In civil proceedings at summary courts, judicial commissioners are private citizens who assist in settlements or attend hearings to express their opinions (Civil Procedure Act, Article 279). Unlike jurors and lay judges, they do not participate in trials, but they are allowed with the aim of reflecting social common sense in trials and realizing friendly proceedings. Each year, the district court selects at least 10 judicial commissioners per summary court from among those with good sense and others deemed appropriate (Judicial Commissioner Rules, Articles 1 and 3). From among them, at least one person is designated for each case, but the use of judicial commissioners is left to the discretion of the court, and in reality, they are not used very often.

簡易裁判所で行われる民事手続において、和解を補助したり、あるいは審理に立ち会って意見を述べる民間人(民事訴訟法279条)。陪審員や参審員と異なり、裁判に関与するわけではないが、社会良識を裁判に反映させ、親しみやすい手続を実現する趣旨から認められている。地方裁判所が、毎年あらかじめ良識のある者、その他適当と認められる者のなかから、1簡易裁判所につき10人以上の割合で選任することになっている(司法委員規則1条、3条)。そのなかから各事件につき1人以上が指定されるが、司法委員を利用するか否かは裁判所の裁量にゆだねられており、あまり利用されていないのが実情である。 [大出良知] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
