Saiban (Japan's judicial system)

Japan's trial system is called "Saiban", which is a jury-based trial system, which is very different from other countries' trial systems. In Saipan, the jury is composed of ordinary people, who are selected to participate in the trial process and make decisions under the guidance of the judge.

Saipan is widely used in Japanese criminal cases. Its purpose is to ensure a fair and transparent trial process and provide better protection for defendants. The following will introduce the operation steps and some precautions of Saipan.

Step 1: Choose a jury.

In Saipan, the members of the jury are selected from a randomly selected list. The list includes some people who are thought to be able to make a fair decision. These people come from different communities and backgrounds. In the process of selecting the jury, both the judge and the lawyers of both sides have the right to choose and exclude.

Step 2: Hold a trial.

In Saipan, judges and juries preside over trials together. During the trial, the defendant and witnesses will be summoned to court for questioning and cross-examination. In this process, the judge and the jury will listen to the testimony of both sides and conduct necessary investigation and research.

Step 3: Make a decision

In the match class, the jury needs to make a decision under the guidance of the judge. Before making a decision, the jury needs to discuss and analyze the case deeply. They need to consider all the evidence and testimony and make a decision based on their own judgment. Finally, the jury's decision will be submitted to the judge, who will make a final judgment based on this decision.

Advantages of Saipan

The advantage of Saiban is that it can ensure the fairness and transparency of the trial process and provide better protection for the defendant. In Saipan, juries are composed of ordinary people from various communities and backgrounds, so they can better represent the interests of the whole society. In addition, Saipan can also promote public trust and understanding of the judicial system.

Disadvantages of Saipan

Although Saipan has many advantages, it also has some disadvantages. First of all, because the members of the jury are randomly selected, they may not have enough professional knowledge and experience to make a decision. Secondly, because the members of the jury come from various communities and backgrounds, they may be influenced by various factors, such as personal prejudice and social pressure.
