I Became a Law School Genius – 106



I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 108

the next day.

The first round of the Jain Legal Argument Contest has ended.

“Now let’s sum it up.”

I collected the stories with Lee Ha-ru and explained them in preparation for the next round.

“A total of 13 teams advanced to the second round.”

In fact the final round of the legal argument competition was very messy.

It had to be that way.

There are a total of 25 law schools in Korea. Each law school will participate in one team so a total of 25 teams will participate in the finals.

A very ambiguous number.

No matter how you divide it it doesn’t come out neatly.

Inevitably we had to give one team a bye in the first round and proceed to the round of 24 tournament.

But doesn’t that mean 13 teams will advance to the second round?

We had no choice but to give one team a bye again and proceed with the round of 12 tournament.

There are 7 teams remaining in the 3rd round so one team gets a bye.

It is only after the fourth round that four teams remain so the semifinals and finals can be played normally.

It was an abnormal structure in which the team had a bye win three times.

Of course the organizers also prepared various supplementary measures.

A team that has won a bye once will be excluded from the bye draw from the next round.

The teams that played the game are provided with feedback written by the judge to help them improve their skills and balance the gains and losses with the teams that won by default.

Thanks to this the voices of dissatisfaction were not that loud.

“This time there was one more team getting a bye but it didn’t change much.”

I pointed to the spot where the Kyungnam University Law School national team was in the first round bracket.

“Because Chae Song-ha’s team withdrew the opposing team also got a bye. “The rest proceeds the same as previous years.”

“It’s new but your teammates say they’re okay?”

Han Seol asked.

“uh. “They say they are all similar to Chae Song-ha.”

In the first place the Kyungnam University Law School team was a case where all three members competed with a light heart.

Like Chae Song-ha they were devastated when they saw the absurd level of the finals and when Chae Song-ha suggested abstention they said they quickly raised the white flag as if they had been waiting for this moment.

“Anyway there are a total of 13 teams participating in the second round. “But I don’t know who among these will be our next opponent.”

“why?”

“Every round the bracket is created randomly.”

This meant that the winner of game 1 of the first round would not face the winner of game 2.

“therefore….”

I concluded.

“We need to analyze the strength of the rest of the team.”

“Eck.”

They said that we had to take a close look at each of the 12 teams excluding us.

Lee Ha-ru made an open expression of annoyance but it wasn’t as burdensome as he thought.

From the beginning we looked at all 25 teams once during the preliminaries.

“You have to be especially careful with this team.”

I took out my laptop and put it on the desk.

“This place… ah. “Yeonhee University?”

“that’s right.”

Instead of explaining I played the finals video of the Yonhee University Law School national team that I had downloaded in advance on my laptop.

On the screen a young man was smiling confidently and starting to speak.

– The prosecutor said that the defendant’s statement was not credible! Why is that?

He was a guy with a loud voice and high tension. As if in contrast the opposing team responded with a slightly intimidated feeling.

– That’s right… it’s different from other people’s testimony. You see these statements here.

– Your Honor these statements are all illegally collected evidence!

– Huh? What else is that?

– If you look at the first trial record there is a record of Witness A testifying for a completely different purpose on the trial preparation day!

His voice was full as if he was giving a speech.

– In other words this statement was written by the prosecutor unilaterally summoning a witness who had already testified before the judge and inducing him to overturn his existing testimony!

– The right of cross-examination by the defendant and defense attorney must be guaranteed in the testimony of witnesses. A prosecutor cannot secretly take a case and overturn it like this. We can’t do cross-examination right?

– Precedents also use the same argument and if a prosecutor summons a witness and overturns his testimony the affidavit is considered to be illegally collected evidence. The same goes for Witness B and C! Then… voila. All the evidence to refute our defendant’s testimony is gone?

In an instant the core of the other side’s argument collapsed.

Following that mood the young man continued to attack and the contest ended in a one-sided victory for the Yonhee University Law School team.

“what do you think about it?”

Two team members each provided an answer to my question.

“…You’re good.”

“It seems like a bit of a hit.”

There was definitely something that attracted more attention due to the loud voice and tension. But aside from that his skills were basically outstanding.

“What this guy just pointed out is an issue that is difficult to understand if you look closely at the criminal procedure law. “It has a lot of potential.”

A second-year student who had studied enough might have been able to understand.

‘but.’

“this guy. “He’s in the same first year as us.”

“Huh really?”

“okay. Seungsu Hwang first year student at Yonhee University Law School.”

If I had to choose the most threatening opponent in this legal argument competition I would definitely choose this guy named Hwang Seung-su.

‘Although he stood out even from the preliminaries video.’

Actually I was conscious of Hwang Seung-su even before that.

‘This guy… he’s the guy who won the criminal category of this year’s legal argument contest in the original work.’

In the original work the protagonist Shin Seo-jun competed in the civil affairs field. Therefore the detective side was not described in such detail.

However the following year after Shin Seo-jun was promoted to second grade. He takes on the role of ‘guiding’ first-year juniors who are competing in the legal argument competition.

As a result I came into contact with Hwang Seung-su who also supported the team of Yonhee University juniors.

‘He’s someone I can never underestimate.’

Isn’t he the winner of the original world line? Even looking at the contest video he wasn’t just a lucky house thief but a truly talented person.

“He has a high level of understanding of legal principles. Even if we attack the legal aspect of the lawsuit we will defend it well without losing sight of it. “It’s better to let go of the idea of ​​winning comfortably.”

That’s what I concluded.

“What about you guys? “Was there a team that you thought was a bit strong?”

In response to that question Hanseol pointed to the bracket with his finger.

“This team caught my eye.”

“where? ah.”

The words ‘Cheonma University Law School’ were written where her fingertips were pointing. The moment I saw that I also nodded my head automatically.

“Cheonmadae? “I’m good here.”

Chunma University was a local private university. Usually there is a perception that local law schools have relatively low entrance scores but Cheonmadae was a place that could not be judged in that way.

Cheonmadae Law School actively recruited students who had a track record of taking the law exam even if their entrance exam scores were slightly lower.

As a result a large number of students here were experienced or had passed the court administration examination the judiciary examination or the certified public labor attorney examination.

It was said that they were talented people who could never be underestimated.

‘I heard that in the beginning quite a lot of people with bar exam experience were selected.’

Early days of the law school system. The ‘mercenaries’ who were former bar exam takers were nothing short of an asymmetrical force.

This is because excluding those who have already passed the exam and become lawyers they were the group that studied law the most intensely in the country.

Of course some time had passed since the bar exam was abolished. It was no longer difficult to select people with bar exam experience.

However the data and know-how accumulated at the school through excellent seniors remained and Chunma University Law School is maintaining a decent output based on this.

“I heard you are especially good at sending prosecutors and trial researchers?”

“I guess so. “Because both are tests where know-how and data are important.”

The selection process for prosecutors and trial researchers was notorious for the amount of learning and unique question types that were different from other exams taken at law schools.

In a way it was natural.

Starting from the prosecutor’s practice and criminal trial practice which is taken in the second semester of the second year to the main exam which is the final selection process.

All of this was originally something that was studied only after passing the bar exam and entering the Judicial Research and Training Institute.

How bizarrely difficult it must be to have to re-rank the brightest students among the brightest students who have been filtered out.

It was bound to be too difficult a gateway to overcome with skill alone.

Therefore it was very important to receive know-how and shortcuts and sensible approaches that only successful applicants know.

Chunma University Law School collects data left by successful seniors at the school level. Then it is systematically organized and delivered to the next class of candidates.

We only selected people who had already studied law and the results couldn’t have been bad.

‘I’ve never been to a training center so I don’t have that kind of experience…’

We also had a similar system like Jang Yong-hwan’s guidance group.

Still having a system comparable to the best law schools in Korea was already a great thing.

In any case as a representative of such a place the Chunma University Law School team had considerable skills.

Because he had a lot of experience in law it was noticeable that he had a solid foundation.

In addition the power analysis continued for a long time mentioning various teams.

“Phew I think this is enough.”

When I finally said that the sun was already setting and it was getting dark.

“Everyone worked hard. “Let’s take a break and then go back and organize our materials.”

“…at las!”

It was the moment when Lee Haru smiled happily and I stretched out and tried to straighten up my soggy body.

– Knock knock.

Someone knocked on the door of the data room we were in.

“…Who is that?”

“Hmm maybe it was someone sent by the organizer? “We wrote down our names when applying to use the data room so you’ll know that it’s us who are here.”

Hanseol guessed. They said he came because he had something to convey. I thought it made sense so I opened the door.

“You are Park Yu-seung?”

Out of nowhere a bespectacled young man with a sad expression appeared and pretended to be friendly.

“Oh that’s right. “Who are you?”

“this. Look at my mind. “I was so happy to see you that I excused myself.”

Then the young man handed me a business card.

“I am this kind of person.”

[Bang Seung-il Trial Researcher Criminal Division Seoul Central District Court]

“and….”

It was a business card with that written on it.

“He is also the one who created the problem you solved.”
