Research Abstract

This research aimes at making clear the state of conflict-resolution in modern society. It consists of three parts. Firstly, it deals with law-consciousness of the citizens from two aspects. The first is on the direction of law-consciousness and the second on the depth of law-consciousness. In case of the former, two sets of consepts of "individualism"-"mutualism" and "public-oriented-attitude"-"private-oriented-attitude" are used as mesures. On the other hand, "normalism"-"specialism" is used as a mesure in the latter. We find out that "mutualism" is most popular, but "private-oriented-attitude" seems to be slightly stronger than "public-oriented-attitude". In other words, Japanese would agree with an idea that people should co-poerate one another to build a better society as far as they never ruin their own rights to live a good life. Secondly, this research focuses on the citizens conflict-resolution. We take up two problems here. One is on the orientation to conflict-resolution, and the other is on the experience of confilict-resolution. It is clear that people would have a tendency to use a secondary agency more than a primary agency of conflict-resolution from the viewpoint of orientation, and that a secondary agency of conflict-resolution is quite important for the citizens as well from the viewpoint of experience. Thirdly, we deal with relationship between lawyers and the citizens through three aspects. The first is on how they evaluate lawyers profession. It is quite clear that there is a big gap between them about stability and prosperity of lawyers profession. The second is on acsess to lawyer. The route of finding lawyer is quite limited, so they can only find out lawyer by the aid of their friends and acqaintances. The final is on the composition of lawyers profession. We find out that most parts of them are concentrated on legal cases.
