| Research Abstract |
I have researched on the legal remedy systems for personal injuries and environmental damages caused by toxic exposure in Japan, the United States, and other jurisdictions. Then I studied on how to improve such legal remedy system, which includes how the relationship between each administrative compensation/remedy system and litigations should be, as well as on the suitable forms of collective litigation for mass torts, such as class action and group litigation.
