현행 헌법재판제도의 문제점과 개선방안

This article addresses the problems of our constitutional litigation system and their Reforms. The Constitutional Court has functioned successfully since it was established by current Constitution. So many excellent decisions of the Court demonstrate such a achievement. On the other hand, however, the role and a significant number of decisions of the Court has been criticised. It results partly from the problems of our constitutional litigation system. The system has to be reformed through the revision and supplement of the Constitution and the relevant statutes. The reform proposals are as follows; the revision of the qualification of the Justices and the appointment system of Justices, the permission of Constitutional Complaint against judgment of the courts, reform of the judicial control system against administrative decrees, regulations or ordinances of local governments, introduction of abstract judicial review, legislative supplement of adjudication on impeachment, legislative supplement for loss of status of relevant lawmakers in case of adjudication on dissolution of political party, etc. Those reforms are inevitable to improve the constitutional litigation system.
