Abstract

After an earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear power plant accident of historic proportions, how can lawyers help sort out the mess? In July 2011, we conducted interviews in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, the site of the world’s most recent nuclear disaster, to make a first cut at answering that question. This Article is a report on that field research.
