Japanese: Oberlandesgericht
Upper Landesgericht


[In Europe and the US]

In the federal court system of the United States, the United States Court of Appeals for the circuit, in the Federal Republic of Germany the Oberlandesgericht, in France the Cour d'appel, and in the United Kingdom the Court of Appeal, are equivalent to the High Court of Japan. However, the court system reflects the unique circumstances of each country, and there are some aspects that cannot be viewed as uniformly similar to those in Japan, such as the fact that the Court of Appeal in the United Kingdom is one throughout the country, and that the Oberlandesgericht in Germany is a federal institution, while the Landgericht of first instance is an institution for each state.
