Career Mobility of the Judges

本研究的目的是考虑影响法官晋升的因素。将法官的晋升定义为地方法院院长或高等法院庭长，用布尔方法（定性比较分析）分析了参与劳资纠纷案件的法官的职业数据。重点分析了职业晋升与判断的关系。研究结果可归纳为以下三点。首先，地区法院审判长和高等法院审判长的经验是晋升的必要条件。第二，以前被借调到大法院或法务部的经历保证了晋升。最后，在劳动案件中，只参与有利于行政机关或公共组织的判决，可以促进晋升。结果表明，前职业和判断对晋升有影响。

The purpose of this research is to consider the factors those influence the promotion of judges. Defining the promotion of judges as moving up to a director of district court and/or a presiding judge of high court, career data of judges who engaged in cases of labor dispute are analyzed by Boolean approach (Qualitative Comparative Analysis). The analysis is focused on relations of the promotion to the former career and judgements.The results are summarized to the following three points. First, the experience of both a presiding judge of district court and a judge of high court is a necessary condition for the promotion. Second, the former career of secondment to the Supreme Court or the Ministry of Justice ensures the promotion. Last, participating only in judgements advantageous to administrative agencies or public organizations in labor cases, hastens the promotion. The results showed that the former career and judgements influence the promotion.
