Abstract
This Comment begins with a summary of the development of the Japanese legal system and the effects of Japanese culture on its development in order that the reader may better understand the Special Measures Law and its implications. The second section focuses on the foreign lawyer situation and its background, problems that remain under the Special Measures Law, and the potential benefits of the law. The third section discusses the effect of the Special Measures Law to date, and formulates a hypothesis regarding reasonable expectations about future regulation.
