Abstract

Scholars in the U.S. have shown relatively little interest in the management of legal conflict over health care in other nations. This article examines the Japanese health care system, particularly litigation over medical malpractice, and asks what (if anything) American scholars and policy makers can learn from the Japanese experience.
