This volume contains contributions to a symposium that was held according to a tradition of amicable relationship between the law schools of the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg and Nagoya University on September 30 - October 1, 2015 in Nagoya on the topic "Realization of Substantive Law through Legal Proceedings". In a time where the value of law enforcement through courts is incrementally questioned and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms are globally promoted the question of the purpose of civil procedure and the relationship between substantive law and its realization through legal proceedings is of particular relevance. The topic thereby not only concerns traditional civil and civil procedural law, but also labor, patent and private international law. The volume reflects the topic's relevance from a comparative perspective since similar tendencies and questions currently arise in Japan and Germany.

This volume contains contributions to a symposium of scholars from the Nagoya Law School and the Faculty of Law of the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg on the topic "Reactive Instruments of Social Governance". Together with volume 20 of the Freiburger Rechtswissenschaftliche Abhandlungen it completes the documentation of the results of a joint research project funded by the Nagoya Institute of Advanced Research (IAR) and the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS). With the social governance by law and the interplay between substantive legal standards and procedural enforcement the symposium addressed a topic of both outstanding academic and practical importance. In the pursuit of certain political or social goals a legal system is basically faced with two options: the exertion of influence on the behaviour of its citizens by means of preventive or reactive instruments. The relationship of preventive and reactive regulatory instruments is a key element for the analysis and understanding of a legal system.

This volume contains contributions to a symposium of scholars from the Nagoya Law School and the Faculty of Law of the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg on the topic "Preventive Instruments of Social Governance". With the social governance by law and the interplay between substantive legal standards and procedural enforcement the Symposium addressed a topic of both outstanding academic and practical importance. The legal framework is an essential instrument in modern rule-of-law societies for defining standards of societal life. Of course, ways of governance by law may vary between legal systems and cultures, but in the analysis of legal governance instruments, the interplay between substantive standards and their procedural enforcement is always of central importance. In the pursuit of certain political or social goals, a legal system is basically faced with two options: the exertion of influence on the behaviour of its citizens either by means of preventive or of reactive instruments. The relationship of these two regulatory tools is a key element for the analysis and understanding of a legal system.
