演講摘要
自1999年臺灣召開全國司改會議迄今,司改話題迄未停歇,司法改革仍然千頭萬緖。臺灣各界對
司法改革正如火如荼的展開,但民調顯示司法信仼度猶然低靡。英國案例判決文提到「司法正義,
必須伸張,並須取信於人民」一人民才會有所感。個人從事司法審判超過30年,觀察民怨產生多
來自個案不正義,實現個案公平正義是司法的根本,也就是司法價值,捍衛司法價值是司法改革
的首要,更是人民期盼的司法轉型正義。

ABSTRACT: As immigrants to the United States, we have all benefited from the wealth of opportunities that this country has to offer. Not many countries welcome immigrants and provide them with opportunities to succeed. While the journey in a new country may not be easy, many of us have success in our adopted country. We, in turn, should help make things better for others struggling and less fortunate in both the United States and Taiwan.

Leona Chen 陳文羿
演講題目: Serving U.S. and Giving Back to Taiwan

Experience: Leona Chen grew up in the San Francisco Bay area and graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in 2018. She was also part of the inaugural graduating class of Fremont Taiwan School, a parent volunteer-run after-school program for Taiwanese languages, culture, and performing arts. Her debut poetry collection, Book of Cord (Tinfish Press 2018), discusses the state propaganda and lyric traditions of Taiwan and its diaspora. She is the editor-in-chief of TaiwaneseAmerican.org and the 2nd-Gen liaison for the Taiwanese American Federation of Northern California (TAFNC), both non-profit organizations, dedicated to uplifting and empowering the Taiwanese American community.

Abstract: My work in the Taiwanese American community today manifests through three channels: editorially, through TaiwaneseAmerican.org, service-based, through the Taiwanese American Federation of Northern California, and creatively, through the debut of my poetry collection on Taiwanese identity, Book of Cord. I was also in the inaugural class of Fremont Taiwan School and raised by founders and leaders within our community. I am extraordinarily lucky to have always found a sense of home, family, and identity because of the work of so many Taiwanese American organizations in the bay area. I have a line in my poetry collection that says: My mother presses a liberation flag into my palm and tells me: this revolution will be my only inheritance. What I believe we have inherited as Taiwanese people is a very young democracy that needs protecting and defending. What we offer as Taiwanese Americans is a dual sense of empathy, the ability to speak our mind in a democracy hundreds of years old, to have additional context to issues like police brutality and indigenous rights. I hope to offer this duality to our panel today. Thank you for having me.

Experience: Julie Wu’s debut novel, “The Third Son” (Algonquin Books) was listed as one of 10 riveting reads of May 2013 by O, The Oprah Magazine. Kirkus Reviews calls “The Third Son” an “alluring story that hits all the right emotional buttons and maintains readers’ empathy from the first page to the last.” The Taipei Times calls it the best novel featuring Taiwan I’ve ever read. . .

Her short fiction won honorable mention in the 2010 Lorian Hemingway Short Story Contest and has been published in Columbia Magazine.

Abstract: As a second generation Taiwanese-American, I was brought up to study hard, mind my own business, and stay away from politics. Over the years and decades, however, I have found it increasingly important and increasingly meaningful to be engaged with the communities I belong to, whether through my art or through community participation and action.
