Search Engines
Using Google and  other web search engines can be very useful for tracking down information bout Japanese law, in English or in Japanese.  When using Japanese text terms in your search, it's a good idea to specify that you're looking for Japanese language materials.  Otherwise, your results may include many unrelated materials form other East Asian languages.

For Japanese language searching, try for example: the "Goo" search engine at: http://www.goo.ne.jp/.  Google also works for Japanese searches when configured properly (see the Google Preferences page at: http://www.google.com/preferences) .
