Research Abstract

In this study, the function of the court persentation through the TV conference system, which is a new witness examination method introdued in the law of civil procedure in Japan, are analized. Three experiments are conducted in order to examin its effects on decision-making processes of observer, lawyer's way of witness examinations and witnesses's behaviors. In result, we find that observers can make decisions through the TV conference system almost same way as ordinay examination, if the quality of the image is kept fine. Evaluations of lawyers and witnesses on examination through the TV conference systems are also not so different from those of ordinary examination except emotional communication. Reviews on researches show many researches regarding the TV conference system are conducting in the fields of business, educations and medical care. Researches on the TV conference system are gradually increseing its number even in the legal area. It is hope to apply results in the other areas to the legal area.
As a result, the witness examination through the TV conference system has no big evil effects and is as useful as ordinary witness examination at least to find the truth. If we use it in proper way, the witness examination through the TV conference system is sometimes more useful than ordinary witness examination device. To be found is in what conditions it will be use in the most effective way.
