Footnotes

I would like to thank Professor Takashi Maruta of Konan University and Professor Setsuo Miyazawa of Kobe University for their generous and indispensable guidance in approaching this review. They, however, bear none of the blame for errors in interpretation or translation or for my choice of emphasis in discussion and criticism. Throughout this review I have adopted, where available, the English translations used in the Sociology of Law unless I found those translations extremely awkward or misleading. I have also used the English order for Japanese names. For those interested, the Japanese title of the Sociology of Law and for the Japanese Association of Sociology of Law are Hōshakaigaku and Nihon Hōshakaigakkai, respectively.
