- Das Ziel des Beitrages ist es, einen Überblick über den Stand der Studien zum japanischen Recht in Europa (im weiteren Sinn) zu geben. Der Artikel ist in acht Länderberichte aufgeteilt, die jeweils von einem Experten des japanischen Rechts aus dem betreffenden Land verfasst wurden. Analysiert wird die aktuelle Situation in Italien, Frankreich, Israel, Skandinavien, Spanien, den Niederlanden, Belgien,dem Vereinigtem Königreich und in Deutschland. Es zeigt sich ein recht unterschiedliches Bild bezüglich des Interesses und Engagements in Lehre, Forschung und Praxis des japanischen Rechts. In einigen Ländern ist das Studium des Rechts Japans in die Japanologie integriert, in anderen ist es in der allgemeinen Rechtsvergleichung verankert oder auch, etwas spezifischer, Teil der Studien zum ostasiatischen Recht.

- We examine the spread of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms to Japanese legal education. We collected course syllabi from all newly established law schools in Japan. By examining the teaching ADR before and after the introduction of law schools in 2004, we test our prediction of massive isomorphism. We found that many of these law schools immediately responded to ambiguous recommendations on teaching ADR. Such isomorphism may not be an unexpected outcome in a state-initiated institutional change, but the remarkable scope and speed of ADR adoption into curriculum of Japanese law schools is unexpected. We thus conclude that an institutional shock initiated by a state gives organizations an impetus for the immediate adoption. This is even so in organizational fields like education where status is a major component of institutional isomorphism. In our analyses, status emerges as a key variable to show the variation of organizational responses to institutional pressure toward conformity. Our study shows that the relationship between status and conformity is a linear one. Higher status organizations are more likely to adopt new institutional components. The clear link we have found between ADR-courses and the high proportion of academics offering such courses, holds out the potential of more diffusion of ADR in the Japanese legal education. If quality in legal education will come to be associated with the well-established law schools where teaching of ADR is more common, the practice of ADR may diffuse through the graduates of such highly prestigious schools as well as through the imitation of the curricula of these schools by others.
