Re: Japan, there is an old comment to a New York Times article that describes how that statistic is misleading: http://www.nytimes.com/1991/08/23/opinion/l-what-statistics-....

I think we just disagree on the meaning of "cultural" here. I consider the fact of whether you bring a dispute over an employment issue to a civil service agency versus a court to be a matter of structure, you consider it to be a matter of culture. My point is simply to point out that to a certain extent you're pushing on a balloon. Yes, we could restructure things to require less lawyers, but we'd likely require more civil servants instead.
