The recent string of corruption scandals involving judges and controversial rulings in child sex abuse cases has seriously damaged the reputation of the judiciary, which has led to the rise of a 'white rose' civic campaign calling for judicial reform. All sectors are now hoping that a law can be enacted to set up an evaluation system to eliminate unqualified judges. The law, however, is not a panacea that will restore judicial credibility. There are many problems that cannot be solved simply by evaluating judges. In the child sex abuse cases, for example, the public was concerned about the lack of proper protection for the victims, improper interpretation of existing laws and unduly lenient sentences for the defendants. There is a need for the judiciary to reconcile legal opinions and put forward ideas to correct flaws in existing laws. Otherwise, there will be no way to cope with wave after wave of no-confidence votes initiated by the people. (Editorial abstract -- Sept. 28, 2010)
