项目摘要

We found that Judicial Statistics played an important role in lawmaking and Judicial Reform. For instance, German civil procedure revision in 2001/2002, Civil Appeal revision particularly, was premised on Judicial Statistics of Civil appeals, namely, Filings and Dispositions of Civil Appeals, Processing Time, etc.On the other hand, we also found that International Comparison for Judicial Statistics was very difficult, because each Judicial Statistics of Civil Suit was the outcome of using their own separate methods, and we must compare Japanese judicial statistics with other country's statistics under various standards. We must be considered various factors too. For example, the Filing of a complex case may result in numerous court appearances and actions, while a simple case may be resolved in a single appearance of a few minutes. Yet both types of cases are counted as filings and appear equal statistically in terms of their impacts on the court. Under this premise, we tried to make a comparison between judicial statistics of Germany, France, and USA. England, Canada and Japan.Based on the analysis of a comparison between judicial statistics of Germany, France, USA, England, Canada and Japan, we found that the number of court filings in Japan was remarkably low. But we can not investigate into the cause of such a low number of court filings. That is our future challenge. In this context, it is necessary for International Comparison for Judicial Statistics to investigate into the difference not only between each Judicial Statistics, but also between each judicial systems, for example judge system, bar system, etc. And moreover it is necessary to investigate into the difference between each cultural climate, economy, politic etc...

我们发现司法统计在立法和司法改革中发挥着重要作用。例如，2001/2002年德国民事诉讼程序修订，特别是民事上诉修订，是以民事上诉司法统计为前提的，即民事上诉的提起和处理、处理时间等。司法统计的比较是非常困难的，因为每一份民事诉讼的司法统计都是采用各自不同的方法得出的结果，而且我们必须将日本的司法统计与其他国家在不同标准下的统计进行比较。我们也必须考虑各种因素。例如，复杂案件的立案可能会导致多次出庭和诉讼，而简单案件可能在一次出庭几分钟内得到解决。然而，这两种类型的案件都被视为立案，并且就其对法院的影响而言，在统计上似乎是相同的。在此前提下，我们尝试对德国、法国、美国的司法统计进行比较。英国、加拿大和日本。通过对德国、法国、美国、英国、加拿大和日本司法统计数据的比较分析，我们发现日本的法院立案数量明显偏低。但我们无法调查法院备案数量如此之少的原因。这是我们未来的挑战。在此背景下，司法统计国际比较不仅有必要考察各个司法统计之间的差异，而且有必要考察各个司法制度之间的差异，例如法官制度、律师制度等。各个文化气候、经济、政治等之间的差异...
