Publisher Description
The exchange takes place in a Moroccan care in the year John O. Haley was born, 1942. A Bulgarian bride asks the American saloon-keeper: "Monsieur Rick, what kind of man is Captain Renault?" He replies: "Oh, he's just like any other man, only more so." (1) So too Japanese law, in a way. When Haley entered the field in the mid-1970s, scholars asked, "What kind of legal system is the Japanese legal system?" "Unlike any legal system anywhere in the world," most replied. Not Haley. "Just like any other legal system," he insisted. "Maybe even more so."
