Judicial Reform Charging Station JUDICIAL PRO X Watching Dramas and Talking Judicial Reform

From the previously brilliant and astonishing Japanese dramas Legal High and HERO, to the recent attention-grabbing Korean dramas Miss Hammurabi—written by an actual sitting judge—and While You Were Sleeping—where characters fight alone to prevent their dreams from becoming reality—such legal dramas often use individual cases to highlight systemic issues. They remind audiences facing real-world dilemmas to further understand and reflect on the true face of the law.

Setting aside the fact that plots can sometimes depart from reality, the use of dramatic form and emotional resonance to spark discussion and empathy is precisely what makes legal dramas so captivating. We look forward to the day when Taiwan can also produce legal dramas like Miss Hammurabi, created by practitioners crossing over into the dramatic arts, making the law perhaps less of a cold impression and more of an aspiration and expectation. But before we wait and see with bated breath, come fuel up at our Judicial Reform Charging Station to chat about dramas and discuss judicial reform!

Event Background

The Judicial Reform Charging Station JUDICIAL PRO series is launching its first wave, with various issues to be integrated with judicial reform coming soon—don't miss out!
Since its establishment in 1995, the Judicial Reform Foundation has long been dedicated to judicial reform. In promoting judicial reform, we rely not only on the support and action of many senior veterans in the legal profession, but also on the passing of the torch to the younger generation and the support of the general public to cultivate and sustain our work over the long term. To enable newly minted attorneys, students concerned with judicial reform, and the general public to understand and participate in judicial reform, we will subsequently hold "Judicial Reform Charging Station JUDICIAL PRO" events. Through interactive discussions during these events, participants can share different perspectives and life experiences, acquire new knowledge, and carry forward the legacy of judicial reform.
