Office for Promotion of Justice System Reform

The reform of the justice system is of vital importance and urgency in converting to a post facto check and relief society with clearly established rules and principles of self-responsibility. From the perspective of those who use the system, namely the people of Japan, this is a large reform that will drastically revise the basic justice system.

In order to allow the entire Government to work enthusiastically on achieving this reform, the Office for Promotion of Justice System Reform was established within the Cabinet in December 2001, with the Prime Minister as chief and including all Cabinet members, endeavoring to build a justice system that fits the needs of a new age, close to and trusted by the people.
