Mission Statement
The Judicial Reform Foundation (JRF) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization committed to the protection of human rights and the rule of law by reforming the judicial system in Taiwan. Founded in 1995, the JRF has offices in both Taipei and Taichung. Through case work, campaign and advocacy, educational programs, and legal research, we have been pushing for transparency in judicial system in the name of democracy and protecting the Rule of Law. 1995年11月，民間司法改革基金會籌備處正式成立，在1997年5月初正式完成財團法人登記的兩年間，參與成員有錢出錢有力出力，辦公室寄住在律師們的事務所中，以節省包括水電、影印、紙張等等所有日常性開銷，所有參與者不論大小事一律包辦，大家全力衝刺，一切都只為了成立一個以司法改革為宗旨的長期性團體。兩年後，我們不但募足了成立財團法人必需的一千萬基金，更重要的，我們凝聚了一批對司法改革有熱誠的各界同志，包括了律師、學界、民意代表，結合了行動與知識，終於邁開司法改革的步伐。 我們的工作分為立法研究、監督評鑑、教育推廣、個案追蹤四大類，其下分別設置數個工作小組，以不同的面向及角度，同時邁向一致的目標—司法改革。我們深信，司法改革的工作必須是全民的、行動的、持續的，有一天才能建立一個值得人民信賴的司法，才能達到司法能夠實現正義的理想，因此，在我們正式成立後的今天，向對這片土地還有愛的您發出邀請，期待您加入我們的行列！

This year's theme is "The Rule of Law: Foundation of Democracy," focusing on effective strategies to strengthen the rule of law, resist authoritarianism, and rebuild trust in democratic governance. A total of 109 countries and 424 civic groups participated. At 01:30 AM Taiwan time on August 1, during the American Bar Association's annual meeting, WJC held the final round in Chicago, where 30 finalists competed. Ultimately, one grand prize winner was selected for each of the five main themes. The Judicial Reform Foundation, represented by attorney Grace Huang(Director of Global Justice and Digital Freedom), successfully won the grand prize! This achievement highlights the impact of Taiwan's civil society on the world stage and showcases the sustainable achievements of Taiwan's oldest judicial reform organization. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the 318 Movement, making this award particularly significant as it emphasizes the efforts of Taiwan's civil society in safeguarding the rule of law through the 318 Volunteer Lawyer Platform. We extend our gratitude to the organizers and to all the partners of the Judicial Reform Foundation who love Taiwan and work together to uphold democratic rule of law. The Judicial Reform Foundation will continue its efforts, hoping that Taiwan's determination and strategies to strengthen democratic rule of law will provide confidence and support to regional democratic partners in an era of authoritarian expansion.
