##The jury system

In Japan, national judicial participation is wrestled with as well as the unification of the lawyer.
The part includes " the trial member system " but to start by this system, May, 2009 is decided.
It is possible to say a kind of the jury system of this trial member system.
Actually, to call a jury system existed in the past Japan, too.
In the criminal trial, it introduced a jury system to 1943 from 1928 and it was actually implemented but it becomes because of the confusion by the war as stopped.
It is the " Hara Takashi " Don't-Know one that made efforts toward the introduction of the jury system.
He is the person who spent a political life on this jury system.
There former state of things still is a judiciary in the present Japan.
There is a good surface, too, but the senselessness of the judge becomes a problem on the one hand.
It should be possible to call that the movement to say to let's reconsider a judicial participation system here in を appeared a request in the times.
It is with OBJ DO and worldwide seeing uncommon what that it says that it makes a layman participate in the judiciary including the jury system and it is Class which gets a citizenship already in America, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Mexico, France and so on.
The jury system in Japan is pros and cons.
Originally, because it is the Japanese the principle of whom is to be judged in " on the justice " to the style which is attended by the Samurai movie, it may be the race which the fact to be judged by the layman has resistance.
Also, " the jury system " is Class which decides the guilt of the defendant and guiltlessness by the verdict of the juror.
That is, it is a majority vote.
How will it say that it decides the lifetime of the person by the majority vote?
It is a floret without that it is possible to crawl when the posture to investigate the truth as expected is necessary.
Also, it says that there is an effect to prevent from a false charge ( the innocent sin ) by but it isn't possible to crawl in case of not being when there is danger that the feelings increase a false charge, twining oppositely, too.
It is that the act to buy, too, is thought of.
In any case, it thinks that to say that the people participate in the judiciary is a good thing.
To participate in how form will be the problem in the future which it should think of by the entire people.
