ABSTRACT

This paper considers opposition between lawyers to defend human rights which the Pacific Constitution of Japan guarantees and the public power represented by the prosecution’s judicial power centered on sentencing in the ‘Chatterley Trial’ that was a Japanese representative literary trial which occurred after World War II. The lawyers’ assertion is against the public power which reminds us of the Press Act before the war defeat. Although censorship is banned in the constitution, and it can be said that it is not a dimension just to protest the check of custom but the struggle not to reenact the past Japan.
