Chung Cheong-rae’Kangdong University Law School Law’ that is nowhere… I heard the theory of strabismus resurrection.

Along with 10 Democratic Party lawmakers including Chung Cheong-rae, the legal profession is infested with a bill for the establishment of a law school (law school) of Korea Communications University (a special bill on the establishment and operation of the National Broadcasting and Communication Law School) initiated on the 6th. According to this bill, KCTU can select people other than the existing law school enrollment quota (2,000) (the Minister of Education will discuss the size with related organizations in the future). The intention is to expand the legal profession to the socially underprivileged through online access and low tuition fees.

When the bill was initiated, the Law School Council, in which the heads of 25 law schools nationwide participated, issued a statement demanding the withdrawal of the law on the 12th, saying, “Immediately initiating a bill”. The Korean Bar Association and all the candidates of the Seoul Bar Association (5 and 3 each), which are currently in the election of the president of the association, are also making a joint pledge and demanding withdrawal through Facebook. ▶It is difficult to learn enough practical training in qualitative and quantitative terms with online classes.▶As the current bar exam pass rate is at 50%, there is a concern that additional quotas will produce a ‘Byeon-si-chan’.▶The lawyer market is still saturated enough. This is the argument.

In 2015, the Democratic Party’s camp was the first member of the New Political Democratic Association (predecessor to the Democratic Party) to raise the claim of the KTU law school introduction. As suspicion of external pressure for relief from his son’s failure in law school arose,’Don School’ and’Gold Spoon Law School’ controversy was dated. At the time, Rep. Shin said the accusation against him was “an attack from the judicial examiner’s side,” and “my belief is law school reinforcement theory. It is said that Korea Telecom is making a law school, but it is desirable.” The introduction of the KNOU law school, which had been hidden, was fully reflected in the Democratic Party’s pledge ahead of the last general election, and the situation in which “unfairness of opportunity” emerged as a hot topic in the wake of the motherland crisis became a catalyst.

However, even within the party, it is pointed out that the reality of the bill is inferior, centering on lawmakers who were former lawyers. Currently, there are 30 lawmakers in the Democratic Party. A lawmaker in the Chungcheong area said in a call on the 14th, “The purpose is good, but it is not easy to study law while watching TV in reality. Contrary to the rosy outlook, only the romantics can be nurtured more.”

Of the 10 co-sponsors of this bill, there is no member of the Legal Judicial Council, and only one (Rep. Song Young-gil) was a legal person. One judiciary said, “The establishment of KNOU law school is a matter that requires careful examination of various situations and interests.” “The judiciary has never discussed this issue.”He said. That’s why some of the legal profession says, “Isn’t Congressman Jung, who was from a non-law club, carrying a commission?” (a private university law school professor who requested anonymously).

The insistence on the introduction of KNOU law school is rather stimulating the strabismus rehabilitation theory that has faded. A former prosecutor, Democratic Party lawmaker, said, “If you want to be for the economically weak, it is the law to preserve some of the bar exam rather than the law school of Korea National Communications University.” It is referring to the data from last year’s national audit that 51.4% of the 25 law school freshmen nationwide in 2020 were children of high-income families (income decile 9 and 10). A member of the prosecutor who was a member of the People’s Power “When the Roh Moo-hyun administration, when law school was first introduced, there was a lot of opposition from the legal profession. It was said to discuss whether the law school is effective as a hierarchical ladder rather than sashimi, but public opinion was all inclined in front of the logic of’keeping the rice bowl of the lawmaker’s cartel’. Insisted.
