Abstract

The Chinese image of an ideal judge (an upright and wise official) is different from that of the West (a blindfolded goddess holding a scale and a sword). Both represented unrealistic expectations. This paper analyzes the background of the creation of these images and the theoretical and practical difficulties these “ideal judges” encounter.

Keywords

ideal judges、 objectives of the judicial institutions and processes、 appropriate decisions and unanimity of decisions
