Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The Supreme Court Decision of 2011, which has the lay judge system as constitutional, understands the principle of national sovereignty as the same content as the democratic principle, and the lay judge system is permitted from these two principles. However, the Supreme Court decision of 2011 argue that the duties of the lay judges does not fall Article 18 later in the Constitution. It implicitly affirms that the necessity and rationality of a lay judge system is not very high. We should re-examine legislative relevance of the lay judge system.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
裁判員制度の定着が広く報道される一方,その憲法原理との関係や,立法政策上の妥当性については,依然として議論が十分ではない。本研究は,同制度の定着以前に,同制度の原理的問題が解決していないことを明らかにし,そして,同制度を合憲と判示した最高裁ですら,同制度への参加を強制することの政策上の必要性・合理性に関して,必ずしも十分な確信を有しているわけではないことを明らかにした。
