I Became a Law School Genius – 29



I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 29

“no. But accuracy can’t be guaranteed…”

Seungpil Kim made a fair tackle. It was time for me to step up.

“I can guarantee it. Accuracy.”

I took out a thick folder from my arms.

It was a printed copy of the very paper that was now summarized on the wall.

“Over the past few days I have been reading and analyzing this paper. And what you see here is a summary that I put together myself.”

He took out four or five thin sheets of paper from the top of the folder and waved them.

Seungpil Kim took it and read it. Soon his eyes widened in surprise.

“…I can’t believe it.”

Seungpil Kim was impressed.

“This summary and that program just now… the core of the summary spit out by ‘Nalmeok’ is almost identical. “Most of the content in the text organized by Park Yoo-seung is also included in the document on that screen.”

That means.

“I could use it. This program.”

Seungpil Kim is a reporter.

He was better than anyone else at quickly scanning text and getting an overview.

The judgment he made based on his report was trustworthy.

When the cross-check was done the study members nodded as if they understood.

‘cancer. Of course I should.’

‘Nal-muk’ was a masterpiece that Lee Ha-ru and I completed over several days.

I selected texts that could be used as reference and provided them as data and Haru Lee was in charge of actually doing the fine tuning.

In order to prove the performance of ‘Nalmeok’ I even had to select a paper from the Constitutional Court in advance analyze it myself and even write a summary.

Iharu who works in programming stayed up all night as usual but I also had no choice but to stay up all night for several days.

Showmanship is important.

Even if you create a newspaper article it is difficult to trust and use it unless you prove its effectiveness in front of your eyes.

It was natural to be even more careful especially since I was using it for an internal exam that was directly related to my career path.

This is why the verification process was necessary even if it took a little effort.

“Click.”

Lee Haru pressed the buttons one after another.

The remaining papers were selected one after another and one by one they were turned into shallow summaries.

“…This is literally eating me.”

Yoo Taewoon stuck his tongue out.

“It’s worth the name.”

Lee Haru was proud and I added with momentum.

“Now you know what you have to do right? From now on the six of us will each take 2 copies of these 12 summaries and study them.”

Even if it is a summary it feels a bit overwhelming to read all 12 pages from the beginning.

However it is a different story if each person studies only two pages and then explains what they understand to each other.

Reading a text you understand is much faster than reading a text you have never seen before.

It becomes easier to read it two or three times.

In this way the effort required to draft the Constitution can be minimized and the number of readings can be increased to engrave it in memory.

“There is no need to read hundreds of pages of lecture notes or thick papers.”

“Two tickets per person… Yes at this rate I can do it without any effort at all.”

Seungpil Kim and Seol Han also nodded.

“As expected of you Park Yu-seung! “It’s the perfect Yongin liquor!”

“What?”

“Through Hanseol I gathered people to share the work hired Lee Ha-ru compressed the amount of study into a program and had the results verified by Seungpil Kim. “The ability to place and manage people in the right place… As expected of you.”

“stop. Please go there.”

Yu Ye-seul once again expressed strange delusions alone.

What was even more shocking was that even Kim Seung-pil was nodding his head with a knowing expression.

“…Let’s distribute the summary.”

Feeling embarrassed I chose the most difficult and annoying topic and threw it to Yu Ye-seul and Kim Seung-pil.

After finishing distributing the remaining summaries it was time to leave.

‘I almost forgot.’

“Oh and Seungpil Kim please stay for a moment. “I have a place for you to go with.”

“yes…?”

* * *

“Nice to meet you Oh Ki-tae.”

I bowed lightly to Oh Ki-tae a client at the Legal Clinic.

The person I met in person Oh Ki-tae was a middle-aged man with a stocky physique and wearing shabby work clothes.

“This is Seungpil Kim who will be helping you with today’s work. “He is my law school classmate.”

“Uh ah yes! i look forward to!”

In response to Oh Ki-tae’s greeting Kim Seung-pil asked in a low voice.

“Who is this person?”

“Now that I think about it Mr. Seungpil Kim did not participate in the Legal Clinic. “I have sent you a compilation of materials so please read them.”

Seungpil Kim checked the case summary I sent him on his smartphone.

It was the same incident in which Oh Ki-tae’s father suffered a fall accident at a nursing home.

Kim Seung-pil’s eyes narrowed as he scanned the screen.

“I know what you’re thinking.”

I nodded slightly.

“Mr. Oh Ki-tae. How are things going since then?”

“Oh don’t say anything. That dark-hearted director is the one!”

Oh Ki-tae seemed to think that this was the time and burst out in anger.

“Why are you telling me that if I have something to say I should do it in court?”

As previously confirmed the reason Oh Ki-tae’s father suffered a fall accident was because the caregiver had messed with the wheels of the walker.

Oh Ki-tae met the care worker separately and received a confessional statement.

The problem was that the nursing home refused to pay compensation based on user responsibility and maintained the attitude that if they really wanted to get something they would fight in court.

However Oh Ki-tae does not have the strength to fight a lengthy legal battle.

Even though I felt embarrassed I couldn’t help but stamp my feet.

“To be honest I just want to go to court and get hit. But since I have a living to make right now… it is not feasible to use a lawyer.”

“I understand.”

I comforted Oh Ki-tae.

“Actually I made an appointment today to talk with the director of the nursing home regarding Mr. Oh Ki-tae’s case. “That’s why I called Oh Ki-tae.”

“How? “When I call that guy he just snorts and hangs up…”

It’s not like I had any special talents.

– This is Korea University Law School Legal Clinic. I have something to tell you about an unfortunate accident that occurred at your nursing home.

Well when I brought up my affiliation they only agreed to an awkward meeting over there.

After all a person has a worthy title and must be looked at.

Hankuk University Law School? Legal Clinic? For some reason doesn’t it feel like something very annoying and headache will happen if you ignore it?

“Anyway let’s go.”

When we arrived at the nursing home in question we were taken straight to the director’s office.

A man with a bald head and a protruding belly stuck his head out from behind the director’s name plate.

“Well I don’t know much about it.”

When the story about the incident came up the director quickly lost his cool.

“We are following all the safety rules that nursing facilities must follow. “It makes no sense to take responsibility for even the deviations of individual employees.”

“no. “You have to take responsibility.”

I said clearly.

“Even if it is a mistake committed by an employee personally if it falls within the category of job behavior in a broad sense the employer is held responsible.”

Even the precedent interprets this concept of ‘category of official conduct’ extremely broadly.

For example let’s say a superior assaults or sexually harasses a subordinate at a company.

It is clear just by looking at it that sexual harassment or assault is not an act included or related to ‘job’ in any sense.

However if user responsibility is denied for this reason it becomes virtually impossible for the victim to hold the company responsible instead of the perpetrator.

In the end the user responsibility regulations that were created for the purpose of protecting victims are becoming meaningless.

For this reason precedents have acknowledged the establishment of user liability even in cases such as those mentioned above by comprehensively considering the legislative intent and the circumstances surrounding the case.

“Moreover there is ample scope to consider managing walkers and maintaining them in a safe condition as part of the duties that nursing care workers normally perform. “As an employer the director is responsible for this incident.”

“…Ha this is true.”

The director sighed as if he was annoyed.

“If you like to follow the law so much why don’t you go to court and file a formal lawsuit? “Why do you keep coming and bothering me?”

“Going through court procedures takes time and money. It will be a cumbersome and wasteful process for both us and the director. Rather it is better to resolve matters through agreement….”

“pizza? “No no.”

The director raised the corner of his mouth in a mean manner.

“I don’t care. What’s left anyway is time and money. If you want to sue do it. “Aren’t you the one over there who is having a hard time because the lawsuit is burdensome?”

“This bastard is so incompetent!”

Oh Ki-tae in tears stepped forward and Kim Seung-pil caught him and stopped him.

Certainly the director of the nursing home may have had a rotten conscience but he was not stupid.

He clearly saw that the reason we were trying to compromise was because of the client’s circumstances.

“You bastard!”

“What if you’re tired? What can you do? “When I looked at the guardianship document I submitted at the time they said I was a security guard somewhere. Do you think you would have time to go to court because you were working shifts?”

When Oh Ki-tae expressed his anger the director responded with ridicule.

I said quietly as I watched that happen.

“I will inform the media.”

“…what?”

“Nursing homes must give trust to residents’ families. “No one would be crazy enough to entrust their precious family to an organization that is unable to prevent or take responsibility for the deviation of its guardian.”

“Are you threatening me now? “Don’t you know this is defamation?”

“Article 310 of the Criminal Code. “If the act is a true fact and is solely for the public interest no punishment shall be imposed.”

This is something that was covered earlier in Professor Yong-Hwan Jang’s class.

“Spreading the truth about poorly managed nursing facilities is a beneficial act that promotes the public welfare of countless elderly people and their families.”

“profit…!”

“But if the director is willing to do his duty then such ‘sloppyness’ will never have existed in the first place and I will have no reason to expose it.”

Saying that you will expose the truth if you do not agree to an agreement can be a threat.

However if you want to make your mistakes known for the public good it is another story to give you one last chance to correct them before doing so.

It may sound like a play on words but isn’t it really different?

“ha ha ha.”

The director of the nursing home whose face was bright red eventually burst out laughing.

“Student over there. “I think I don’t know much about the world because I just read books and study.”

He spoke in a teaching tone.

“It’s not as easy as saying something to the media. “It’s not like a student just goes to a school with materials and asks them to write an article and then they write it.”

“Then?”

“Do you think journalists are leisurely enough to meet upstarts like students? “It’s not a very hot topic so it’s obvious that it will be buried.”

The nursing home director wiggled his fingers.

“Or something. “Do you have any influential acquaintances who can control the media at will?”

The nursing home director’s thoughts were not without basis.

A nursing care worker injures an elderly resident and the nursing home tries to cover it up.

Although it was a topic that could cause public outrage it was not very provocative.

Accidents like this happen dozens of times a day.

Not all of them could receive public attention.

Of course there was no reason for the media to cover it as news.

Even if the reporters actually come out to cover the story you may be able to cover it up by ‘treating’ them well and sending them away.

‘but.’

“Oh this is it. “I forgot to tell you.”

I pointed to the side with a sly gesture.

“Seungpil Kim. “Please introduce yourself.”

Kim Seung-pil who suddenly took over the baton opened his eyes round but quickly realized my intention and nodded.

“for a moment. Seungpil Kim? “That name is somewhere….”

“hello. This is Kim Seung-pil a social affairs reporter at the Hankook Ilbo. “I am currently taking a temporary leave of absence and studying law at Hankuk University Law School.”

Seungpil Kim took out an old business card from his pocket and handed it to the nursing home director.

“Hankook Ilbo? “No way!”

For a moment the nursing home director’s face became pale.

“You reported on that drug club incident…?”

“At that time my former co-workers contacted me asking if I had any news. After that it seems like they had some fun with the frame of a media company taking the lead in realizing social justice. “There was an order from above to use whatever they could find such as public interest reporting or crime exposure.”

But Seungpil Kim grinned.

“I think I finally found one. “Good news story.”
