Former Chief Justice CHO Jin-man
The late CHO Jin-man, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court was born in 1903 and died in 1979. It is not easy to study the footsteps of him at about 40 years after his death. Nonetheless, this study has great significance in showing his life and achievements, the history and process of development of the judiciary and judicial system, and the appearance of desirable judge to the ordinary people as well as to the lawyers living today. The contents of this study are largely composed of his 'footsteps before being chief justice', 'footsteps as the chief justice', and various evaluations about him as a legal person as well as a general person. In his footsteps before being Chief Justice, his life was illuminated as a student who participated in the March 1st Movement, a young man who passed the high-ranking civil service examination, and the first Korean chief judge during the Japanese colonial era. In addition, his life as a lawyer having his own conviction and the Minister of Justice who tried to guarantee human rights were described based on the situation at that time. In his footsteps as the chief justice, his accomplishments such as contribution to the modernization of the judiciary and the development of the judicial system after his inauguration as chief justice were mainly dealt with. Above all, he made efforts to translate judgments into Korean so that the general public could easily understand the rulings and provided an opportunity to use easy legal terms in Korean. He also reduced the workloads of judges by streamlining the writing of judgment papers, and changed the witness interrogation method from ex officio interrogation to the alternation interrogation by the parties. He established the High Court Appeal Department and the District Court Appeal Department to deal with the burden of the court cases and to handle the cases quickly. He also introduced a trial researcher system to the Supreme Court, established the Seoul Family Court to provide professional and efficient judicial services, and contributed to the introduction of a judicial graduate school for advanced legal education system. Furthermore, he improved the judge’s robe by establishing “regulations on judge’s robe”. In addition, he worked hard to secure public confidence in the court when he was Chief Justice. He practiced an honest and moderate life for this. In describing the evaluation about him, much objective materials were used to maintain a balanced view rather than a subjective evaluation of the researcher. He lived as a lawyer from the Japanese colonial era until the government of Park Chung Hee. His life as a legal person, especially his life as the 34th Chief Justice, coincided with the history of the modernization of the judiciary. It is difficult for this study to contain everything about him, but his life can give a lot of thought for all of us living in this age.
