Not until 1964 did the number of bar passers first exceed 500—fewer than Harvard Law School’s graduating class each year—in a population 40 percent the size of that of the United States. (Over the next four decades, the number rose gradually, but of this year’s 45,000 candidates, only 1,200 will be successful.

Having only 20,000 lawyers meant whole swaths of the country had few if any of them. Ninety percent of Japan’s registered cities and towns in 1990 still had only one lawyer or none at all. Most were solo practitioners. Even Japan’s largest law firms rarely had more than a couple dozen attorneys who maintained relatively autonomous individual practices and merely shared office space and administration, says Steed.
