This article examines Japan's court system, which is one of the oldest in the world and highly respected. It explores evidence of corruption within the system and discusses potential solutions to combat it. Causes of corruption include lack of transparency, inadequate training for judges, lack of oversight by government agencies, lack of public access to information about pending cases, and political interference from outside sources.
