Japanese-speaking lawyers, city by city

Where these came from

These come from 19 different sources, led by the Victorian Legal Services Board + Commissioner (93), the Rechtsanwaltskammer Düsseldorf, the statutory bar of the Düsseldorf district (12) and the Czech Bar Association (6). A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, which is why Japanese turns up in 16 countries rather than only where Japanese is spoken.

Every one of these sits on an official list, published by a body with nothing to sell.

Where we have nothing

We list lawyers in 478 further cities with no Japanese speaker recorded, among them Brno (1035), Vilnius (552), Košice (421) and Budapest (371). That is a gap in what has been published, not proof that nobody there works in Japanese.

Questions

How many Japanese-speaking lawyers does this page list?

141, in 24 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source.

Where are most of them?

Melbourne with 93, Düsseldorf with 12 and Prague with 6. Together that is 79% of the page.

Does a listing mean the lawyer speaks Japanese personally?

Not always. Some sources name a practice whose staff include a Japanese speaker rather than the named person, and each card quotes the wording its source used.
