Independence of the judiciary

Japanese: 司法権の独立 - しほうけんのどくりつ
Independence of the judiciary
When a judge presides over a trial, his/her judgment shall not be influenced by any interference, legally or factually, from the Diet, the government, or any other body. This is also called the independence of judges. The Constitution stipulates that "All judges shall be independent in the exercise of their conscience and shall be bound only by this Constitution and the laws" (Article 76, paragraph 3). In order to guarantee the independence of the judicial power, judges are given particularly strong status protection (Article 78 of the Constitution).

裁判官が裁判をするにあたって,法律的にも事実的にも,議会,政府,その他何ものの干渉によっても判決を左右されないこと。裁判官の独立とも。憲法は〈すべて裁判官は,その良心に従い独立してその職権を行い,この憲法及び法律にのみ拘束される〉(76条3項)と定める。司法権の独立を保障するために裁判官には特に強い身分保障が与えられている(憲法78条)。
