The Judicial Yuan on Friday held its first outdoor mock trial as part of its efforts to publicize the new citizen judge system.
The mock trial held in front of Tainan’s Madou Daitian Temple (麻豆代天府) featured three judges from the Tainan District Court, six citizen judges chosen from among local residents, and National Tseng-Wen Agricultural and Industrial High School students serving as prosecutors, the Judicial Yuan said in a statement.
