신시대의 형사사법의 방식에 관하여- 법제 심의회 특별부회의 답신안을 중심으로 -

On May 18, 2011, the Minister of Justice issued consultation no. 92 on the ways to establish substantive and procedural criminal laws, asking the Legislative Council to review investigation and court proceedings that excessively rely on examination and statements and study the system for voice and video recording examination processes on suspects, with an aim of establishing a new criminal justice system suited to the times. In response, the Legislative Council decided to establish the Special Subcommittee on a Criminal Justice System for a New Era. The Special Subcommittee met thirty times and made a draft of a report. The Legislative Council accepted the draft and submitted the report to the Minister of Justice on September 18, 2014. This article considered several important points of the report such as (1) Introduction of mandatory voice and video recording of examination processes in certain serious crime cases, (2) Collection of testimonial evidence through methods other than examination, (3) Expansion of the category of crimes subject to interceptions of communications, (4) Expansion of disclosure of evidence including check list disclosure, (5) Expansion of the category of crimes qualified for court-appointed attorney to detained suspects. This article concludes that the report could help to make considerable reform to configure a new criminal justice system for a new era that need not excessively rely on examination and statements.
