The Journal of Japanese Law, founded in 1996 by Harald Baum, is published by the Institute in cooperation with the German-Japanese Association of Jurists (DJJV). The periodical is an international journal serving the needs of lawyers and scholars interested in Japanese law; its goal is to make all areas of the Japanese legal system accessible in a comprehensive and methodologically structured manner. The texts are, in roughly equal proportions, authored in German and English; articles are also occasionally published in French. At present the Journal is the world’s only western-language publication offering a regular and timely documentation and analysis of the myriad lines of development in Japanese law. Authors include not only renowned scholars from in- and outside Japan and Germany, but also practitioners having experience in Japan, thus enabling a particularly wide spectrum of analysis.

The editorial committee is comprised of Prof. Dr. Moritz Bälz, Prof. Dr. Harald Baum, Prof. Dr. Marc Dernauer, Ruth Effinowicz and Prof. Dr. Gabriele Koziol.
