Court Structure Act

Japanese: 裁判所構成法 - さいばんしょこうせいほう

Law No. 6 of 1890. The basic law that established the judicial system under the Constitution of the Empire of Japan. With the enactment of this law, Japan's judicial system was unified in a very clear way. It clearly stated that there were four types of courts: district and local courts, the Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court, with a three-tiered court system. It was created based on a draft prepared by O. Rudolf (a German national) who was employed as a foreign employee. It was abolished with the enactment of the Courts Act in 1947.
