This book focuses on the stratification of the Japanese legal profession and its impact on legal practice, drawing upon findings from two national surveys, one on Japanese lawyers (2018-19) and the other on Japanese people (2021), as well as qualitative data from interviews. Our research data clearly shows the increase of the lawyer population changed their whole world. Pressure from the lawyer population increase has not only made the stratification more visible but also diversified lawyers' career and their strategies of cultivating their legal service market. Legal practice is moving from professionalism to consumerism. Relying on retrospective data of individual lawyers' careers, this research shows how individual lawyers navigated their work and career and what have been major factors that affected their career paths. The research also shows a huge variety of lawyer's office management policies related with their market strategies. It is the first time that a national survey of lawyers was designed to obtain retrospective data of individual lawyers in Japan. This book gives a latest landscape of the Japanese legal profession in flux and the public view of changing legal practice. .

Paola Janßen formuliert richterliche Überzeugungsbildung als subjektives statistisches Entscheidungsproblem und bezieht sich damit auf eine methodische Schnittstelle zwischen Statistik und Jurisprudenz. Die Anwendung der bayesschen Statistik stellt hierbei die logische Konsistenz der Informationsverwertung und der Entscheidungsfindung sicher. Sie erfordert aber die Festlegung von a-priori-Wahrscheinlichkeiten, über die ein intersubjektiver Konsens möglicherweise nicht hergestellt werden kann. Sensitivitätsanalysen können dieses Problem abmildern. Die Autorin illustriert diese Sachverhalte anhand des Strafprozesses gegen den ehemaligen Wettermoderator Jörg Kachelmann, indem sie die Beweislage als bayessches Netz darstellt und auswertet. Der Inhalt Beweiswürdigung und richterliche Überzeugungsbildung Bayessche Netze als probabilistische Expertensysteme Sensitivitätsanalysen Anwendungsbeispiel: Der Fall Kachelmann Die Zielgruppen Dozierende und Studierende der empirischen Sozialwissenschaft und der Rechtswissenschaft, Fachgebiet Rechtsmethodik Juristinnen und Juristen im Strafrecht Die Autorin Paola Janßen ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin an der Professur für empirische Wirtschaftsforschung und angewandte Statistik der Universität Bremen. Derzeit promoviert sie im Bereich Statistik und Rechtsprechung.

This open access book contributes new theoretical and comparative insights on migrant agency, undocumentedness and informality in non-Western, non-democratic migration regimes. The book is conceived as a critical reflection on the contemporary migration regime scholarship, and, more generally, on comparative migration studies, which primarily focus on migrants’ experiences and immigration policies in the context of liberal democracies in North America and Western Europe. Addressing this gap is particularly important when considering the fact that many new migration hubs are nondemocratic, which in turn requires us to revise or produce new frameworks of analysis beyond existing and dominant Western-centric migration regime typologies. This book takes up the case study of Central Asian migrants in Russia and Turkey—two archetypal non-Western, nondemocratic regimes and key migration hotspots worldwide—and investigates how migration governance outcomes are shaped by the informal power geometries and extralegal processes in physical and digital landscapes in which migrant workers, employers, middlemen, landlords, street world actors and street-level bureaucrats negotiate the contemporary migration system. This lively ethnography presents new empirical material, a comparative perspective and methodological tools for studying migrants’ experiences and migration governance processes in non-Western migration regimes.

Making human rights a reality requires that various types of domestic actors take measures, which is often demanding, all the more so in federal systems. This open access book, Engaging with Human Rights: How Subnational Actors use Human Rights Treaties in Policy Processes, shows that an important part is played at the subnational level, with repeated back-and-forth between and within levels of governance rather than a ‘top-down’ trajectory. The dynamics of implementation at national and sub-national level is an emerging area of study. This book explores how actors use human rights treaties in the policy process, sometimes leading to an engagement that increases human rights implementation, and at other times not. Treaties provide both opportunities and constraints. Switzerland, as a highly decentralized federal state, offers a perfect setting to study the processes at work. Using legal, political, and sociological analyses, the authors draw on over 65 semi-structured interviews and focusses on two topical case studies: violence against women, including domestic violence, and the rights of persons with disabilities. This book provides a blueprint for other researchers and practitioners who wish to study the concrete implementation and impacts of human rights obligations.
