Ladies and gentlemen Good afternoon Why do I watch TED Talks Because it makes you attractive. Watching TED talks makes you attractive. Now, you will ask me why? First of all, you need to make a good first impression to be attractive. Chip Kidd is a book designer. His job is to make people think that they want to read the book when they see its cover. In order to do so, he tells you that the first impression is very important. Therefore, if you watch TED, you will make a good first impression. And the good first impression makes you attractive. Secondly, you gotta be stylish to be attractive. This jacket is 500 yen, and this pants is 300 yen. These are all second hand. Jessi Arrington tells you how fun to be obsessed with secondhand outfit life. She never buys new outfits. All she has are secondhand. Secondhand shopping allows you to reduce the impact on your wallet and the environment. And you meet many kinds of clothes and people. Therefore, if you watch TED, you're ganna be stylish. And a stylish person is attractive! Watching TED makes you attractive... I'm sorry! I have to apologize. I'm forty-seven years old and I am single... Moreover, I'm currently out of job... I'm NOT attractive at all. But at least I want you to believe me on this: Something changes if you watch TED. I started watching TED talks in January 2012, and blogging about it. Everyday, I watched TED talks and blogged about it. While doing so, I found TEDxSapporo. In May 2012, I took a train all the way from Asahikawa to attend TEDxSapporoSalon. At the Salon, the organizer Mr. Sunar called for our actions to try something new for 30 days as Matt Cutts did. Try whatever you always wanted to do for 30 days. And I gave it a try. This is my 30-day challenge, doodling Every day, I doodled one by one for 30 days. Then suddenly, something unexpected flashed in my mind. 13 years ago, I lost my little sister. She died of breast cancer at 31. I could see her smile again by simply doodling it. In June, I was given an opportunity to share my doodlings in TEDxSapporoSalon. And today, I am standing in front of you again to talk about my story. Certainly, something has changed for me by watching TED talks. To be precise, something changes if you watch TED talks and “take action”. I recommend you to watch TED talks. And if you feel something in it, I want you to take action. Then something will change for you. And share your experiences with us in TEDxSapporo. You can be a TEDster. You don’t have to be Al Gore or Bill Gates. You don’t have to be a doctor or a professor to make presentations. Anybody has his or her own story And I believe there is a rough diamond in it. Just like anybody sings karaoke, or just like anybody dances Yosakoi-soran dance, I believe that we’ll make a big movement to talk our own stories in front of thousands of people in TEDxSapporo. Thank you for listening.

Japan

In Japan, judicial scriveners (司法書士, shihō shoshi) are authorized to represent their clients in real estate registrations, commercial registrations (e.g. the incorporation of companies), preparation of court documents and filings with legal affairs bureaus. Judicial scriveners may also represent clients in summary courts, arbitration and mediation proceedings, but are not allowed to represent clients in district courts or more advanced stages of litigation. The more familiar term "solicitor" is also sometimes used to refer to them, although the division of responsibilities is not the same as between solicitors and barristers in the English legal system. The term "judicial scrivener", while somewhat archaic in tone, is a fairly accurate literal translation of the Japanese term.

Judicial scriveners must pass an examination administered by the Ministry of Justice. The examination tests knowledge of twelve Japanese statutes, the four principal ones being the Civil Code, Real Estate Registration Act, Commercial Code and Commercial Registration Act. (The Corporations Act was added to the examination in 2006.) The examination consists of two written tests followed by one oral test; the overall pass rate is 2.8%. A person may also become qualified as a judicial scrivener by working for ten years as a court secretary, judicial secretary, or prosecutor's secretary.

Judicial scriveners must maintain a membership in the judicial scrivener association (司法書士会, shihō shoshi kai) for the prefecture in which they work. They can be found in solo practice or attached to law firms as employees of attorneys at law. A small number of judicial scriveners work as in-house counsel for companies, but there are strict conditions for registration of in-house judicial scriveners.^[1]

History

When Japan adopted a Western-style court system in 1872, it established a profession of daishonin (代書人) to represent clients in the preparation of documents, alongside the daigennin (代言人) who represented clients in courtroom arguments (this latter profession became known as Attorneys at law (弁護士, bengoshi) in 1890). A 1919 statute established a separate tier of shihō daishonin (司法代書人) to handle court documents. The modern shihō shoshi title was adopted under a revised statute in 1935, which was superseded by a new law in 1950.^[2] The other half of the daishonin profession was replaced by the administrative scrivener profession.^[3]

South Korea

South Korea has a similar profession known as beommusa (Korean: 법무사; Hanja: 法務士). This is officially translated as "Certified Judicial Scrivener".^[4] It is noteworthy that beommusa cannot represent client in court in any litigation, since South Korea strictly allow only byeonhosa (변호사; 辯護士, Attorney at Law) to undertake litigation, while banning paralegals from undertaking or even participating in litigation.

Taiwan

Taiwan has a similar profession known as a "land scrivener" (土地代書, short for 土地登記專業代理人).^[5]
