I Became a Law School Genius – 107



I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 109

“…’Seoul Club?’”

Hanseol let out an exclamation.

“Well you could say that. “You still use that word.”

‘Seoul Club’ was an abbreviation for trial researchers selected by the Seoul High Court.

They were especially popular among trial researchers because they only worked in courts in Seoul during their three-year term.

‘It doesn’t just mean living in Seoul.’

A large-scale event.

An event involving a business or celebrity that can have a significant social impact.

Such important cases are usually concentrated in Seoul.

Therefore trial researchers in Seoul were able to easily obtain know-how and information about cases that were rarely experienced in other regions.

High-quality personnel with a wealth of extremely valuable and valuable knowledge.

Naturally Seoul clubs who had completed their term were the top human resources recruited by large law firms.

After building a career while being treated so well. The general course is to apply again to become a career judge and return to the court with great brilliance as a judge.

In short it was a position that any law school student would envy.

‘This is especially true if you want to become a judicial researcher like Han Seol.’

“You created the problem we solved?”

“that’s right. Coincidentally the judge I am assisting was chosen to be in charge of answering questions for the legal argument contest. Then we end up being the right fit.”

“aha….”

When I saw Bang Seung-il sighing I couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

‘The great Seoul Club is also a civil servant.’

In the end he couldn’t even make a noise at the instructions of his superior the judge who was a very high-ranking superior.

Hanseol’s eyes also began to contain a feeling of pity mixed with longing.

“Hmm.”

Bang Seung-il must have noticed that and cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed.

“Actually. “I saw the video of your contest.”

“A video of the contest?”

“okay. “I thought it was amazing?”

He said he was sincerely impressed.

“Actually I didn’t create it with the expectation of properly solving that problem. A new technology called VR has been introduced for a long time. “It’s designed so that you won’t be able to find the answer without purpose application and quick wit.”

‘somehow.’

Even though it is a debate competition I thought it required an overly sensitive approach. It was a problem created from the beginning by the test taker who thought he would not be able to solve it.

“…Isn’t this a failure in difficulty control?”

“okay. The judge said that too. “I wonder if it would be okay to pose problems that are no different from real life to kids who are just beginning to study law.”

Bang Seung-il coolly admitted it.

“But you solved it. “I’m talking about the problem where we failed to control the difficulty level.”

The corners of his eyes twitched as if he was amused.

“It definitely took a while. Since it wasn’t a problem that could be solved by everyone working together they probably divided the number of people. Who was in charge of finding evidence? Who is in charge of writing?”

“I was in charge of the VR device.”

“We were in charge of the writing.”

Hanseol and I each answered.

“Ohh.”

Bang Seung-il was impressed.

“He had good sense. By cross-checking the medicine envelope and the doctor’s testimony they find out that the dates do not match and find evidence to prove the original act. “It is a grass that perfectly penetrates my intentions.”

His praise wasn’t just directed at me.

“You guys did a good job too. It must have been written without one person present but the remaining issues were all neatly organized in writing. “Because he had such a solid foundation he was able to trust the team and focus on finding evidence.”

“…thank you.”

After hearing our thanks Bang Seung-il waved his hand.

“What is gratitude? I should be more thankful. Actually I made a bet with the judge on who would get the answer right. “If I had not been careful I would have bought beef for 10 people but thanks to you I saved my wallet.”

‘This human?’

“That’s why I came. “I want to say thank you and also take a look at the faces of my outstanding juniors.”

Someone was fighting with all their might but they ended up making a beef with it?

However even though he was joking as if he was joking Bang Seung-il’s eyes were serious.

“you guys. “I want to pursue public office.”

I had a feeling that the main point would soon come out.

“Yes that’s right.”

“test? “Locklock?”

“I want to be a prosecutor and he wants to be a law clerk.”

After hearing my explanation Bang Seung-il looked at me and Hanseol in turn.

I turned my gaze towards Lee Haru but he shook his head and scurried away. Bang Seung-il also nodded as if he understood.

“Actually I’ve been thinking about it for a while.”

he said

“I was wondering how I could repay my grateful juniors who protected my wallet. “Of all the things I can do for you this would be the best.”

Bang Seung-il handed over the entire bag he was carrying to me.

“Take it.”

“Is this…?”

“These are organized notes I made myself while preparing for the law clerk exam. “We also included all the little know-how such as how to solve record-type problems and how to memorize lists of meaningful precedents.”

‘No what?’

When I looked at him with an angry expression Bang Seung-il grinned.

“Why don’t you like it?”

“That can’t be right.”

It wasn’t that I didn’t like it but rather it was too much of a problem.

‘what? ‘You’re giving me something like this?’

Han Seol standing next to him also had his eyes wide open.

“This is what you used to study law clock….”

“okay.”

I opened the contents and nodded.

“Criminal trial practice materials and civil trial practice materials as well as notes for preparing for the main exam are included in one set.”

Earlier when talking about Chunma University Law School I mentioned how influential the materials left by seniors are in the selection process for public officials.

Tests that are ridiculously large and require concentration and training to the point of being grueling. Moreover the competitors taking on the challenge are also among the top of the top.

No matter how much you complain about the data in a game where the winner is decided by such a narrow margin the craftsman had no choice but to blame the tools.

‘That’s because the people fighting against them are all craftsmen.’

However the secret sauce of someone who was not just a law clerk but also passed the Seoul Club came rolling in.

No matter where you go it won’t be easy to find such good material.

There was no chance like this either.

‘Not to mention Hanseol these materials are valuable to me as an aspiring prosecutor.’

The first step in preparing for public service begins in the second semester of the second year.

Anyone who wants to become a prosecutor must take the ‘Prosecutors’ Practice’ course and submit a grade. If you want to become a law clerk it is ‘criminal trial practice.’

However in reality most people took both subjects at the same time.

Of course not all of them had the bold ambition to aim for the two crowns of prosecutor and law clerk.

‘The two classes and exams complement each other.’

Both prosecution practice and criminal trial practice are subjects that require looking at criminal case records and solving problems. However the direction requested was slightly different.

This is because one side looks at the case through the eyes of the prosecution and the other side looks at it through the eyes of the court.

A gap that can occur when studying only one thing. It is supplemented by listening to the rest together.

If you complete both subjects faithfully you will be able to almost master handling criminal case records by the end of the semester.

I also planned to take both prosecution practice and criminal trial practice in the second semester of my second year.

I would feel overwhelmed by the ridiculous amount of learning but it was for the best anyway.

At that time Bang Seung-il’s organizing notes will become a very reliable guidepost.

‘okay. It’s very valuable material.’

That’s why I don’t even know.

“Why are you giving us something so precious?”

In general things like this were passed on secretly to juniors who were really close to me. It is not for nothing that the legal profession is said to revolve around personal connections.

It was too much of a waste to give it to us strangers.

‘The price of beef? ‘That’s ridiculous.’

There is a person who would pay a lot more money to get this organizing note. There was no way a person as big as Seoul would not know its value.

“what. “Thank you is not an empty word.”

Therefore Bang Seung-il readily acknowledged it.

“In the end yes. “I’m just asking you to look after me later.”

“…?”

“You guys are excellent. I think he has talent and is putting in the hard work to back it up. “I think you are all capable of achieving your goals.”

You as a prosecutor you as a trial researcher. Bang Seung-il adjusted his glasses and continued speaking.

“I’m saying let’s get along since we are both people who entered and will remain in public service.”

There is something quite strange about public service especially in the legal profession.

“Some parts are too principled. “It’s an agenda that can be resolved with just one simple answer but it has to go around and get approval from dozens of people.”

Bang Seung-il frowned as if recalling an actual experience. Perhaps because he was currently employed his voice seemed vivid.

“On the other hand some parts are also sloppy. “He is a classmate of our senior at the training center and with just one word the information that he acted as if he would not teach and the person that he thought he would not be able to meet are resolved in a breeze.”

Therefore Bang Seung-il sighed saying that it is important to have ‘my side’ here and there.

“When you think of personal connections you tend to think of things like illegal collusion or personnel corruption but it’s a problem that goes beyond that. “No matter what you do it will be easy if you have familiar people with you.”

It was a calculation to include the future us on my side.

“That’s right.”

I asked Bang Seung-il back.

“Can I interpret this as saying that you will also be on our side?”

“Haha that’s right. “You’re quick-witted.”

Bang Seung-il held out his hand.

“Even looking at it like this I have quite a promising future. After my term is over I plan to go to a law firm to gain more experience and then come back and aim to be appointed as an experienced judge. “Having someone you know in the courthouse will be good for you in many ways.”

Let’s think about it for a moment.

‘It’s not wrong.’

What Bang Seung-il took was an elite course among the elite. Seoul Club is the envy of everyone. Where is that? Although he said it as if he were complaining it also meant that he had a great deal of trust from the judge since he was able to take charge of presenting the questions at the legal argument contest.

It’s as if the ability has already been proven. There is a high probability that he will become a judge. It was never a bad thing to have a relationship with someone like that.

On the other hand there was little possibility that this would act as a burden or constraint. It is true that the favor given by Bang Seung-il is of considerable value. However it did not go beyond the realm of ‘favor’.

The heavier the coming and going the deeper the binding. It may be unlikely but if Bang Seung-il were to use some kind of means to appoint you to a public position you should refuse outright.

If you get that kind of help you won’t be able to refuse anything you ask for later.

‘But there are few things that can be targeted using this as an excuse.’

At best a little human interaction.

Light cooperation at the level of finding out some information or helping you find someone when you are in your own position later.

Beyond that it is difficult for there to be anything like improper solicitation or collusion. The relationship isn’t strong enough for that to happen. A human relationship that is light but useful enough to not take any risks.

‘He is a shrewd human being.’

They calculated and offered a reward that was not too burdensome but was attractive enough that they would not want to refuse.

He was not only well versed in law but was also a man with a good political mind.

‘I want it.’

I was just planning to study hard and do my best to solve problems.

I have no idea why I keep getting involved with these amazing people.

‘Well anyway… there’s no reason to refuse.’

Valuable data and personal connections were provided free of charge. It was a situation where cheering and shouting that it was a piece of cake wouldn’t be enough.

“i look forward to. “Senior.”

“It’s a shame. “Call me brother.”

I took Bang Seung-il’s extended hand and shook his hand.
