I Became a Law School Genius – 25



I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 25

‘The Constitutional Court’ was a middle-aged professor with a short stature.

He appeared in the classroom exactly 7 minutes after the class started and suddenly blurted out with a grumpy expression on his face.

“I am a horse.”

A gruff voice echoed through the classroom.

“I really don’t like the current state of legal education.”

‘Oh my god here we go again.’

“Let me ask you just one question. Do you know how our country’s laws are made? Number 3. Go Tae-kyung.”

“Representing the collective will of the people….”

“Ah. That’s a general theory. “The law of this country the law of this country.”

The Constitutional Court lost its temper.

“It was all copied. They copied German law and copied Japanese law. Ugh? In the first place there is no basis for legal discussion. Judges are a group of people who just memorize things so they don’t even know the law and make decisions as they see fit. very.”

correction.

Also it was not at the starting level.

Today the venom was even stronger than usual.

“Germany and France are different. Interacting with social reality for hundreds of years. “There is a history of legal development.”

Hmm he cleared his throat and cleared his throat.

It was a signal to start in earnest.

“To fundamentally understand legal principles you must study legal history and be able to examine everything from Roman law to modern German and French law and our legal system from a comparative legal perspective.”

Then the Constitutional Court rattled off the names of all kinds of prominent foreign legal scholars.

Savigny Kaufmann Radbruch Schmitt….

“Don’t just hold precedent as a gold standard. Last class there was a student who came to question whether the Supreme Court precedent was different from what the professor explained. “I am right and the Supreme Court is wrong!”

aha. There was a reason why you were so angry today.

“…Is it okay to say something like that? “The Supreme Court is wrong and you are right.”

Hanseol whispered next to me.

“well. But it’s not something that can be dismissed as nonsense.”

In fact even though it may seem like an old man the words spoken by the Constitutional Court were not at all worthless.

In academia he was an excellent researcher who wrote numerous papers and showed a wide range of activities.

Just because legal scholars say things that are different from precedents they cannot all be dismissed as idle talk.

The world continues to change and social common sense and moral norms also fluctuate.

Abortion once considered a natural sin has now been ruled unconstitutional.

In situations where the existing position must be overturned at such a decisive moment of change the materials that judges and trial researchers refer to are the legal theories studied by legal scholars.

“Someday a new precedent may be established that follows our Constitutional Court’s minority theory.”

“Uhm….”

Then it will be a brilliant achievement that will decorate the tower of academic achievements he has built and the Constitutional Court will be able to brag about it during lectures.

‘But that’s what it is.’

We who were taking the class were not academic researchers.

I wasn’t even a graduate student pursuing the professor’s research.

Although the official name of the law school is ‘Law School’ aren’t the two letters ‘specialization’ written in it?

A professional educational institution that trains professionals.

Our goal is to pass the exam and become a professional.

The problem was that the test answers and grading rubric were written based on precedents.

This is because it becomes a clean problem without controversy over wrong answers.

It was not for nothing that the phrase ‘if there is a dispute it will be governed by precedent’ was inserted into each multiple-choice question.

Of course it is important to know the general legal principles behind the issue.

However it was more important to know the conclusions of the precedents that connected this.

Because that determines whether or not you pass the exam.

Therefore it was necessary to achieve more in-depth research or secure expertise through practical experience rather than in the classroom.

However academic professors were often unaware of this fact.

‘I don’t know. Actually I know but I might be ignoring it.’

“I know that precedents appear on exams and serve as grading criteria. However if you only focus on precedents as if you were memorizing the answers you will never be a good lawyer even if you pass the exam. Did you understand? Number 24 Yoo Taewoon!”

“Uh uh… but aren’t you a lawyer?”

“Cough what what!”

The Constitutional Court was momentarily shaken by Yoo Taewoon’s innocent question.

In fact Yoo Tae-woon may have said it without much thought.

However to this self-respecting legal scholar it may have seemed ironic that a person who is not even a good lawyer would talk about a good lawyer.

‘Now that I think about it that nobleman when he was young gave up on taking the bar exam and went to study in Germany.’

If so it would be like pouring salt on a painful wound.

“This profit…!”

Hanseol let out a small laugh at the red-faced face of the Constitutional Court.

Looking around I saw that everyone was holding back their laughter probably because they felt sorry for being punched by that old man.

“The progress is coming! “Turn to page 64!”

It was a lecture given by the Constitutional Court which has always been notorious but today was especially difficult.

Sometimes he lined up theories from Western legal scholars that weren’t even in the lecture and sometimes he got obsessed with a specific concept and talked about it for an entire hour.

When the lecture was over everyone was exhausted and slumped on their desks.

“I’m in big trouble… How can I study this subject?”

Hanseol muttered in a tired voice.

“To prepare for the bar exam you have to do it separately by looking at the test results. “Is there anything else?”

“My body is the problem. “Because the lectures are like that I have no idea what to study.”

“We collect and manage exam questions submitted by the student council. “Why don’t you at least look at that?”

“Oh there was that.”

Hanseol opened his smartphone and opened the database provided by the student council.

Then in the folder with the names of all the subjects listed I found the title Constitution I and clicked on it.

“What is this?”

But Hanseol looked at the screen and muttered in despair.

I popped my head in to see what was going on and was immediately able to understand her reaction.

[Question 1. Review two or more comparative jurisprudential laws of Korea and Germany regarding fundamental rights under the Constitution and criticize the Constitutional Court precedent below. (200 points)]

oh my god. What is this?

“…Should I withdraw from the course?”

“calm down. “I can’t withdraw because this is a required major.”

An essay-type question similar to a Joseon Dynasty civil service examination suddenly appeared.

And what kind of order is it to use German legislative examples when learning about our country’s laws and taking exams?

Students around us who heard our conversation opened their smartphones one by one covered their heads and made groaning noises.

No matter how smart the Korean University law school students were there was no solution to the urge to study other countries’ laws.

But let’s change our perspective and think about it.

It’s an exam that leaves everyone in a daze and has no way to prepare.

‘In other words it is an opportunity to easily get a high score as long as you prepare properly.’

“Hanseol. “It is a temporary alliance.”

“?”

“There is a strategy to do well on the exam given by the Constitutional Court. But I need your help to make it happen.”

“…Strategy? “In subjects like this?”

Hanseol looked skeptical but quickly nodded.

“okay. “What should I do?”

“Oh you agree pretty quickly.”

“I don’t know what to do on my own anyway… Whenever I’ve followed your suggestions the results have always been good.”

Han Seol smiled slightly.

“It’s so amazing. “When I first ended up in the same group as you it felt like my whole world was falling apart but now I feel like no matter what challenges I face if I have you I can somehow figure things out.”

‘…You’re saying all these embarrassing things.’

It didn’t feel too bad.

It is always a rewarding experience to be recognized and trusted for the results of the work I have done.

In particular there was greater value in the trust received from an outstanding person like Han Seol.

I muttered cleared my throat cleared the awkward atmosphere and then opened my mouth.

“First we need to gather people. At first glance I think six people would be perfect.”

“Six people?”

“see. me. you. Haru. If you call Taewoon Yoo he’ll probably come. How can we recruit just two more people?

As I lack network I cannot gather people.

As my performance in free-ro and what happened at the last legal clinic spread the number of people who doubted my skills decreased significantly.

But there were still far fewer people who even trusted my personality.

The other day I was walking down the hallway without thinking and every member of the group I made eye contact with was secretly avoiding me.

Among them was Bae Hyun-joong who completely broke things for me.

‘Even if it’s him why are the other guys still like that?’

“but.”

Hanseol shook his head.

“Even if I say that I am not the Park Yoo-seung of the past no one will believe me. “My classmates from undergrad asked me if I had any weaknesses.”

“I heard it too. “Sounds like that.”

Haru suddenly appeared and intervened.

“They said they were telling you in case you didn’t know because you are from another department and that Park Yoo-seung is a dangerous person. “If you are being tricked run away quickly.”

‘These kids…’

I thought that if my skills were recognized for my growth my image would naturally improve.

It seems that the rumors about Park Yoo-seung are changing from a bastard living his life to a cunning villain who approaches talented women and takes advantage of them.

Maybe he was just assuming that was the secret to his rapid growth in skills.

“Anyway that’s why I want you to gather people.”

Hanseol served as a department representative during his undergraduate years and also served as club president.

How did you manage your interpersonal relationships so well while studying so hard every day?

To this extent it could be said with certainty that there is no one better than Hanseol when it comes to recruiting personnel.

“Okay leave it to me.”

A willing consent was given.

‘That’s it.’

No matter how much of the country was attached with Han Seol’s reputation and trustworthiness he would have been able to somehow save at least two people.

Of course whether the applicants were good enough to be liked was a separate question.

But now was not the time to choose between cold and hot food.

It was a situation where we had to be very grateful if anyone came as the one o’clock hour was urgent.

But I soon realized that I had made a huge mistake.

* * *

“hey.”

“Huh?”

“What is this situation?”

Two days after that.

I asked pointing to Hanseol’s smartphone screen.

On the screen Hanseol’s mailbox was filled with messages from more than twenty applicants.

[202×0003 This is Go Tae-kyung! Are there still seats for Constitution I study? ㅠㅠ]

[202×0147 This is Han Yu-hwa!]

[202×0091…]

[…]

Each and every one of them was filled with pleas to please pick him out.

“I will do some promotion.”

“I’m not at the level of doing this but this is.”

To be honest I thought they were just recruiting people because they were Hansul.

It seems that the name value of being a senior law school vice president at Hankuk University was much more powerful than I thought.

“V.”

Hanseol stretched out his hand and drew the letter V.

No matter how you look at it that thing went around with Lee Ha-ru and then moved.

Of course it was a good thing. Since I had achieved this level of success I felt like I could choose friends who would listen well and do the job neatly without having to make ambiguous compromises.

‘But there are too many.’

It was like they were going to have to catch me and give me an interview.

I skimmed the screen wondering if I should at least think of a list of candidates in advance.

“uh?”

Then for a moment I rubbed my eyes wondering if I had seen something wrong.

‘what.’

Why is this person here?
