Research Abstract |
Judicial reform has been promoted after the 1990s. Expansion of the legal population and measures for dealing with the shortage of legal services / attorneys have had some effects on Northern Japan, however, there are still large legal needs after the East Japan Great Earthquake and Tsunami. It is becoming easier for the public to use legal service, while the quantity of legal service is restricted mainly due to the shortage of attorneys in the region, limited budget for legal aid and inactive engagement of judicial scriveners in the court-related works. At present, legal service in Northern Japan is developing in its quantity as well as quality, so it is not yet to inquire into the state of “legalization”.
