Democratization, 1919, and Lawyer Advocacy for a Japanese Jury
View through CrossRef
In 1919 the Japan Lawyers' Association condemned public procurators as "officials run amok" in a widely circulated public report. A corruption investigation known to history as the Pig Box Incident brought "devil procurators" to the fore and stirred the voluntary association to action in the cause of establishing a jury system. In its campaign, the association's leadership held out two hopes: juries would check the procurator's power and connect the public with the courts. Observers hoped that juries would democratize Japan. In the events after 1919, none of these dreams was realized.
