Description: Japanese national universities are currently globalizing and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) began to certify several national universities as “Sūpā gurōbaru daigaku (Super global universities).” Since that turned out to be a strange expression, MEXT later changed it to “Global 30 programs.” Even though the Japanese Supreme Court followed the US legal system after World War II, the number of decisions made in Japan regarding unconstitutionality is much smaller than in the US. The analysis is connected to former Supreme Court Judge and the University of Tokyo law professor Masami Ito’s book, Between Judge and Scholar,1 and Professor Ito would agree with Jones’s perspective that Japanese Supreme Court judges “spent the greater part of their lives as anonymous bureaucrats.”
