대한민국, 일본국 양국의 국민참여 형사재판제도 = Citizen's Participation in Korean, Japanese Criminal Trial System

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The lay participation trial being in force in Korea is going to realize the ideal of direct-democracy, raise the quality of judicial service and improve the judicial trust through reflecting the national common sense and experience in trial procedure and result(decision or judgment).
But the writer, of course we can't achieve all at the very beginning, is hard to understand the current legal system that the judge is not bound by the verdict of jury and that in the trial on appeal case, the judge can reverse the original judgment(the verdict of jury) of the acquittal.
The current system is in a time of transition and we must change it in the direction of placing a high value on verdict of jury. If we can't trust the good judgment of jury, there is no reason why the lay participation trial is in force in Korea. Also, we acknowledge rationality of the judgment but if we place the limit that the judgment of jury has advice effect, we believe blindly in the judge.
In order to embody the judicature which the whole nation trust, each of us must carry out his own task sincerely. 1) The judge leads the trial procedure and assists the jury to decide reasonably. 2) The jury are mindful of their responsibilities. 3) The law supports the above-mentioned two.
We must settle the problems mentioned in the enforcement of the lay participation trial and the writer thinks that the legal system in Japan is worthy of notice.
