The Legal Training and Research Institute (司法研修所 Shihō-kenshū-jo) is operated by the Supreme Court of Japan for the purposes of judicial research and training of new attorneys, prosecutors and judges.

It is located in the city of Wako, Saitama, northwest of Tokyo.

LTRI is an ancillary organization of the Supreme Court and consists of two divisions: a First Division that conducts research, and a Second Division that conducts training of new attorneys, prosecutors and judges.

All prospective attorneys, prosecutors and judges in Japan are required to undergo paid full-time training at LTRI (司法修習 shihō-shūshū) after passing the bar examination.

The training period was two years prior to 1998, and is currently either 12 months (for law school graduates who have passed the "new" bar examination), or 16 months (for those who have passed the "old" bar examination which does not require a law school degree).
