Fan Kuang-chun (Chinese: 范光群; born 16 March 1939) is a Taiwanese lawyer and politician.
Legal career
Fan and John Chen co-founded Formosa Transnational Attorneys at Law in 1974.[1]
Political career
Fan served as spokesman for a group of cross-strait relations advisers President Chen Shui-bian formed in 2000.[2] On 14 June 2001, Chen started the Hakka Affairs Council, and appointed Fan the first minister.[3] Fan left the Hakka Affairs Council to become governor of Taiwan Province. 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.[4][5] 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.[6] In July 2007, media speculation linked Fan to a promotion as vice president of the Judicial Yuan,[7] but he remained secretary-general of the body until at least September of that year.[8]
