自1993年由改革派法官於臺中地方法院展開司法獨立改革運動以降，至今已三十餘年，然而對於這段時間法院體系的內部管理及其運作，在國內卻未能得到深入的研究及探討。本文嘗試探討臺灣司法體系中的司法院人事審議委員會、書類送審制度、法院行政職任期及法官遷調、法官職等、法官職務監督，送閱制度、事務分配回歸法官會議之相關機制，並透過觀察其結構性變化，加以探討臺灣司法行政於民主化後呈現什麼面貌，以及其對於司法獨立的影響。本文認為臺灣民主化後的司法行政在司法改革之下，呈現出下列的特色：司法行政對於審判獨立干涉的弱化，並且同時促進司法獨立程度的提升、司法行政有愈來愈多基層法官參與，且呈現愈來愈制度化及規則化的情形。同時，這也是一個長期發展的過程。這些司法行政的制度化和規則化以及職等的保障，也減少了法官聽從上級辦案的誘因，根本性的限縮司法獨立被干涉的空間。

Since 1993, when reform-minded judges launched a judicial independence movement at the Taichung District Court, more than thirty years have passed. However, the internal management and operations of the court system during this period have not been thoroughly studied or examined domestically. This paper attempts to explore mechanisms within Taiwan’s judicial system, including the Judicial Personnel Review Committee, the case submission system, the term of office and transfer of court administrative positions, judicial ranks, supervision of judges, the submission process, and the allocation of administrative affairs returning to judges’ meetings. By observing the structural changes of these mechanisms, the paper investigates the characteristics of judicial administration in Taiwan after democratization and its impact on judicial independence. The paper argues that post-democratization judicial administration in Taiwan, under judicial reforms, exhibits the following characteristics: a weakened interference of judicial administration in adjudicative independence, which simultaneously promotes the enhancement of judicial independence; increasing participation of lower-level judges in judicial administration; and a trend toward greater institutionalization and rule-based practices. Moreover, this represents a long-term developmental process. The institutionalization and regulation of judicial administration, along with the protection of judicial ranks, have also reduced judges’ incentives to comply with higher-ups in case handling, fundamentally limiting the scope for interference with judicial independence.
