引言近年来韩国的滥诉情况比较严重。个人主义思想的膨胀和大众传媒、移动通信等各种电子媒体的发展,带来了权利意识高涨,进而导致了国民的妥协精神也随之弱化,而这种现象带来的直接后果就是诉讼案件的大幅增加。为此,韩国法律界认为,有必要强化调解制度,以利于有效地解决当事人之间的纠纷。韩国人性格急,往往认为败诉会导致自己和家族名誉受到损害。因此,只要纠纷进入诉讼程序就意味着当事人之间的人际关系已经被破坏,很难以互谅互让的方式解决纠纷,往往要争执到审级制度(三审制)所允许的最终审级才肯 Introduction In South Korea in recent years, the situation of abuse is more serious. The expansion of individualist ideology and the development of various electronic media such as the mass media and mobile communications have brought about a rise in the awareness of rights and a consequent weakening of the people’s compromise spirit. The direct consequence of this phenomenon is litigation A substantial increase. To this end, the South Korean legal community believes that it is necessary to strengthen the mediation system in order to facilitate effective resolution of disputes between the parties. Koreans are often quick-witted and tend to think that losing a lawsuit can cause damage to themselves and their family’s reputation. Therefore, as long as the disputes enter into the litigation procedure, it means that the interpersonal relationships between the parties have been destroyed and it is difficult to resolve the disputes through mutual understanding and compromise. Therefore, it is often necessary to dispute the final trial allowed by the trial-level system (third-instance system)
