Guest Judge:
From April 2024, we welcomed Mr. Kuwahara, an assistant judge, to our law firm based on a program between [the Japanese Supreme Court and the Japan Federation of Bar Association] to place assistant judges and prosecutors in law firms for a fixed period (generally, 2 years) to allow them to gain experience and understand the role and perspective of lawyers. This program was inaugurated in 2005 with the aim of further improving the ability and quality of judges and prosecutors by allowing them to take a leave-of-absence from their position and experience the role and work of attorneys.
During his stay at Kitoh & Takeuchi LPC, Mr. Kuwahara will provide legal advice to our clients under our supervision. More particularly, he will see first-hand the types of cases and how cases are handled by lawyers in regional cities. At the same time, the attorneys at Kitoh & Takeuchi LPC are using every opportunity to make this a mutually beneficial learning experience. They are particularly impressed by the fresh perspectives from young legal professionals as well as the viewpoint that judges bring to disputes and the like.
