Abstract

Power and all its elements and the authorities these days cannot be safe from the sharp eyes of the people. Judiciary, judges and courts, both in legal cases and criminal cases, are among the important parts of power. If we understand democracy in the sense that it is the government of the people by the people and for the people, this question arises that judiciary, which is for the people and It is from the people; How the judiciary should be, This article is written in an analytical and descriptive manner and based on its findings it is clear that the people who do not recognize it as a symbol of oppression, will consider its decisions not as court rulings, but as oppressive orders, such a judiciary will not be respected and it will be a source of corruption. Mechanisms should be thought out so that justice is based on democracy. If the judges are not elected by the people, at least the judges' selection committees should be among the personalities accepted by the people and do not have the suspicion of interference from the government, at least in some crimes, People should be involved in power as members of the jury, and in this way they should consider power as their own, even if judges and courts, like other powers, do not consider themselves directly accountable for some reasons, the courts should be important in issuing decisions regarding this matter, whose audience is the general public, to issue a Appropriate judgment and to be impartial in judgments, to be diligent in solving social problems as far as possible in terms of the legal system.
