Research Abstract

In the medical malpractice lawsuits in Japan, it has been recognized that the trial periods usually are longer than others, especially compared with the normal civil cases, because of the specialty and the complexity of the content of the cases. Therefore, shortening the trial period, and constructing an efficient trial model by whom to reduce cost and the time for the lawsuit, became problematic. However, there is a possibility that the patient's understanding, consent, and the satisfaction to the trial are treated lightly, when efficiency is pursued in excess., because a medical technical term is used in court, though it is difficult for general persons to understand lawyer's dialects and legal terminologies. Therefore, the following point was clarified in our study. Though it is important to construct the efficient trial model in court, it is important to attempt the enhancement of communications including the specialist, expert witnesses, etc. for the litigant might not alienated in court at the same time.
