Judicial Reform Foundation -- Building a Judiciary Trusted by the People from the Bottom Up
Established in 1995, the JRF is Taiwan's longest-standing non-governmental judicial reform organization. We are dedicated to uniting civil society forces and continuously promoting reform to build a fair, just judiciary worthy of the people's trust.
At its inception, the JRF raised three major demands: " melawan corruption, melawan interference, and melawan perfunctoriness" (translated contextually: anti-corruption, anti-interference, and anti-superficiality). Over the past 30 years, step by step, Taiwan's legal framework—such as the Code of Criminal Procedure, Constitutional Court Procedure Act, Legal Aid Act, and Crime Victim Rights Protection Act—has become increasingly comprehensive and complex. The substance of judicial reform has also evolved: from the heated debates among judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and academics over judicial personnel and litigation systems at the 1999 National Judicial Reform Conference, to the 2017 National Congress on Judicial Reform where diverse societal groups joined the discussion, collectively looking forward to the judicial system playing its role in safeguarding the rights of the people.
We believe that reform must be "bottom-up," "substantial in change," and "broad in impact." Only when the dream of reform becomes reality and touches more people can we live in a society where the people trust the judiciary.
