Abstract

The foreign lawyer in Japan has enjoyed periods of relative freedom to practice law as well as being subject to rigid restrictions limiting the accessibility of the legal market. The focus of this paper will be the significant events in the history of the foreign lawyer in Japan from the first influences of Western law in the late 1800's to the 1986 Special Measures Law Concerning the Handling of Legal Business by Foreign Lawyers.
