On <strong>February 25, 2026<\/strong>, chief judges from courts across the country expressed <strong>\u201cgrave concern\u201d<\/strong> about a package of judicial reform bills backed by the ruling Democratic Party. They said the proposals had moved forward without enough public discussion and could create serious side effects for the legal system and for ordinary citizens. (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.yna.co.kr\/view\/AEN20260225007551315\">Yonhap<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the Reform Bills Would Change<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The reform package is not small potatoes. According to Yonhap, the bills would do three major things: create a new crime of <strong>\u201clegal distortion,\u201d<\/strong> allow <strong>constitutional appeals of court rulings<\/strong>, and expand the number of <strong>Supreme Court justices from 14 to 26<\/strong>. Critics say those changes could reshape the balance of power inside South Korea\u2019s judiciary and create more uncertainty about how final court decisions really are. (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.yna.co.kr\/view\/AEN20260225007551315\">Yonhap<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Judges Support a Smaller First Step<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes this story especially interesting is that the judges did not reject every reform idea. Reporting from <strong>ChosunBiz<\/strong> and <strong>Seoul Economic Daily<\/strong> said many court chiefs agreed that the Supreme Court may need more justices. But instead of a sudden jump from 14 to 26, the majority view was to first add <strong>four justices<\/strong>, study the effect on trials, and then discuss whether further expansion makes sense. That is a much more careful approach than a fast political sprint. (<a href=\"https:\/\/biz.chosun.com\/en\/en-society\/2026\/02\/25\/OMWIAVWZKNGDLEAKVEBZ54ZVHM\/\">ChosunBiz<\/a>) (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.sedaily.com\/society\/2026\/02\/26\/court-chiefs-express-serious-regret-over-ruling-partys\">Seoul Economic Daily<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Judges Are Worried About Speed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The concern is not just about numbers. Judges warned that allowing constitutional appeals against court rulings could delay the final settlement of cases and effectively create a kind of fourth trial layer. Seoul Economic Daily reported that court presidents said repeated litigation could hurt citizens and create legal instability. In plain English, the judiciary is worried that a reform meant to improve justice could accidentally make justice slower, messier, and harder for the public to trust. (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.sedaily.com\/society\/2026\/02\/26\/court-chiefs-express-serious-regret-over-ruling-partys\">Seoul Economic Daily<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">South Korea Judicial Reform Became a Political Fight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This issue quickly turned into a larger political battle. The Korea Times reported that the opposition People Power Party accused the ruling Democratic Party of pushing the bills too aggressively and trying to weaken judicial independence. The ruling party answered that the reforms would better protect people\u2019s rights. Then, on <strong>March 1<\/strong>, the National Assembly passed the bill to increase the number of Supreme Court justices from <strong>14 to 26<\/strong>, with the increase beginning in <strong>2028<\/strong>. Under the current timetable, President <strong>Lee Jae Myung<\/strong> could appoint <strong>22 of the 26 justices<\/strong> during his term. That is a big reason why the fight has become so heated.

But when legal reform moves too quickly, people start to suspect that politics is steering the ship. The judges\u2019 message was fairly clear: reform the system if needed, but do it carefully, openly, and in a way that does not create even bigger problems later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vocabulary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Judiciary<\/strong> (noun) \u2013 the system of courts and judges in a country.<br><em>Example:<\/em> \u201cThe judiciary said the reform bills could have serious side effects.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plenary session<\/strong> (noun) \u2013 a full meeting of all members in a legislative body.<br><em>Example:<\/em> \u201cThe bills were sent to a plenary session for a vote.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Deliberation<\/strong> (noun) \u2013 careful discussion before making a decision.<br><em>Example:<\/em> \u201cThe judges asked for more public deliberation.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Constitutional appeal<\/strong> (noun) \u2013 a legal request asking a constitutional court to review a ruling or issue.<br><em>Example:<\/em> \u201cThe proposed constitutional appeal system worried many judges.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Judicial independence<\/strong> (noun phrase) \u2013 freedom for courts to make decisions without political pressure.<br><em>Example:<\/em> \u201cCritics said the bills could weaken judicial independence.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Litigation<\/strong> (noun) \u2013 the process of taking legal action in court.<br><em>Example:<\/em> \u201cRepeated litigation could make the system slower and more confusing.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Side effect<\/strong> (noun) \u2013 an additional result, often an unwanted one.<br><em>Example:<\/em> \u201cThe judges warned of side effects from rushed reform.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Incremental<\/strong> (adjective) \u2013 happening in small steps rather than all at once.<br><em>Example:<\/em> \u201cAdding four justices first would be a more incremental change.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Overhaul<\/strong> (noun) \u2013 a major change or complete reform of a system.<br><em>Example:<\/em> \u201cSome judges said the court overhaul was moving too fast.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Instability<\/strong> (noun) \u2013 a condition of uncertainty or lack of balance.<br><em>Example:<\/em> \u201cLegal instability can reduce public trust in the courts.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discussion Questions (About the Article)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What specific concerns did the chief judges raise about the reform bills?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What three main changes were included in the judicial reform package?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why did many judges prefer adding four justices first instead of approving a bigger increase immediately?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why are some people worried about constitutional appeals of court rulings?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why did this legal debate become such a major political issue?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discussion Questions (About the Topic)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Should judges play a public role in debates about judicial reform?
