 　Audio detailing the supervisory authority of the Governor of Kyoto Prefecture

I want to ask you to take care of my inheritance" or "I want to get a permit to open a store." ...... In such cases, we can rely on Gyoseishoshi Lawyers, the "lawyers in town. However, it is not just because they have national licenses that we feel comfortable entrusting them with our work.

Actually,The Governor of Kyoto Prefecture, as the "supervising authority," rigorously checks the Gyoseishoshi Lawyers Association.This is the behind-the-scenes of the project.

1. the governor of Kyoto Prefecture is in the legal position of "supervisory authority

The Governor of Kyoto Prefecture (in charge of practice: Local Government Promotion Division) is in a position to guide and supervise the Kyoto Gyoseishoshi Lawyers Association based on the law known as the Gyoseishoshi Law. This is not a mere cooperative relationship. The role of the Governor is to strictly monitor on behalf of the citizens of the prefecture to ensure that the Gyoseishoshi Lawyers Association is being properly managed and that its member Gyoseishoshi Lawyers are following the rules.

2. the powerful "corrective action" card

If the administrative board is grossly mismanaged or does not take appropriate action in response to misconduct by its members, the governor has the authority to issue a "recommendation for correction".

Gyoseishoshi Scrivener Law Article 18-6 (2) The prefectural governor may, when he/she finds it necessary, request a report from the Gyoseishoshi Lawyers Association (omitted) or make recommendations concerning the business it conducts.

In this way, the governor can, if necessary, order an official to "correct the current practice because it is improper.

3. the "last bastion" of social trust

The Gyoseishoshi Lawyers Association is an organization that provides guidance to individual Gyoseishoshi Lawyers, but if the organization itself falls into self-righteous management, the trust of prefectural residents will be undermined. Therefore, the Kyoto Prefectural Government (Local Autonomy Promotion Division), as a "last resort" so to speak, is keeping a close eye on the organization to ensure transparency and democracy in its management.

• Are high membership fees being used appropriately?
• Is the company being run by a few board members in a dogmatic manner?
• Are benefits being returned to the citizens of the prefecture through its members?

Strict attention to these issues will result in protecting the environment in which we can all use administrative services with peace of mind.
