This "unusual" system of the people approving the Supreme Court judges is the "Missouri Plan" see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missouri_plan It seems it was introduced in Japan after WW2. - Pepper 150.203.2.85 00:57, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
This article needs to be reworked to reflect the reality of the incredibly high conviction rate in Japan, which is widely cited as in the 99.30% to 99.97%. Omission does not benefit readers. In fact, the Japanese courts are merely symbolic, police and prosecutors determine guilt or innocence long before a judge ever sees a case.
- One cannot write encycropedia article with one's personal prejudice. 99% conviction rate may reflect either rigged nature of court proceeding (a view which you appear to support), or simply that the prosecutor will not try a case unless s/he is 99% sure of conviction. Whichever the case, please add content only from verified source. Moreover, this article is riddled with Occidental prejudiece about Oriental culture being feudalistic, backward and inferior. Criticism should focus on the system, legal, political and economic, not your personal notion of Japanese being inferior race. Vapour
The citation you requested has been added, the information about conviction rates is relevant to an article about courts, and does not reflect any "personal notion of Japanese being inferior race," kindly refrain from such accusations.203.216.97.70 13:54, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
