Article 180Trial Procedures

第百八十条(審判手続)

Trial procedures (other than the decision to commence trial procedures and a decision under Article 185-7, paragraph (19)) are conducted by a panel composed of three trial examiners; provided, however, that in a simple case, the procedures are conducted by a single trial examiner.

審判手続(審判手続開始の決定及び第百八十五条の七第十九項に規定する決定を除く。)は、三人の審判官をもつて構成する合議体が行う。ただし、簡易な事件については、一人の審判官が行う。

For each trial case, the Prime Minister must designate the trial examiners composing the panel referred to in the main clause of the preceding paragraph, or the single trial examiner referred to in the proviso to that paragraph.

内閣総理大臣は、各審判事件について、前項本文の合議体を構成する審判官又は同項ただし書の一人の審判官を指定しなければならない。

If the Prime Minister decides to have a panel conduct trial procedures, the Prime Minister must designate one chief trial examiner from among the trial examiners designated pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph.

内閣総理大臣は、合議体に審判手続を行わせることとしたときは、前項の規定により指定した審判官のうち一人を審判長として指定しなければならない。

The Prime Minister may not designate a person that has participated in the investigation of the case as a trial examiner.

内閣総理大臣は、当該事件について調査に関与したことのある者を審判官として指定することはできない。
