In Japan that has the smaller population of the legal profession and its poor specialization, the presence of specialized criminal lawyers has been overlooked. For they are mostly ex-prosecutors and seen as the second rate lawyers in the private practice.<br>But recently a few radical lawyers also take part in the field of the criminal defense of yakuza and illicit drug traffickers. They, new comers, hold the more adversarial style that has sprung from the techniques for the defense of labor union or radical activists.<br>So now there is the division of labor in the territory of the specialized criminal defense. Depending mainly on their carreer and their clients' budgets, each specialist holds his own practical style.<br>This specialization promotes the development of the expertise at the upper level. At the lower level, specialists who deal with a lot of dirty work which general practioners gave up, contributes to the prestige of the legal profession as a whole and the administration of criminal justice.
