The Chief of the Supreme Court, Kim Myung-soo, said on the 4th that “I will do my best to make the court and the trial independent, and to ensure that the judges are committed to the trial and carry out their mission without trembling.” .
The Chief of the Supreme Court, Kim, said at the meeting of chiefs of the National Court held in the afternoon videoconference method: “Recently, there is a lot of concern and regret that the accusations and attacks on individual judges they are happening without hesitation beyond rational criticism of the trial results. ” Said this.
Chief Justice Kim said: “In times of acute conflict and confrontation, the value of a fair trial becomes heavier and challenges or threats to the independence of the judiciary tend to increase. We have to focus more on testing with a defined look. “
Chief Justice Kim continued: “With the benefit of reading the trend of the times and serious concerns, we must strive to resolve conflicts and confrontations and do justice through trial.” “Please encourage me with a warm heart so that I can focus on my work without becoming a problem.”
Meanwhile, Chief Justice Kim cited the abolition of the promotion system for the Chief Justice, the direct opening of the ethics inspector, the disclosure of unconfirmed sentences in civil trials, the provision of sentences in Braille for people with visual impairment and live broadcast of all consensus cases as achievements of judicial reform. On the other hand, it is regrettable that the judicial administration office is eliminated and the judicial administration meeting is not institutionalized.
The Supreme Court abolished the court administration office in December 2018 and submitted to the National Assembly a judicial reform plan (amendment to the Law of Organization of the Court) that analyzes the main judicial policies in the meeting of the judicial administration , a horizontal meeting. The intention was to change the regime of the imperial Supreme Court, which was pointed out as the cause of the judicial nongdan during the inauguration of the former head of the Supreme Court Yang Seung-tae, but two years later, the amendment has not been processed by the National Assembly. Chief Justice Kim said: “I will do my best to produce concrete results by promoting relevant legislation and reforms of the judicial administration system that have not been completed this year.”
Chief Justice Kim did not directly comment on the ‘judge’s inspection’ controversy over the fact that the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office of Investigative Information Office drew up a document analyzing the proceedings and leanings of the trial of the judges. It is worth mentioning whether the opinion that the countermeasures to the documents of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office should be discussed in the Meeting of the Delegation of National Judges, where more than 100 judges of the national courts meet, will leave the room and will be discussed in the meeting of judges on the 7th.
