As Ulrich Beck illustrated, our contemporary society can be characterized as Risk Society. Especially, after 3.11 disaster and Fukushima nuclear accident, we felt more seriously the problem of geographically unequal distribution of the Risk. As the typical example of the Risk distribution problem, we will focus the local conflict about industrial waste disposal facility installation. In this paper, firstly I summarize the historical relationship between Law and Risk from French Legal History. Secondly, I examine the Risk Theory of Ulrich Beck and his legal thought. Finally, based on these preliminary works, I propose three main issues to which contemporary socio-legal scholars must engage.
