In civil litigation, "Oral arguments must be prepared in writing" (Civil Procedure Law, Article 161). In other words, the documents that the parties to a lawsuit write down in advance the matters they intend to state in the next oral argument, submit to the court, and deliver to the other party are called preparatory documents (Civil Procedure Rules, Article 79). If a party suddenly presents a complex attack and defense on the day of oral argument, the other party may not be able to respond immediately, and the court may have difficulty in determining how to proceed with the lawsuit. If this requires additional dates, the resolution of the lawsuit will be delayed accordingly. Therefore, if the parties write down the attack and defense they intend to present in writing, exchange them with each other, and inform the court, the lawsuit should be conducted efficiently. The documents prepared for this purpose are preparatory documents, and the preparatory documents submitted by the defendant and appellee in particular are called answers (Civil Procedure Rules, Article 80).

Japanese:

民事訴訟においては、「口頭弁論は、書面で準備しなければならない」(民事訴訟法161条)とされている。つまり、訴訟の当事者が次の口頭弁論で陳述しようとする事項を、あらかじめ記載して裁判所へ提出し、また相手方に送達しておく書面を準備書面という(民事訴訟規則79条)。当事者が口頭弁論の日に突然新しい内容の複雑な攻撃防御方法を提出すると、相手方がこれに対して即応できない場合があるし、裁判所もどのように訴訟を進行すべきか判断しがたい場合がある。そのために、さらに期日を重ねる必要が出てくると、それだけ訴訟の解決が遅れることになる。そこで、当事者がこれから提出しようとする攻撃防御方法を書面に記載して、お互いに交換し、また裁判所にも知らせておけば、訴訟は能率よく行われるはずである。そのために作成される書面が準備書面であり、とくに被告・被上訴人が提出する準備書面を答弁書(同規則80条)という。
