Good Japanese Court Rulings and the Judges Who Make Them

Well, we include good ones here too.  If you have a ruling that is either good or bad, please contribute the name of the judge!

Good Rulings for Japanese Children

Judge Court Reason
Toshihiko Tsuruoka, presiding judge

<other judges also - will post names when found>

 Tokyo District Court Judges it unconstitutional to deny citizenship to a child born out of wedlock but acknowledged by father AFTER birth.  (As opposed to heretofore requirement of being done before birth.)

<<still looking for supreme court decision itself...>
Koichi Namba, presiding judge

<other judges also - will post names when found>

 Tokyo District Court September 21, 2006

...the Tokyo school board cannot force teachers to sing "Kimigayo" before the flag  or punish them for refusing to do so, because that infringes upon the freedom of thought guaranteed by the Constitution...

This means that there may also be limits to the "enforced patriotism" thru grades that is creeping into Japanese schools and is anathema to multiculturalization.
