"Homu" is coming Home.

"Homu" is pronounce in Japanese, which means "Legal matter". Legal matter come to home soon. Yes, it's the Citizen Judge system.

While I was enjoying a dinner at home in summer short vacation, Mother, who said She never relate to any legal matter because it's difficult, murmured suddenly "I don't want to be a citizen judge, since I might be blamed by judging someone in a court", Father and I looked at each other by surprise.

------------------------------------------------------
Citizen Judge system will commence soon.
Listing candidates are already started.
------------------------------------------------------

Monday morning, A Guy, living next door, talked to me suddenly with his first voice for me, "I heard that listing up are started", although he just nodded and smiled for my greeting sometimes in another morning.

------------------------------------------------------
It will be enforced at 21th/May/2009, A trial with citizen judge
will commence from the end of July 2009.
------------------------------------------------------

My friend, who is the most far from legal matter, called on me "How I should do, if I was chosen as Citizen Judge?"

------------------------------------------------------
28,000 people will be on the list and one of 310 people will be
chosen as Citizen Judge in Tokyo, 1840 will be on the list and
one of 362 will be chosen in Fukushima.
------------------------------------------------------

It's very natural My friend, Mother and guy next door, sales lady in a shop, my colleague and partner company, can't help imaging possibility to be chosen.


Government said Citizen judge system is aimed to increase understanding for legal affairs by attending judge system.

Indeed, it is really succeeded those people such as mother and friends had payed attention for legal matters, however, I think we should consider why their concerning are "it makes me bother" or "do not want to attend"?
