| Research Abstract |
We made a research on the international family law matters dealt with in the Family Registration System in Japan from the viewpoint of private international law theory. Our main objective has been to present a total view of the international family law matters through in-depth analysis of practices of the Family Registration Office. Our on-going research process has been published on the website (http://www.j.u-tokyo.ac.jp/dogauchi/shougaikoseki/) in order to make it possible for the outside researchers to criticize our draft papers.
The final product of our research is the Restatement of the International Family Registration Law. This consists of three parts : Present Practice Proposed Rule, in necessary; and Explanation. This method has been adopted by the American Law Institute in analyzing the practice and proposing new directions.
This method makes it possible to send our analysis and conclusions clearly to the relevant governmental agencies and academic societies. The Restatement consists of ten chapters: (1) General Rules; (2) Birth; (3) Adaptation; (4) Adoption; (5) Marriage; (6) Divorce; (7) Parental Authority; (8) Death; (9) Surname; (10) Natinality.
