An attitude Survey on civil litigation system(2nd)

本研究的目的是对日本的民事诉讼制度进行态度调查，并将其结果与2000年、2003年和2006年对日本民事诉讼制度的类似研究结果进行比较。通过比较，为今后的司法改革提供基础资料。本次调查共在20个城市进行，每个城市200人，共4000人。回复率超过40%，这是一个相当高的比例作为一个邮件调查。通过将这些数据与2000年和2006年的调查数据进行比较，我们发现了一些有趣的发现。例如，在普通公民对法官和程序的评价上，无论是否定的还是肯定的，激进评价的数量都在增加，而且他们的评价看起来也越来越模糊。与有诉讼经历的人相比，对律师的评价低于普通公民。另一方面，在法官和程序方面，普通公民的评价平均高于有诉讼经历的人。这一发现与前人的研究结果一致。

The purpose of this study is to make an attitude survey on Japanese civil litigation system in order to compare its result with results of former similar studies on Japanese civil litigation system in 2000, 2003 and 2006. By doing such comparison, this study will provide basic information for a future judicial reform. The survey has conducted in 20 cities, to 200 people in each city, totally 4000 people. The response rare was over 40% which is rather high rate as a mail survey. By comparing this data with the data of former surveys in 2000 and 2006, we find several interesting findings. For example, as for evaluation of ordinary citizen on a judge and procedure the number of radical evaluation both in negative and affirmative responses and their evaluations look become more sophisticate. Comparing with evaluation of people who had experience of litigation, evaluation on lawyers are lower than that of ordinary citizen. On th other hands, in case of judge and procedure, evaluation of ordinary citizen were averagely higher than that of persons who had an experience of litigation. These finding is consistent with the results of former studies.
