The Political Yuan revised the organizational law of the courts and added judicial affairs offices and appointed guardians to the High People's Procuratorate.

In order to solve the dilemma of huge caseload and manpower dispatch, the Executive Yuan today (15th) approved the draft amendments to some provisions of the Court Organization Law and related schedules drafted by the Judicial Yuan, and will be submitted to the Legislative Yuan for review. Chief Executive Officer Cheuk Wing-tai said that the revision of the law is to respond to the huge caseload and manpower dispatch needs of courts and procuratorates, and to increase the flexibility of manpower utilization by adding positions and adjusting staffing arrangements.

Zhuo Rongtai pointed out that there are two key points in this revision of the law: first, the establishment of a judicial affairs office in the High Court and the installation of judicial affairs officers; the establishment of guardians and assistant prosecutors in the High Prosecutor's Office and its prosecutorial branch, and the revision of their staff tables to meet the needs of case handling.

Second, statutory posts with similar qualifications and duties required for court inspections are consolidated and organized, including chief prosecutors and judges, recorders and court clerks, chief prosecutors and prosecutors, forensic doctors and examiners; in addition, the first-category district courts and district prosecutor's offices are subdivided into first-category one, first-category two and other two categories based on differences in the number of cases they accept, retaining flexibility and reasonably reflecting the organization's manpower needs.

Zhuo Rongtai mentioned that he was grateful to Political Affairs Councilor Lin Mingxin for coordinating the process of amending the law, and asked the Ministry of Justice to actively communicate and coordinate with the Judicial Yuan and the ruling and opposition parties in the Legislative Yuan to complete the law amending process as soon as possible after the case is submitted to the Legislative Yuan for review.
