- Abstract
- U.S. Supreme Court has held that the roles of vagueness doctrine are fair
notice and prohibiting arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement. As the former is
considered more important, the Court has explicitly taken the person of ordinary
intelligence standard. But the Court usually declared unvague the statute whose
meaning could be defined only by reference to many cases, other statues, and
common law tradition. It is substantially the lawyer standard. To solve this
dilemma, it is suggested that the ordinary person who would be law-abiding
would not be reluctant to take consult the lawyer. In some cases, the Court said
that prohibiting arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement is more important and
that it is not vague. if the statute would give minimal guidelines to govern law
enforcement. Most of recent 30 years vagueness cases are the first amendment
cases and criminal law cases in which area the statue should have the highest
definiteness. The Court usually decided not vague on those cases. That would
make clear that the U.S. Supreme Court takes the lawyer standard.
For the same reason, the Standard of our vagueness doctrine must be changed.
For a long time, the Constitutional Court of Korea has explicitly taken the
ordinary person standard in many decisions, but substantially it has applied the
lawyer test. In order to make consistent the external standard and the substantial
test, it should declare that the Court take the lawyer standard or at least the
law-abiding person standard.
