| If
You are Arrested |
 |
| |
If you, your family or
friend is arrested, what will you do? People arrested will not
be allowed to contact anyone they know and thus, they may feel
scared. In a case like this, it is important to contact a lawyer
immediately to obtain appropriate legal advice.

| Do
You Know "Duty Attorney System"? |
|
| |
The Japan Federation of
Bar Associations established the Duty Attorney System in collaboration
with local bar associations throughout Japan. Under this system,
you do not need to know any lawyers. If you just say at the police
station, "Please call the duty attorney(toban bengoshi)",
the police or court will make contact with the nearest local bar
association and a lawyer will come to see you very soon. Further,
the first time a duty attorney is called, there is no charge at
all.
A duty attorney interviews you at a police holding cell without
the presence of police officers, explains about your right and
the future procedures and also makes contact with your family.
If you, your family or friend is arrested, please bring the Duty
Attorney System to mind. It will certainly be of assistance to
you. |
