[송평인 칼럼]Judge Bo's new Judicial Council meeting

In-In Song

He is a member of the Committee on Justice and People's Development (Bowl), which has over-reformed the court. I did not agree, but Saul Wei decided to appoint a "court management board" to transfer the jurisdictional authority of the Chief Justice and to include the 39, judicial administration outside the court.

Among the 10 members of the committee, there is the former president of the judicial council. In addition, there are two representatives of the councils of justice in the two specialized branches, composed of 12 and 13 members, who help the bowl. If the former chairman of the Judicial Committee agrees with the majority of the experts and with the majority of the opinions, and tries to persuade the members of the committee on behalf of the professional division, the Judicial Council can not to prevent him from thinking that he is coordinating the boss and the expert.

The professional division had originally proposed a judicial administration meeting composed solely of judges, similar to the US Federal Judicial Assembly. However, progressive members pushed inside the room, which included outside staff. In addition, other members of the Judicial Administration Council, who rebelled against the idea of ​​a judicial council to form a judge, and then the right to recommend a majority, decided to include the external part.

When the meeting of the judicial administration became an organization in which external staff participated in the meeting, the Justice Council decided not to miss the judicial staff committee. The Professional Division recommended to the Justice Council to recommend the majority of the members of the Judicial Staff Committee. However, a strong objection was raised for the subject of the greeting to be greeted and the phrase "gangbang" was deleted. Originally, he had tried to suppress the phrase "including the recommendation of a judicial meeting", but he left the case on the agenda of the meeting of judges. The farmers then continued. In the process of cultivating the adoption of the bill on the draft law on the organization of courts, the recommendation of the Judicial Council was resumed.

Ahn Chol-Sang, the first chief justice of the Supreme Court of Korea, was a relatively neutral person. However, as of June this year, the representative of the Judicial Council attended the Appointment Commission of the Supreme Court Judge and six of the 10 recommended members are courts. They are the representatives of the Judicial Council and those who are not, and if it is installed, it is likely to be influenced by the Chief Justice. Kim Sun-soo, appointed for the appointment in July, and Cho Jeong-hee, chief justice of the Supreme Court, had reached a consensus on the capacity to judge the Supreme Court. It seemed that the members of the committee had a strong feeling of rejection.

Recently, the Council of Justice's request for an indictment on the impeachment of judges was considered a mere jailbreak. The indictment is the authority of the National Assembly. The Democratic Party is ready to embark on the dismissal whenever it needs it, even if the Justice Council has not yet made a decision. A single vote, which provoked controversy within the quorum of decision, was the cause of confusion even within the court. The fact that the impeachment initiative initiated by some judges was adopted as the agenda of the judicial meeting within six days of the sudden absence of support from the local court support is a conspiracy theorem of the Charge of "impeachment". I gave the impression. Japan, which has a judicial system similar to that of Korea, does not include less than 10 years as a judge. In Korea, about 60% of judicial meetings are composed of judges and judges under 15 years of age. As judges, it is now in the judiciary that judges still have to learn how to influence judicial meetings more and that they try to influence the courts.
The US Federal Judicial Conference, which was the initial model of a judicial administration meeting, is composed of thirteen heads of appeal and an equal number of representatives elected by district courts . Most of the representatives elected by the district court are district counselors. In our case, the chief justice of the Supreme Court of Justice is in charge of the judicial administration with the heads of courts.

Judges are not elected democratically as parliamentarians, but are filled like bureaucrats. Therefore, the court can not function as the National Assembly. Not to be supported by a vote, but to become a court leader according to the order of the elders and distribute the file mechanically, is well suited to the functioning of the court. It is a practice based on such a derogation and order that is missing from our court. There is a need to reform the courts to create a framework to exclude arbitrary or arbitrary arbitration from court administration.
