In Japan, certified social workers are obliged to keep their clients' confidentiality under provisions of the Certified Social Workers and Certified Care Workers Act. Social worker-client privilege is not, however, stipulated in any statute laws or case laws. In this first part of the study, the authors give an overview of Japanese laws regarding confidentiality and introduce some discussions concerning social worker-client privilege, pointing out issues from both social welfare and juristic standpoints. The authors suggest that in Japan social worker-client privilege will possibly be more acknowledged in civil trials than in criminal trials. USA is far more experienced and rich in judicial precedents in this field. For instance, the US Supreme Court has ruled that clinical social workers have the right to privileged communication in federal courts. Part(2)will further examine these American case laws concerning social welfare and examine the differences from Japan, which will lead to the final part(3)in which the authors will clarify in which case the social-worker-client privilege should be respected in Japan and in which case it should not.

Development in sheet steels has progressed in strong relation with automotive industry in Japan. To meet the requirements from automotive industry, various types of sheet steels including high and ultra high strength steel sheets have been developed. Progresses in three types of steel series will be discussed by checking the historical facts and technologies and their contributions. Introductions of interstitial free (IF) steel and continuous annealing system are the important events in mild steel developments for panels. Extensive work on finding the optimum mixtures of hard and soft phases to improve elongation of steels contributed to improve the crashworthiness of autobodies. Continuous annealing system also played an important role in producing these advanced high strength steels. Precipitation is used in a particular way which is to scavenge solute carbon and nitrogen and to prevent coarse cementite particle precipitation. It is also worth to point out that the collaborative activities particularly strong in Japan between steel manufacturers and auto companies have affected the progress in advanced sheet steels.
