This research project explored how pro bono activities of lawyers in Japan should be by comparing with the US and the UK lawyers. Through interviews, it became clear that, even today, the traditional model of pro bono-earning fees from the rich and transferring it to the poor-was still the major way of pro bono activities in Japan. On the other hand, it was found that in the US large law firms there was an advocate called pro bono officer and he or she conducts pro bono activities for all constituted lawyers. As a tentative conclusion, Japanese lawyers also intrinsically contain "public interest" similar to lawyers in the US and the UK, and thus pro bono activities are connected to their fundamental part of duties. However, in Japan, the systematic scheme to practice pro bono is not sufficiently prepared for current trend of lawyer practice. We need to develop diversified styles of pro bono activities which are not necessarily based on bar associations but supported by private lawyers and consumers.

这项研究项目通过与美国和英国律师的比较，探索了日本律师的公益活动应该是怎样的。通过采访，可以清楚地看到，即使在今天，传统的公益模式--从富人那里赚取费用，然后转移给穷人--仍然是日本公益活动的主要方式。另一方面，研究发现，在美国大型律师事务所，有一位被称为公益官员的倡导者，他或她为所有组成律师的律师提供公益活动。试探性的结论是，与美国和英国的律师类似，日本律师在本质上也包含“公共利益”，因此公益活动与他们的基本职责有关。然而，在日本，系统的无偿执业计划还不足以适应当前律师执业的趋势。我们需要发展多样化的公益活动，这些活动不一定以律师协会为基础，但得到私人律师和消费者的支持。
