Litigation law - Soshoho

Japanese: 訴訟法 - そしょうほう

A general term for laws that regulate litigation. Depending on the type of litigation, there are distinctions such as the Civil Procedure Code, the Criminal Procedure Code, and the Administrative Litigation Code. Because it specifies how trials are conducted, it is also called procedural law, and together with substantive law, which determines the standards for judgment in trials, it serves to resolve disputes (civil litigation and administrative litigation) or to realize criminal rights (criminal litigation).
