Reconsideration of the Dilemma of the Democratic Judiciary based on the Republican Constitutional Theory of Deliberative Democracy

在这个研究项目中，我试图重新思考为什么法院拥有司法权，而它不直接具有民主合法性。赛番（外行法官）制度已经开始，但其意义正在讨论中。法院的民主合法性不如立法机关和行政机关，为什么根据宣布人民主权的《宪法》拥有司法权，这仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。笔者基于共和宪政的协商民主理论对这一问题进行了重新思考。

In this research project, I try to reconsider why a court has a judicial power whereas it does not have democratic legitimacy directly. Saiban-in (lay judge) system has started, but its meaning is now in discussion. The reason a court having less democratic legitimacy than a legislature and an executive has its judicial power under the Constitution declaring the sovereignty of the people is still an open question. I reconsidered this problem based on the republican constitutional theory of deliberative democracy.
