Fan Kuang-chun (Chinese: 范光群; pinyin: Fàn Guāngqún; born 16 March 1939) is a Taiwanese lawyer and politician.

[edit]

Fan earned a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) from National Taiwan University and studied at Columbia Law School in the United States, where he earned a Juris Doctor (J.D.).[1] He and John Chen co-founded Formosa Transnational Attorneys at Law in 1974.[2] Fan has also worked for the Examination Yuan and served as a judge at the district court level in Taipei and Taichung.[1]

Political career

[edit]

Fan served as spokesman for a group of cross-strait relations advisers President Chen Shui-bian formed in 2000.[3] On 14 June 2001, Chen started the Hakka Affairs Council, and appointed Fan the first minister.[4] Fan left the Hakka Affairs Council to become governor of Taiwan Province. He joined the Democratic Progressive Party in January 2003.[5] During his governorship, Hualien County Magistrate Chang Fu-hsing died in office, and Premier Yu Shyi-kun named Fan the acting magistrate on 20 May 2003.[6][7] On 7 October 2003, Fan was selected as the secretary-general of the Judicial Yuan by Chen Shui-bian. That same day, he resigned from the Democratic Progressive Party.[8] In July 2007, media speculation linked Fan to a promotion as vice president of the Judicial Yuan,[9] but he remained secretary-general of the body until at least September of that year.[10]
