  • Myanmar has witnessed rapid economic growth in the 21st century. The cultural heritage of Myanmar (Burma) inherited from ancestors is law literature such as Dhammathat and Rajathat. Burma is a unique country in Southeast Asia in a sense that it already had a modern law system. For example, there has been a legal profession even in 12th century AD. According to Rajathat, lawyers were required to wear a uniform in court. Furthermore, lawyers and Judges participated in legal proceedings from the 15th century. As to the role of Dhammathat, there are conflicting views in the academic community. According to Professor Andrew Huxley, the profound literatures of Dhammathat had played an important role as a source of law in Burmese court in ancient times. Dhammathats have flourished in the struggle among the King, lawyers, and monks in old Burmese society. This customary law combined with Rajathat provided a guidance of legal proceedings in Burmese court, as well as village settlement. This traditional dispute resolution system reaches modern times in the form of Buddhist family law in Myanmar. Nowadays, the law system of Myanmar looks like a legal pluralism since the customary laws of Burma, as well as Shan and Arakan, are effective and co-exist with common law adopted at the colonial period. In recent times, Myanmar has enacted new arbitration laws (2016) in order to attract foreign direct investment.

  • In the area of legal studies, negotiation can be taught as a profession skill in legal matters such as making negotiating a contract or resolving disputes including alternative dispute resolution. Given recent changes in the legal services market such as the opening of the market, expected higher competition in the legal profession and a high expectation for lawyers' role in society, negotiation skills are an important element of legal expertise that should be developed in law schools. The main purpose of negotiation training should be to make law school students aware of their role as lawyers to help their clients resolve their problems using their legal expertise and negotiation skills in an appropriate and effective way.

  • In order to implement an artificial intelligence lawyer, this study looked at how to structure legal principles, and then gave specific examples of how structured legal principles can be expressed in predicate logic. While previous studies suggested a method of introducing predicate logic for the reasoning engine of artificial intelligence lawyers, this study focused on the method of expressing legal principles with predicate logic based on the structural appearance of legal principles. Jurisprudence was limited to the content of articles and precedents, and the vertical hierarchy leading to 'law facts - legal requirements - legal effect' and the horizontal hierarchy leading to 'legal effect - defense - defense' were examined. In addition, legal facts were classified and explained that most of the legal facts can be usually expressed in unary or binary predicates. In future research, we plan to program the legal principle expressed in predicate logic and realize an inference engine for artificial intelligence lawyers.

  • This paper considers opposition between lawyers to defend human rights which the Pacific Constitution of Japan guarantees and the public power represented by the prosecution's judicial power centered on sentencing in the 'Chatterley Trial' that was a Japanese representative literary trial which occurred after World War II. The lawyers' assertion is against the public power which reminds us of the Press Act before the war defeat. Although censorship is banned in the constitution, and it can be said that it is not a dimension just to protest the check of custom but the struggle not to reenact the past Japan.
