ABSTRACT

A lawyer regulatory system will usually include a mechanism to discipline lawyers who have committed misconduct. Such mechanism may have different objective(s) and function(s), which may vary from jurisdictions to jurisdictions. The Japanese system seemingly has, inter alia, deterrent and educational purposes: discouraging further misconduct and/or educating lawyers to reduce recurrence of similar misconduct. This paper focuses on the deterrent function on Japanese lawyers who have been disciplined. Through an empirical analysis of the cases of lawyers who have been disciplined more than once, this paper evaluates the effectiveness of the lawyer disciplinary system in Japan in discouraging the disciplined lawyers from committing misconduct again. It also hypothesises on some of the possible contributory factor(s) for the multiple violations.

评估日本律师纪律制度的有效性:关于“重复者”的研究

摘要

律师监管制度通常包括对犯有不当行为的律师进行纪律处分的机制。该机制可能有不同的目标和功能,可能因司法管辖区而异。日本的制度似乎具有威慑和教育目的:阻止进一步的不当行为和/或教育律师以减少类似不当行为的再次发生。本文重点讨论对受过纪律处分的日本律师的威慑作用。通过对多次受到纪律处分的律师案例的实证分析,本文评估了日本律师纪律处分制度在阻止被纪律处分的律师再次犯错方面的有效性。它还假设了一些可能导致多次违规的因素。
