Abstract
The division or the unification of judicial power depends on the development of legal systems of discussed countries. This is an important discussion in the judicial reform in Taiwan. This text is based on the perspectives of comparative law and the history of the multiple jurisdictions in Germany, a country where the development of judicial power is similar to that of Taiwan, especially in terms of “division of judicial power.” The author intends to focus the discussion mainly on the Social Court. From the study of the historical development of this professional and independent jurisdiction in public-law, the author will discuss the framework and the structure of the divided jurisdictions and to understand the reform and how it was successfully established. However, whether the judicial power is independent from other powers of the state, is not determined merely by whether the jurisdiction was established as a unilateral one or a divided one. From the observation of the author, the history of the formation of Germany Social Court shows a close relationship between the establishment of the independent and professional court and the discussion and development of the division of judicial power and executive power of that nation.
