Hi sybil
'at the top' is the highest level of authority or control of a particular group or organisation. Your sentence does not say specifically what this is the top of; I think that it's probably the top (most important and influential) people in the Japanese legal system, but it might be political power, or even the top of the social scale. (Whichever it might be, the implication is that it is dominated by men).
It does not modify anything - it is the attitude/approach/outlook of the 'top' that is changing.

it means responsibility or authority to change.
