interest to most Americans, who have never felt it important to understand foreign legal systems. Fortunately, this attitude is beginning to change. Moreover, the United States has been officially committed to encourage a desire for individual liberties and democratic processes on the part of the Japanese people since the Potsdam Declaration of July 26, 1945. Consequently, Americans will be interested in the postwar reforms in Japanese criminal procedure, if only to be fully informed of progress toward fulfillment of the objectives of the Allied Occupation, in which …

Kent, and assigned the work of revision to Dr. Vladinur Gsovski, Chief of the Foreign Law Section of the Library of Congress.

The Parliamentary System Of Government In India, Benegal Narsing Rau
Washington Law Review
In a few weeks India will be actively engaged in framing the details of her new Constitution, which will be federal in structure and will embody the British parliamentary system of government both at the centre and in the units or states. At some of the earlier sessions of the Constituent Assembly, when the main principles of the new Constitution were being laid down, there was a fairly strong current of feeling in favour of the American presidential system and this found expression in certain decisions of the Assembly not only to the mode of election of the head of …
The Soviet Court As A Source Of Law, John N. Hazard
The Soviet Court As A Source Of Law, John N. Hazard
Washington Law Review
Common law lawyers feel themselves to be on unfamiliar ground when they try to understand the law of the Continent. They have learned to look at judicial decisions and to be sceptical of statutes until they see how they are applied by the courts. Civil law lawyers have not aided their common law colleagues. Civil law lawyers belittle the importance of court decisions and present their codes alone for examination. Soviet law, as one of the civil law family, has likewise been presented usually in terms of statutes, both to Soviet law students and to outsiders seeking to understand. There …
