Litigation in Japan
Q4: Are lawyers required to commence civil litigations?

No. It is not required, however, it is extremely hard or maybe impossible to handle the civil litigation cases with certain complexity without lawyers acting on behalf of parties. The civil litigation is regulated by the Civil Procedure Code of Japan which lay people would not understand correctly without special education.
