Licensing Difficulty and Attorney Quality in Japan
Lowering the Bar to Raise the Bar: Licensing Difficulty and Attorney Quality in Japan July 10, 2013 J. Mark Ramseyer and Eric B. Rasmusen Abstract Under certain circumstance, a relaxation in occupational licensing standards can increase the quality of those who enter the industry. The effect turns on the opportunity costs of preparing for the licensing examination: making the test easier can increase the quality of those passing if it lowers the opportunity costs enough to increase the number of those willing to go to the trouble of taking the test. We explore the theoretical circumstances under which this can occur and the actual effect of the relaxation of the difficulty of the bar exam in Japan from 1992 to 2011. J.

NARRATING HISTORY IN THE MANGA ‘JUDO NO REKISHI-KANO JIGORO NO SHOGAI’ (1987) ANDREAS NIEHAUS DOI ABSTRACT 10.18573/mas.58 Kano Jigoro (1860-1938), the founder of Kodokan Judo, is one of the most prominent representatives of modern Japanese martial arts. In this article, I will focus on the biographical manga ‘Judo no rekishi – Kano Jigoro no shogai’ (‘The History of Judo – The Life of Kano Jigoro’) (1987). By analysing the techniques that are KEYWORDs applied on the textual as well as pictorial level to create authenticity and historical facticity, we will get a better understanding of the Kano Jigoro, Kodokan, judo, manga, strategies by which collective ideas and norms within a specific biography, historiography, identities historical and cultural context are created in judo.
