By examining the Courts? case-load, it shows that, whilst some complaints that earlier commentators have made about the system?s structure and the Consuls? lack of legal training and poor judgments may have been justified initially, the British authorities responded to them so that, over time, the Courts?and the practitioners within the system?came to reflect an increasing professionalism and sophistication. Using both a quantitative and a qualitative analysis of the reported cases, the author concludes that accusations of an anti-Japanese, pro-British bias on the part of the Courts are overstated. 606 $aConsular jurisdiction 606 $aCourts$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aExterritoriality 606 $aJurisdiction$zGreat Britain$xHistory 607 $aGreat Britain$xCommerce$zJapan$xHistory 607 $aGreat Britain$xForeign relations$zJapan 607 $aJapan$xCommerce$zGreat Britain$xHistory 607 $aJapan$xForeign relations$zGreat Britain 615 0$aConsular jurisdiction. 615 0$aCourts$xHistory. 615 0$aExterritoriality. 615 0$aJurisdiction$xHistory. 676 $a347.41/04 700 $aRoberts$b Christopher$c(Lawyer)$01571910 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790774403321 996 $aThe British courts and extra-territoriality in Japan, 1859-1899$93846473 997 $aUNINA
