 |
The Judicial Yuan (sifa yuan 司法院) was established on Nov. 16, 1928 and operates the court system of the ROC.
Composition and main duties
The Judicial Yuan comprises a president, vice president and (as of June 2014) thirteen grand justices (da faguan 大法官) which
constitute the Council of Grand Justices (da faguan huiyi 大法官會議), also called "Justices of the Constitutional Court" in English.
These fifteen persons are nominated and appointed by the ROC president with the consent of the ROC
Legislative Yuan. In their function of Constitutional Court (xianfa fating 憲法法庭) which was
established on Feb. 3, 1993 and began operation on Oct. 22 that year, they interpret the constitution and have the power to unify the
interpretation of laws and regulations. They also preside over impeachment trials of the ROC president or VP if the Legislative Yuan
passes an impeachment resolution.
Division of labour
As general principles of modern democratic systems apply in the ROC as well, the basic difference between the Judicial Yuan and the
Ministry of Justice (MOJ) can be described as follows.
- The Judicial Yuan operates the court system of the ROC, interprets the Constitution and is vested with disciplinary power. Courts
on different levels adjudicate legal disputes between parties and carry out the administration of justice in civil, criminal, and administrative
matters in accordance with the rule of law. As justice is supposed to be blind, courts are independent from government interference and must
remain neutral in terms of party politics.
- The MOJ is an institution of the executive branch, i. e. part of the central government with authority in matters concerning the legal
system, prosecution, the correctional system and other duties. It has no authority to interfere in court proceedings and trials (especially
in reaching a verdict and rendering judgment).
Since amendments to the Ministry of Justice Organization
Act (fawubu zuzhifa 法務部組織法) were passed in 1980, the administration of the courts and the prosecution have been separated. This
arrangement was devised in order to draw a clear line between the judicial power and the administrative power by placing the prosecution and
judgment under the jurisdiction of two different branches. |

The Judicial Yuan is headed by a president (yuanzhang 院長), the other two most senior positions are vice
president (fu yuanzhang 副院長) and secretary-general (mishuzhang 秘書長).

Note: During the Legislative Yuan's confirmation hearings in October 2016, blue-camp legislators objected
the appointment of Hsu Tzong-li on constitutional grounds as the president and vice president of the Judicial Yuan automatically
serve as grand justices, and Hsu had already been grand justice between 2003 and 2011. Article 5 of the ROC Constitution's
Seventh Amendment stipulates that 'Each Justice of the Constitutional Court of the Judicial Yuan shall serve a term of eight
years, independent of the order of appointment to office, and shall not serve a consecutive term. The Justices of the
Constitutional Court serving as President and Vice President of the Judicial Yuan shall not enjoy the guarantee of an
eight-year term.' (司法院大法官任期八年,不分屆次,個別計算,並不得連任。但並為院長、副院長之大法官,不受任期之保障。)
The Tsai Ing-wen administration argued that Hsu was not 'taking another term' (lianren 連任) but was 'being
reappointed' (zairen 再任), meaning there was a time gap between the two terms and not two consecutive terms
back-to-back, hence Hsu's return as grand justice would not violate the constitution.

Please note that a Fuchien High Court (Fujian gaodeng fayuan 福建高等法院) in the ROC was first established
in April 1927. Furthermore, after the Japanese took over Taiwan, a three-level court system was introduced in 1896, and
the Taiwan Governor’s High Court (Taiwan zongdufu gaodeng fayuan 台灣總督府高等法院) was established on July 15
that year. Between July 1898 and August 1919 Taiwan had a two-level court system without a High Court.
Before the Disciplinary Court was set up on July 17, 2020, its predecessor was known as Public Functionary Disciplinary
Sanction Commission (gongwuyuan chengjie weiyuanhui 公務員懲戒委員會).
Besides the judicial courts on various levels, the Judicial Yuan also controls and supervises the Judicial Personnel
Study Center (sifayuan sifa renyuan yanxisuo 司法院司法人員研習所).
Another institution under the jurisdiction of the Judicial Yuan is the Judges Academy (faguan xueyuan 法官學院)
which was established on March 1, 2001.

Reforms of the ROC judiciary were not limited to constitutional amendments. A national conference on judicial reform
(quanguo sifa gaige huiyi 全國司法改革會議) convened July 6–8, 1999 and was attended by 125 persons. After taking
office as ROC president in May 2016, Tsai Ing-wen announced that a second national Conference on judicial reform would be
staged in the first half of 2017, and it would endeavor to incorporate more public opinion rather than being dominated by
experts. The first meeting of the Presidential Office Organizing Committee for National Conferences on Judicial Reforms
(zongtongfu sifa gaige guoshi huiyi choubei weiyuanhui 總統府司法改革國是會議籌備委員會) took place on Nov. 25, 2016
with Tsai as convener (zhaojiren 召集人). Please note that the National Conferences on Judicial Reforms are sometimes
called "National Congress on Judicial Reform" in English.
