Research Abstract

For three years, beginning from 1999, the project participants were engaged in researching statistics and historical sources of the nineteenth century in such countries as Japan, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
The collected historical statistics is of various kinds. Such information as historical changes of population, colleges and universities, law departments and law schools, law students, lawyers and judges and so forth were includedin the sense that they would provide a rough image of the "infra-structure" of the law and the legal profession during the nineteenth century.
The project confirmed the following two points with the study of historical statistics :
(1) When we talk about "the shaping of the modern legal order," it is necessary to distinguish three dimensions ; the shaping of the modern civil society, the formation of the modern law (codes), modernization of the legal order. The development of these three dimensions was not parallel and often lagged in time. The way of development was not similar in the countries studied. But it is a notable fact that in all countries studied the rapid creation of the "infra-structure" of the modern legal order came almost at the same time, i.e. during the 1870s.
(2) Compared with leading western nation of the nineteenth century, the project showed in statistical terms, Japan had succeeded in introducing a workable system of uniform national laws and the professional bureaucracy in the judicial and the executive branches of the government relatively earlier than these nations and often in a better organized way. The study results will be submitted in a summary form as a Report of the Project. Academic implications of this project will be reported and discussed at a symposium of the Association of Sociology of Law in June 2002. Earlypublication of the full study is also planned.
