[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Eight new non-standing members of the Central Administrative Appeals Commission under the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission have been appointed.

The Central Administrative Appeals Commission announced on the 31st that the terms of the new members began on the 20th. The term is two years.

The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission stated that this appointment was made by comprehensively considering career, expertise, region, and gender based on recommendations from related organizations such as academic societies, bar associations, and medical associations.

From academia, Professor Kim Jaegwang of the Department of Law and Police Science at Sunmoon University, Professor Yoon Hyesun of Hanyang University Law School, Professor Lee Jinsu of Seoul National University Graduate School of Public Administration, and Professor Jeon Sanghyun of Seoul National University Law School were appointed.

From the legal sector, lawyer Kim Taeyong (Law Office YG), lawyer Im Banggeul (Law Firm Ariyul), lawyer Choi Seonho (Choi Seonho Law Office), and from the medical sector, Director Lee Taeyeon of Nalgae Hospital were appointed.

The 65 non-standing members, including the new appointees, are responsible for hearing and adjudicating administrative appeal cases filed with the Central Administrative Appeals Commission.

Administrative appeals are a system that protects the rights and interests of the public from illegal or unfair administrative dispositions by administrative agencies.

Unlike administrative litigation, which only judges the illegality of a disposition, administrative appeals are an effective remedy that also judges the unfairness of the disposition.

In addition, filing an administrative appeal is free of charge, and for economically disadvantaged appellants, the appointment of court-appointed attorneys is provided free of charge to actively protect the rights and interests of the public.

The Central Administrative Appeals Commission holds weekly meetings to ensure prompt relief of public rights and interests.

The heads of central administrative agencies, special mayors, metropolitan mayors, special self-governing mayors, governors, and special self-governing governors hear and adjudicate administrative appeal cases related to a single disposition.
