Judicial Reform Foundation — Building a Judiciary Trusted by the People from the Bottom Up
Founded in 1995, the Judicial Reform Foundation is Taiwan's oldest civil society judicial reform organization. We are committed to uniting grassroots efforts to continuously promote reform in order to build a fair, just, and trustworthy judiciary for the people.
At its inception, the JRF raised three major demands: " melawan corruption, against interference, against perfunctoriness." Over the past 30 years, step by step, Taiwan's legal systems—such as the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Constitutional Court Procedure Act, the Legal Aid Act, and the Crime Victim Rights Protection Act—have become increasingly complete and sophisticated. The connotation of judicial reform has also evolved: from the heated debates among judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and scholars regarding the reform of judicial personnel and litigation systems at the 1999 National Judicial Reform Conference, to the 2017 National Congress on Judicial Reform, where diverse social groups joined the discussion with a shared expectation that the judicial system should act as a guardian of the people's rights.
We believe that reform must be "bottom-up," "substantial," and "have expanding influence." When the dream of reform becomes a reality and touches more people, can we live in a society where the people trust the judiciary.
