국민참여재판제도의 시행상황과 앞으로의 과제

To heighten the righteousness and trust of democratic judiciary, our country has enforced the public participation trial from the 1st January 2008 and an amendment debate is being currently progressed through many different research and investigations from opinions of each social hierarchies. By analysing this enforcement situation from the past six year, a positive outcome is being received of the public participation trials. Although the juror's satisfaction were relatively high, problems arose from this such as low rates of applications and high rates of withdrawals, extremely short trial dates and juror selecting procedures and high rates of appeal. There needs to be a wider range of targeting events to activate the public participation trial. There also needs to be an introduction of forced infusion in a certain range, and also a re-examination of the trial dates and restriction of a one day trial for a faithful psychology. The public participation trial has not been properly settled to examine the juror's verdict effect, there may also be controversy of the constitution and endowing ‘de facto binding force’ will be appropriate in reality, however it is appropriate for the long-term. For the national justice system to be stably settled and distrust of the judicial system to disappear, listening to the sound of people and having common sense is needed. To get the public sympathy by the convinced jurors to we look forward to a mature justice democracy.
