◆ Overview

✉ Judicial Yuan 司法院
No. 124 Chongqing South Road Sec. 1, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City 10048, Taiwan ROC [10048 台北市中正區重慶南路 1 段 124 號] ———————————— 🌏 Judicial Yuan – Web link

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.

◆ Leadership and structure

• Presidents of the Judicial Yuan
• Vice Presidents of the Judicial Yuan
• Secretary-generals of the Judicial Yuan since 1948
• Departments in the Judicial Yuan
• Courts under the Judicial Yuan
• National conferences on judicial reforms

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).

Presidents of the Judicial Yuan

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.

Courts under the Judicial Yuan

In general, the ROC court system comprises three main levels—the local level with district courts, the next higher level with the Taiwan High Court and the Fuchien High Court, and on top the level of the ROC Supreme Court.

▶  Supreme Court (zui gao fayuan 最高法院), est. 1927
▶  Supreme Administrative Court (zui gao xingzheng fayuan 最高行政法院), est. June 23, 1933
 ▶ ▶ Taipei High Administrative Court (Taibei gaodeng xingzheng fayuan 臺北高等行政法院)
 ▶ ▶ Taichung High Administrative Court (Taizhong gaodeng xingzheng fayuan 臺中高等行政法院)
 ▶ ▶ Kaohsiung High Administrative Court (Gaoxiong gaodeng xingzheng fayuan 高雄高等行政法院)
▶  Disciplinary Court (chengjie fayuan 懲戒法院)
▶  Intellectual Property and Commercial Court (zhihui caichan ji shangye fayuan 智慧財產及商業法院), est. July 1, 2008
▶  Taiwan Kaohsiung Juvenile and Family Court (Taiwan Gaoxiong shaonian ji jiashi fayuan 臺灣高雄少年及家事法院)
▶  Taiwan High Court (Taiwan gaodeng fayuan 臺灣高等法院), est. Nov. 1, 1945
 ▶ ▶ Taiwan High Court Taichung Branch Court (Taiwan gaodeng fayuan Taizhong fenyuan 臺灣高等法院臺中分院)
 ▶ ▶ Taiwan High Court Tainan Branch Court (Taiwan gaodeng fayuan Tainan fenyuan 臺灣高等法院臺南分院)
 ▶ ▶ Taiwan High Court Kaohsiung Branch Court (Taiwan gaodeng fayuan Gaoxiong fenyuan 臺灣高等法院高雄分院)

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).

National conferences on judicial reforms

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.

ROC Constitutional Court

✉  ROC Constitutional Court 憲法法庭
No. 124 Chongqing South Road Sec. 1, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City 10048, Taiwan ROC [10048 台北市中正區重慶南路一段 124 號] ———————————— 🌏 Constitutional Court – Web link

While the institution of ROC Grand Justices has been in place since 1948, the term “constitutional court” (xianfa fating 憲法法庭) came into use after 1993. As legal instrument governing constitutional review, its legal foundation today is the Constitutional Court Procedure Act (xianfa susongfa 憲法訴訟法) which was promulgated on Dec. 18, 2018. Amendments which came into effect on Jan. 4, 2022 resulted in the renaming of the “Council of Grand Justices” to “Constitutional Court” as a full-fledged judicial body. The Justices exercise jurisdiction in four situations:

• Interpretation of the Constitution (including the ROC Constitution and the Additional Articles),
• uniform interpretation of statutes and regulations,
• impeachment of the ROC President and the Vice President, and
• dissolution of unconstitutional political parties.

The following two paragraphs were copied directly from the website of the Constitutional Court (Chinese characters and links/URLs added by the chief researcher).

Court composition

The Justices (dafaguan 大法官) of the Judicial Yuan comprise the Constitutional Court. The Chief Justice, who serves as the President of the Judicial Yuan, shall be the presiding Justice (shenpanzhang 審判長) of the proceedings. If the Chief Justice is unable to preside over the proceedings due to any cause, the Justice who serves as the Vice President of the Judicial Yuan shall act as the presiding Justice instead. If neither of the two Justices is able to preside, the most senior Justice sitting in the proceedings shall act as the presiding Justice; the eldest Justice shall otherwise preside over the proceedings in the case of equal seniority.

Chambers of the Constitutional Court

The Constitutional Court may set up several Chambers (shenchating 審查庭). Each Chamber shall consist of three Justices and exercise powers in accordance with the Constitutional Court Procedure Act. The President and the Vice-President of the Judicial Yuan shall sit in and preside over one Camber, respectively. Each of the other Chambers shall be presided over by the most senior Justice, or in the case of equal seniority, the eldest Justice, thereof. Chamber membership shall be altered every two years.

The ROC Supreme Court (Zhonghua minguo zuigao fayuan 中華民國最高法院, 🏁—yuanzhang 院長) was established in 1927 based on the Dali Yuan 大理院 which had been founded in 1907 by the Qing as the highest adjudicative institution of last instance. The Law of the Supreme Court of the National Government (guomin zhengfu zuigao fayuan zuzhifa 國民政府最高法院組織法) was promulgated on Nov. 17, 1928.
