The researcher adopted survey method to collect data and three kinds of scales were used in the research: “Attitudes toward contents of the public trial observation system”, “satisfaction of present law”, and” expectancy of the public trial observation system”. There were 343 effective samples collected in this research. The “Attitude toward contents of the public trial observation system” scale was processed by one-way ANOVA, while the other two scales were processed by MONOVA and path analysis. The author found that the subjects think the most trial scrutators’ opinion should be the important basis for the judgments and it’ll influence the scrutators making judge if they face the defendants directly. Moreover, the subjects worry that the trail scrutators may encounter danger. The analysis of Satisfaction of present law scale shows that subjects think the judges couldn’t fit to citizen’s expectation for they don’t understand public opinion clearly. Besides, the subjects even consider that present justice isn’t intelligible and transparent enough for the public. However, most subjects still have positive attitudes toward the justice and they’re willing to be the trial scrutators. The analysis of one-way ANOVA shows that gender, age, education, litigation experience, legal backgrounds and present law satisfaction indeed influence the people’s attitude toward the contents of public trial observation system. On the other hand, the subjects’ litigation experiences influence both their satisfaction of present law and expectancy of the public trial observation system through the MANOVA analysis. Furthermore, the subjects’ satisfactions of present law could have impact on their expectation to the Public Trial Observation System. At the end of this research, the author gave some suggestions to the public trial observation system and the future research.
