1 In August 1955 the Japanese changed the rules governing admission of aliens to practice law in Japan so that only aliens whose own country will admit Japanese to practice law may be admitted in Japan. Although the new rule is not retroactive, it means that after August 1955 Americans are no longer eligible for admission to practice. Previously when such reciprocity was not required, the Japanese admitted aliens in two categories:

(1) Anglo-American legal advisors without privilege to practice in Japanese courts; and

(2) those admitted to full practice in the Japanese courts.
