Judicial Review <strong>and</strong> Judicial Activism<br />

“Judicial Governance” is a criticism leveled by people who believe<br />

that justice <strong>of</strong>ficials act inappropriately or beyond their legitimate legal<br />

authority when checking the exercise <strong>of</strong> power by the executive or the<br />

legislature. It is strong criticism <strong>of</strong> the judicial institution that should be<br />

considered by all parties concerned. In particular, every judicial<br />

organization should strictly check its own performance, like accelerating<br />

the expansion <strong>of</strong> new legal knowledge <strong>and</strong> sticking to procedure when<br />

judging cases in order to make all parties involved trust that the court has<br />

always attached great importance to bringing justice without<br />

discrimination or prejudice towards any individual or case. More<br />

importantly, performance must be checked <strong>and</strong> transparent to confirm<br />

that judges perform their duties by taking into consideration their<br />

responsibility to the society <strong>and</strong> parties concerned. The exercise <strong>of</strong><br />

judicial power to judge a case must be based on facts <strong>and</strong> the application<br />

<strong>of</strong> law, which comes from a rational judging process with completely no<br />

prejudice toward any parties.<br />
