국민참여재판 제도의 개선방안에 관한 연구

Nine years have passed since the trial of the the citizen participation trial system. In the meantime, the citizen participation trial system has been functioning as a system that embodies the people’s interest in the nation's judicial system, and is functioning as a system that embodies the constitutional principle of constitutional sovereignty. However, there have been many problems, despite the fact that there have been many achievements in the implementation process. As a result of the enforcement of the trial, it achieved national sovereignty in the judicial sector, and also raised public confidence in the trial proceedings. On the other hand, low voter turnout and high withdrawal rates were cited as a problem, and the court's high rate of rejection and high appeal ratios were also addressed. The root of these problems stems from the application system of the accused and the distrust on the juty’s verdict. The revision of the National Judicial Reform Committee and the revised revision submitted by the Ministry of Justice to finalize the final version of the citizen participation trial system can not resolve the problem of the current citizen participation trial system. If we think back to our original intentions and think about the original purpose, we will be able to come up with the most reasonable results. The legal objective of the citizen participation trial system is to gain the trust of the people through the fair trial and establish democratic justice in the trial system. If we wish to achieve an advanced system to achieve this goal, we must adopt a full-scale coercive system of the target case. And the jury’s verdict must have legal binding powers.
