This paper presents an analysis on the professional work and consciousness of the Japanese women lawyers who practice law in the metropolitan area of Tokyo. It is based on the research of women lawyers conducted in 1998 supported by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.<br>The frame of the research is to see if the international trend of the female bar to commit to the women's cause, especially "Women's Rights, " or feminist perspectives has any effect on Japanese legal practice by women lawyers. My former research of 1991 (cf. Kaminaga & Westhoff, "Women Lawyers in Japan: Contradictory Factors in Status, " in Shultz & Shaw eds. Women in The World's Legal Profession, 2003) suggested that women lawyers held a very special position in Japanese society-a kind of limbo between the general low social status of Japanese women and the very elevated status of the elite profession of law. Following up this result in a larger scale with more sophisticated design, I conclude that the same picture still applied to Japanese women lawyers at the turn of the century. The status factors reflected in their everyday practice and their attitude toward the representation of women clients and the "Women's Rights" cause.

In sum, the author of this paper wants to assert that the notion of gender that commonly works as a denominator to sever constructed character of sex and sexuality out of biological sex and sexuality might cease to function due to diversified interests of feminism activists. The paper examined briefly a history of feminism in Japan as compared with that in the United States for the last three decades. It came out with the observation that mighty emergence of minorities' voices other than essentialists' might bring out a breakdown of concept of gender as an adhesive of various interests. In conclusion, the author of this paper asserts the notion of gender should be more itemized and individualized to reflect the real world through its reconstruction.

In 1940, Japan revised the Korean Civil Act, and mandatorily added "Japanese-style" surnames to all Koreans (so called "Renaming Policy in Korea"). At the same time, this Act allowed all Koreans to adopt a child who is not the member of the adoptive father's patrilineal clan. After liberation, all of such "non-customary" adoptions were invalidated retrospectively, and South Korean courts held this decision for more than 40 years. Nevertheless, in 1994, the Supreme Court of South Korea, overruling the precedents, declared that the "non-customary" adoptions done on the basis of 1939 Act were/are valid.<br>This paper reviews the appropriateness of this 1994 Supreme Court decision. To undertake this analysis, the logical relation between the "Japanese-style" surnames and the "non-customary" adoptions is mainly discussed. The first Korean Civil Code of 1960 allowed the "non-customary" adoption without forcing any "Japanese-style" surnames. This fact clearly proves that the "Japanese-style" surname is one thing: the "non-customary" adoption is another. Hence, even the former was declared "null and void <i>ab initio</i>" by the ordinance "Restoration of Korean Names" of 1946, the latter cannot be automatically invalidated. The "non-customary" adoptee based on the Act of 1939, however, had a right to succeed the adoptive father's "House", which was prohibited by the Korean Civil Code of 1960. The succession of the "House" by the adoptee of deferent patrilineal clan caused a serious "Japanization" to the legal identity of Korean customary "House".<br>In conclusion, the 1994 Supreme Court decision is proper, as far as the validity of the "non-customary" adoption on the base of the 1939 Revised Act. However, the right of the "non-customary" adoptee to succeed the adoptive father's "House" should be invalidated retrospectively, in the light of making a distinction between "modernization" and "Japanization" in the history of Korean Law and Society.

Human entities are of a psychic existence. They are of a pathos-like, passive existence and as such, need to act towards the outside world. The autonomous existence of an entity emerges when it actively engages the world, and through a common actual engagement with the world emerges the autonomy of an organisational entity. However, as a mechanistic way of thinking develops, the actual psychic existence of the entities comes to be replaced by a physical psychic existence. In such circumstances, although entities are still autonomous and make decisions on their own, they are unable actively to engage with the outside world. They are merely elements in an operational sequence, and the autonomous existence of not only the individual entities, but also of organisational entities is denied in such a situation. In recent years, with the growing influence of spiritualism, people increasingly become a virtual psychic existence. Here, the distinction between reality and the virtual world becomes blurred, and occasionally, a forceful, possibly even violent, realisation of the virtual world is attempted, although this does not mean that there is any actual commitment to the world.<br>Law cannot be immune from such transformation of entities, but the legal system has, however, so far been unable to cope with such entities in transformation. Problems such as the appropriateness of using brain-death as a criterion for medical death, refusal of blood transfusions by Jehovah's witnesses, and the control imposed on Aum-Shinrikyo as an organisation should be understood in this context.

In Japan, the frequent use of word "Sei-i" is observed in the process of negotiations and dispute resolutions. The essential core of "Sei-i" originated in the Japanese confucianism of the Tokugawa period. Since then, it has been gradually transformed into a complex of traditional, modern and contemporary types of "Sei-i". Therefore, Japanese "Sei-i" has various meanings today.Careful observation indicates that sometimes a sence of "Sei-i" gives normative influence on human relations, though it often plays only an emotional role. In that case, the word "Sei-i" is used to express a normative sense which people have in mind, especially when the injured party negotiates with the injurer for apology and compensation. And it is worth notice that both persons think highly of "Sei-i", but they often understand the same contents of it quite differently.A few scholars have already studied some aspects of "Sei-i", but they don't focus their concerns upon its normative sense. This paper deals with its normative sense in the process of negotiations and disputes between the injured party and the injurer.The main purpose of this paper is to construct theoretical model of normative contents and social functions of "Sei-i". Normative contents of "Sei-i" are classified into procedural contents and substantive ones, and both contents are constructed as a set of normative rules.This paper is the first step to the heuristic study of "Sei-i" as a sense of social norm.
