I am interested in the influence that Japanese constitutional law has received from German constitutional theory regarding various fundamental concepts. Recently, I have been analyzing German theories on highly abstract general concepts such as constitution, state, and constitutionalism, and comparing Japanese and German theories on individual themes in human rights theory, such as freedom of business and restrictions on basic labor rights of public officials.
Of the Code of Civil Procedure, we are interested in the computerization of proceedings, etc. I am speculating on the possibility of service of process via the Internet, discovery procedures on the Internet, and other areas like the gap industry, such as litigation procedures when artificial intelligence is developed in the future. I try to keep in mind the relationship with the principles that have been historically adopted. I also read books on international humanitarian law as a hobby.
Revision of the Civil Execution Law (property disclosure procedures, measures to prevent purchase by gangsters in real estate auctions, compulsory execution of extradition of children, etc.)
We are studying the relationship between the Code and legal development. In studying this relationship, we are specifically studying compensatory claims, assignment of claims, and termination of contracts. Today, the solution to legal problems is not solely a consequence of the law. We are confronted with the question of whether such a thing is permissible in the first place, and if so, what is the law in the first place. We are considering such issues through concrete problems.
The way the prosecutor exercises the right to prosecute, the capacity of suspects and defendants to sue, the status of victims of crimes in criminal proceedings, etc.
When, how, and what kind of facts should each party allege and what kind of evidence should be submitted during the trial process of a main case in a civil lawsuit? Such issues are the basic research topics. In relation to such a theme, I once discussed "the role of parties regarding the collection of case materials" with reference to the so-called "case clarification administration theory" in (West) Germany and Japan (Kyushu University Law Review, No. 52), and "the party-based trial structure of civil litigation" focusing on the nature of issue formation procedures (Journal of Civil Procedure, No. 38). Journal of Civil Procedure No. 38). The way the parties' activities of claiming and proving their claims in the trial process of the main proceedings of civil lawsuits should be. I would like to continue to deepen my individual and specific research on such topics and publish the results of such research when the opportunity arises.
What is the relationship between criminal law and criminal procedure law (bridging substantive and procedural law)?
How should legal philosophy and psychology be applied to criminal justice (bridging criminal law and related sciences)?
What is the relationship between practice and research (balancing the work of lawyers and professors)
