“ Because the quantity of judicial work and administrative work of the courts of justice has gradually increased but regional chief judges are the only persons responsible for supervising the work of regional courts of justice, without anyone to assist in performing the public service, this prevents the public service of the courts of justice from proceeding in a convenient, expeditious, and efficient manner as it should be. ”
