I occasionally share updates and trivia from the court, along with public comments from Taiwanese legal scholars on cases and court business. If you like it, I hope you consider sharing it.

I recently published an analysis of the Taiwan Constitutional Court on the blog of the International Society of Public Law (ICON•S). In this post, I report on the Court’s internal dynamics over the past few months. In short, the Court has officially declined to intervene in the legal dispute regarding the Constitutional Court Procedural Act, opting instead to wait for a political solution.
Taiwan’s Constitutional Court (TCC) has issued no merits decisions since October 28, 2024. This silence reflects not constitutional stability but constitutional crisis. Taiwan is witnessing one of the most serious political deadlocks in this century. Who can break this deadlock? The TCC has refused to play such a role, officially declaring a vacuum in constitutional order. This essay reports the TCC’s turbulence from 2024-2025 and contributes to comparative constitutional scholarship with a regional case study examining what role constitutional courts play within democracy.
