Ahead of introduction of lay judge system in 2009, a play will run from this month to July. The name of the play is "Tokyo District Court Criminal Trial No,201" , it is based on an actual court case. Audience will be given materials, such as written indictment and a plan of the crime scene. And when the play ends, they vote on wheater the defendant is guilty. The aim of the play is that audience come to know what challenges will be faced by lay judges by watching, thinking and deciding.

I think it is interesting. Many people may not know lay judge system in detail. So, waching the play and thinking about real cases is good chance for people. But I don't think the play is not practical. Because the play will not treat many cases, it is not limitless.
