It has been two years since the National Conference on Judicial Reform concluded in August 2017. On August 26, the government held a press conference to explain the implementation status of the judicial reform resolutions. Although the Alliance for Civil Supervision of Judicial Reform Conference Resolutions acknowledges some of the government's policies, overall, the pace of reform remains too slow. As the 2020 presidential election approaches, the government should take into account the probability of drastic shifts in personnel and policy directions, and promptly adjust its policy direction and progress to fulfill the goals of judicial reform.
Therefore, the Alliance will hold the "National Conference on Judicial Reform 2nd Anniversary Seminar" at the Taipei Bar Association on October 5. The Alliance will invite group conveners and members of the National Conference on Judicial Reform, official representatives, and individuals from all sectors concerned with this issue to participate together. The seminar will analyze how judicial reform can enhance public trust and narrow the distance between the judiciary and the people, while also reviewing the implementation status of key issues. We hope to exchange ideas through the seminar, identify problems, and implement the judicial reform resolutions.
