| Research Abstract |
This research focuses on Judge Advocate (Homukan) in Prewar Japan. The court-martial consisted of five judges in Prewar Japan. Four of them were officers and one was a civilian called Judge Advocate (Homukan). Judge Advocate was therefore the only attorney on the court-martial. This research was an empirical study of Judge Advocate. We investigated their name, their working conditions, their role on the court-martial, and so on.
Judge Advocate had been tenured since 1922. This meant that Judge Advocate could exercise independent powers on the court-martial. But this privilege was abolished after the outbreak of the Pacific War. Judge Advocate had no choice but to abide by the request of Supreme Command (Tosuiken). In addition, Judge Advocate was to rank as an officer. This research also approached the details.
