I Became a Law School Genius – 21



I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 21

The law school cafeteria was quite deserted on Saturday morning.

It was not so quiet that not even a single male ant was snooping around.

Even if you were a law school student at Hankuk University you had at least a weekend off and unless you were crazy you wouldn’t come to school on your day off.

“You’re eating well student.”

Of course I was crazy.

“Because I really like the gratin here.”

A person who is crazy about gratin.

I diligently spooned and answered the nutritionist.

Usually he just serves the food in silence but today perhaps because he had some free time he started talking.

“Thank you for the delicious meal. “Would you like another bowl?”

“Oh is that okay?”

“then. Anyway not many students are using it today and if there are any leftover materials they all end up having to be thrown away. “Because we can’t feed students food that isn’t fresh.”

“I am grateful.”

Indeed the secret to this taste seems to be a combination of the freshness of the ingredients and the thought of the students.

As I was eating another bowl the woman suddenly sighed.

“Ugh I wish my son’s wife could eat well and be smart like a student.”

“You have a son.”

“It’s better than not having anything. Because your physical energy is weak you make all kinds of mistakes. “This time I couldn’t properly manage the rental house so I ended up losing the deposit.”

“What do you mean?”

Then the nutritionist started complaining.

Her son was an instructor at a fairly famous academy. It was an academy that existed in reality.

In my past life when I was taking college entrance exams I used to receive materials from my friends and study them.

Because my workplace is quite far away from my home I started living alone two years ago and because I tend to get cold a lot I turned on the heating excessively day and night.

As a result the wall material was scratched and a small crack appeared.

Confused he looked into repair work but the company responded that it would be difficult to fill in the repair work because the building was in a special situation.

The answer was that the entire wall had to be torn down and rebuilt.

“Construction like that will cost 8.5 million won.”

It was at that point that the problem arose.

The lease period has ended and the deposit must be returned and the landlord must deduct the entire 8.5 million won from the deposit so the deposit cannot be returned.

“Does it make sense? “They want to take away millions of won worth of deposit just because there is a crack the size of a fingernail in the wall.”

“It doesn’t make sense.”

“We are not a very wealthy family. “When I looked for a lawyer it was like fees and deposits and that’s it… I’m not even sure if I could get my deposit back even if I did.”

“I can take it.”

“huh?”

I added as I continued spooning nonchalantly.

“If repair is impossible the decrease in exchange value is considered ordinary damage. The value of the rented house would not have dropped by 8.5 million won just because there was a light crack in the wall. “You can deduct only the amount reduced and receive a legitimate refund of the remaining deposit.”

“Is that something like that?”

“The problem is since my son has to move immediately is there time to go through legal procedures? For this part I just have to go to court and get a rental registration order.”

After finishing eating I stood up.

“If the lease is registered it’s like advertising to the neighborhood saying ‘This rental house is in the midst of a fight over the deposit.’ This makes it difficult to find new tenants or dispose of the building. In the end the landlord will come first with both hands and feet to return the deposit.”

“Thank you student! “How should I repay this favor?”

“Ah grace.”

If I was already a lawyer I would have been paid for consulting but it would be unseemly for a single test taker to put a price on advice.

It was enough to replace it with a free bowl of gratin.

In addition since I was reviewing the knowledge I had studied by actually applying it it was a benefit in itself.

Memories once recalled like this are almost impossible to forget.

In my past life when I was preparing for the bar exam I used to train by looking for legal issues from various cases published in newspaper articles.

You can trust it because it is a tip from someone who passed the second round.

“It’s because I don’t feel comfortable just passing it over. “Is there anything I can do for you?”

“If that’s true then ah. “How about this?”

Something suddenly occurred to me so I asked the lady for something and the nutritionist nodded willingly.

“I think the student will make a good lawyer.”

Those were the last words left by the nutritionist who had repeatedly said thank you on her way out.

“He’s a good lawyer.”

It wasn’t a bad sound.

Let’s not forget this feeling.

“Okay then I ate a meal.”

I opened my smartphone and checked the tasks at hand.

First of all the midterm exams are just a few weeks away.

The scope of the test itself was not easy but I had already read the basic book.

Now all you have to do is analyze the exam questions you submitted or the professor’s lecture plan to understand the trends in the exam questions.

‘We need to find a way to handle the Legal Clinic case as well.’

The nursing home fall accident case that I encountered at the Legal Clinic last time has now become completely my responsibility.

Professor Choi Seong-cheol was trying to trap me but instead gave me the opportunity to build my performance faster than anyone else.

In fact the client Oh Ki-tae succeeded in contacting the care worker in question.

After a bit of urging he confessed holding back tears that he had touched the walker.

‘The problem is that the guardian doesn’t have money.’

This guy was a person who invested in coins with borrowed money and ended up in debt.

Now my bank account had been confiscated and my monthly salary was being used to pay off my debt.

This means that compensation cannot be received without compensation.

Of course there was no way.

All you have to do is ask the nursing home to take responsibility as a user.

– Article 756 (Employer’s Liability for Compensation) ① A person who uses another person to engage in certain work is liable for damages inflicted by the employee on a third party in connection with the performance of the work.

It was similar to the tort liability of a corporation that we dealt with previously.

The logic is that since your employee did something bad to me you should take responsibility and compensate.

However the nursing home was steadfastly sticking out its flippers.

They say that it is nothing more than a personal guardian’s deviation and that we have no responsibility as we have provided sufficient training and supervision.

– If you want us to compensate you don’t be so annoying and file a formal lawsuit. Shouldn’t we just decide right and wrong in court?

If it goes to litigation ultimately this side will win.

Even in the original case where important evidence disappeared they ultimately won.

But a court battle was out of the question.

For ordinary people who are limited on time and money legal disputes are more burdensome than they can imagine.

Depending on the due date you have to go back and forth to the court several times and prepare dozens or hundreds of documents and submit them on time without fail.

Although it was possible to see the end to the end quickly in most cases it took anywhere from several months to several years.

Oh Ki-tae was a security guard who had to work three shifts and his father was an elderly man still in need of recovery.

It was difficult to drag on such a difficult legal battle against the institution.

‘If possible I wish I had the cards to pressure the nursing home to get an agreement.’

A card similar to the lease registration order given to the son of a nutritionist a while ago.

Unfortunately I couldn’t think of anything right away.

‘Let’s put this matter on hold for now.’

There were more pressing issues than that.

I swiped the screen and opened the message box. The latest message adorning the top.

As soon as I saw it I felt like I couldn’t breathe.

[I have something to talk about so come to my home. I will send you Choi’s article.]

It was a call from Park Yu-seung’s father.

– Sooner or later your brother-in-law will call you.

Did Kang Chang-soo say that on the day of the entrance ceremony? It seemed like that sooner or later would be today.

“Father…”

In the original work Park Yoo-seung’s father Park Geon is depicted as a successful entrepreneur.

He grew his business which started as a small soap factory into a large group encompassing affiliates in all fields and he also had a solid marital background by marrying the daughter of a prominent legal family.

In this worldview it was safe to say that there was no one who did not know Park Geon and the ‘Yuseong Group’ he created.

Since he is a man who knows no failure he also has high expectations for his children.

Park Yoo-seung who could not fulfill this requirement has been despised by his father since he was young. I remember the story being that the more it went on the more crooked and misdirected it became.

For some reason for an extra that only appears in the beginning the background setting seems quite solid.

There is no particular reason.

This is because long after Park Yoo-seung’s exit the entire Park Geon family appears once more intertwined with Congressman Jeong the main villain of the latter half of the film and taking on the role of downfall.

“What is there to talk about?”

In the original there was no way to know because around this time Park Yoo-seung was kicked out for making a fuss.

I didn’t really want to know. Can’t I just leave him alone and study quietly like this?

“…Still I guess I have to go.”

Although I was living almost like a stranger my tuition and living expenses were all paid out of the money Park Geon gave me.

It would have been difficult if they were looked upon with hate and support was cut off.

In fact considering Park Yoo-seung’s actions so far it wouldn’t be surprising if the reason for calling him this time was to tell him to give up his money and get out of the way because he didn’t want to see him anymore.

That won’t work.

At this point it seemed like it would be a good idea to raise Park Yoo-seung’s stock price which was already at rock bottom.

The name of the operation Our Bastard has changed.

First let’s start with that person ‘Kisa Choi.’ To overthrow a general you have to capture the soldiers first.

People are not rewritten.

Humans are like delicately made pottery they can be broken but cannot be repaired.

It was something that an elderly person I had served for a long time used to say.

In particular Knight Choi clearly remembered that whenever that happened the old man’s deep gaze would turn to the mysterious second master.

“ha….”

That’s why it was a sigh.

Right now Knight Choi was on his way to pick up the second master.

“You were such a warm person when you were young.”

Engineer Choi has been working under the old man since a long time ago when he was running a soap factory.

The old man willingly took in Choi who had suffered a loss in one leg after a minor accident at the factory and hired him as a driver.

Now rather than being a simple driver Choi was more of a trusted confidant who took care of all kinds of small tasks.

Of course I have also been watching the two masters grow up.

The young master who had been giving out ice cream for dessert saying he was having a hard time in the heat became a bastard who was addicted to alcohol and entertainment and was prone to verbal abuse.

Driver Choi felt that his foot on the accelerator had become unusually heavy.

Still Knight Choi has not yet been able to let go of his attachment to the second master’s conversion saying that he is a good person by nature and that he is the old man’s son.

But even that was slowly reaching its limit.

‘Is it really impossible to change people?’

These days I often feel skeptical about such thoughts. Of course I couldn’t refuse the job.

Driver Choi had a daughter who was just taking the entrance exam and considering her child studying day and night he had to endure a lot of humiliation.

Just after arriving at the apartment where the second master lives.

That was the moment when Driver Choi closed his eyes and opened the car door wondering what kind of harsh noise he would hear today.

“You worked hard to come this far Driver Choi. “Take it here.”

“?”

“I heard that your daughter is taking the CSAT this year. “I know studying will be hard so please tell me to eat these snacks and cheer up.”

Suddenly a tear fell from Knight Choi’s hardened eyes.
