Cyberspace Revisited: Japanese Business Law Online Today

Abstract

The very first issue of this journal, published nearly 15 years ago, carried an article titled ‘Japanese Business Law in Cyberspace: Preliminary Usage Patterns for the ‘Japanese Law Links’ Webpage’ (Nottage, 1998). The development of the Internet as a research tool during this time, as well as the steady increase in writing about Japanese law worldwide, has been far more significant. Nearly a decade and a half later, it is now both easier and harder to offer a guide to online resources on Japanese law in Western languages. The aim of this article is therefore to provide an overview of the most useful of these numerous online resources.
