律師與權力 (全2冊)

In Japan, the conviction rate for criminal cases is 99.9%, meaning that only 1 out of every 1,000 criminal cases results in an acquittal. The 99.9% that Japanese prosecutors pride themselves on precisely reflects the arrogance of the prosecutorial authorities representing the state's power: they do not prosecute unless they are absolutely certain, and once they prosecute, they will do everything possible to win. Against this backdrop, Junichiro Hironaka successfully defended defendants in several high-profile cases that rocked Japan and are worthy of being recorded in the history of post-war Japanese criminal litigation, earning him the title of "the acquittal lawyer." As one of Japan's top criminal lawyers, his career itself is a microcosm of half a century of the Japanese criminal justice system.
