Abstract
Background and Objective: In the judicial discourse of Martyr Ayatollah Raisi, corruption eradication is considered one of the fundamental pillars of just governance, which is pursued through decisive action against violators, transparency, and the development of structural oversight. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the discourse of corruption eradication in the judicial governance of the Raisi school.

Methodology: This study was conducted with a qualitative approach and thematic analysis method. The research data were extracted from 17 speeches of Martyr Raisi during his presidency of the judiciary (2019–2020). Findings: The findings show that out of 14 basic themes, the largest number (5) is related to the fight against intra-organizational corruption and decisive action against violators, which are categorized into 3 organizing themes and ultimately form the overarching theme of "systematic fight against corruption in the judiciary."Also, 4 basic themes related to the health and efficiency of the judiciary are placed in the form of 2 organizing themes and lead to the overarching theme of "the necessity of the health and efficiency of the judiciary." In addition, 3 basic themes under the 2 organizing themes are linked to the overarching theme of "developing and strengthening oversight mechanisms," which emphasizes promoting transparency and oversight in the judiciary.

Results: The anti-corruption discourse in judicial governance of the Raisi school is based on three main axes: the systematic fight against corruption in the judiciary, the necessity of the health and efficiency of the judiciary, and the development and strengthening of oversight mechanisms.
