AB - Since the Constitutional Court may exercise its influence on politics and policies, it is vitally important that Constitutional Court Justices are elected fairly. On February 9, confirmation for the new Constitutional Justice candidate, Cho Yong-hwan was rejected by the National Assembly. This study empirically investigates the causes of the rejection. Based on a content analysis of the Confimartion Committee sessions of the Justice nominee, this study attempts to test if the legislature acted in a non-partisan, inter-partisan, or cross-partisan mode. The result of the analysis shows that the inter-partisan mode is one of the dominant features in the debates of the Committee. In other words, the opposition party which nominated the candidate took a positive attitude toward the confirmation, but the ruling party took a tough stance against the candidate. In addition, this research reveals that the cross-partisan mode affected the discussion about the confirmation. In particular, the differences between assemblymen qualified as lawyers and those not qualified are statistically significant. Thus, it shows that partisan bias and interest of particular groups can have an effect on the confirmation of the Constitutional Court Justice. The study concludes by recommending an alternative election system.
