About CALL4
Our Mission
CALL4 was established to advocate on behalf of those who are involved in lawsuits which could help to address a wide array of social problems through sharing their stories.
We hope our platform will be a place for everyone who is concerned or interested in the issues we raise to get positively involved by donating financially or participating in a different way.
The judicial process has long been considered closed, and irrelevant to most. CALL4 also strives to be a positive channel through which the voice of the people can be heard. Because we believe that you may realize that their stories and opinions are not something irrelevant, but in fact they are the same as yours.
The legal system is one of the building blocks of the society. And we believe that ensuring the accessibility of the law for all is the best path towards a new, more diverse and fair society.
What IS CALL4?
CALL4 is the first online platform in Japan dedicated for litigation funding with the goal of addressing social problems. By reading and understanding the plight of some of the underserved people we hope people will be encouraged to spread the word about the causes, to get involved in their own manner, or to participate financially.

Our Name and Logo
It comes from the idiom “call for,” which means “make necessary” and “publicly ask for or demand.”
Legislative, executive and judicial are referred as the three powers and we consider the power of the citizens as the fourth power.
The empathy of individuals can come together to become a huge power of the people. We wanted to ask for the fourth power publicly. That's why we incorporated the number 4 in our name.
Our logo is based on the image of such voices calling for the fourth power to the people.
To lawyers
CALL4 will be a useful resource for lawyers who are involved in public interest litigations to reach far beyond the courtrooms. You can communicate with the wider public about your activities more accurately and effectively. And by doing so, you will have more power to drive change in the world than before.
We want to make CALL4 a shared platform for everyone working in the law. We are constantly trying to improve our platform and services to help lawyers become more productive and efficient in filing lawsuits that address social issues.
We hope that CALL4 will be useful in many cases. We really want to hear what you have to say. We hope many individuals and organizations will come forward to contribute.
