I Became a Law School Genius – 3



I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 3

Come to think of it in the original work Professor Kang Chang-soo was also a relative of Park Yoo-seung’s mother’s side.

In the early part of the original work Park Yoo-seung believed this and acted even more like An Ha-mu-in.

However Professor Kang always viewed him as a thorn in his side and a risk that could become a stain on the family.

In reality Park Yoo-seung’s jealousy of Shin Seo-jun led to an accident that went too far and he was expelled from Korea University’s Law School.

In order not to follow in the same footsteps as him the answer was to just stay out of sight and study quietly.

As I slowly lowered my head back to the book Professor Chang-soo Kang looked away from me as if he had lost interest.

Eventually he made his way to the podium making the distinctive thud sound of his cane.

“Attention. Pay attention.”

The students who were scattered and chatting all looked at the podium.

“Before we begin the free process in earnest I will briefly provide guidance on the process. For two weeks from now you will take the three basic laws of Constitution Civil and Criminal law classes every day and take a total of two tests.”

The old scholar’s voice was very calm.

“In addition there may be assignments during class that must be solved as a team. “This is a process to determine your current level so please participate with sincerity.”

‘Understand the current level.’ Perhaps that is not the only thing. If I remember correctly….

“In addition the scores for the above-mentioned courses will be added together to apply for regular semester courses and advisor applications. Additionally the final 5th place will be awarded a living scholarship worth 3 million won to encourage outstanding students.”

As expected.

“Separate from the scholarship for students with excellent grades that was announced upon admission the same person may receive it multiple times. “Do you have any questions?”

Scholarship doesn’t matter. Because Park Yoo-seung had a lot of money.

Course registration is also not an important issue.

The Korean University Law School faculty depicted in ‘In the Law School’ were all equipped with the best skills and experience.

There was no chance of major failure even if I took any class given.

In the first place studying was something you had to do on your own.

However applying for an academic advisor was a separate issue.

This is because the influence of your advisor can be significant depending on your desired career path.

For example let’s say there is a student who wants to go to Jin & Ahn the best law firm in Korea.

In that case he should aim for a position as a student under Professor Park Seong-gwang a graduate of Jin & An.

What kind of self-introduction do I need to be selected as an intern for Jin & Ahn?

Also how to solve the tasks assigned during the internship etc.

Professor Park Seong-gwang had accumulated a lot of know-how and data on Jin & Ahn’s recruitment.

If you want to enter the financial sector after graduation you should find Professor Choi Seong-cheol.

Having worked as an international financial advisory lawyer across Wall Street and domestic securities firms he often arranged for his students to meet current executives in the financial industry.

What if you want to become a prosecutor like me?

Needless to say it is Professor Yong-Hwan Jang.

He is a former chief prosecutor and a master of criminal law who has served as a member of the written exam for prosecutors several times.

The ace of Hankuk University Law School who appointed all of the aspiring prosecutors among his previous mentors as prosecutors without a single exception.

In the original work Shin Seo-jun also became Jang Yong-hwan’s student.

Naturally the competition to become Jang Yong-hwan’s mentor was very fierce.

If I remember correctly I had to score at least in the top 10% of this free-ro course.

It was an extremely difficult task but…

If it were me it would be possible.

If it were me who passed the second round of the bar exam in two years.

I studied every day with bloodshot eyes building a tower on my desk with exam books and professor’s notes.

I can do it as I once chewed swallowed and digested a greater amount of legal knowledge than anyone else here.

It is true that I have forgotten most of it because I have been so busy with work for many years.

However even if knowledge is volatilized the know-how to handle it remains engraved in the brain.

There is no one here who can follow me in how to write an answer sheet and how to think legally.

I was confident that I would be the best here as long as I put in enough time and effort to replenish what I had forgotten.

“I don’t think there is one. great. Now let’s take the first test. “Didn’t the notice specify that each person must bring their own writing utensil?”

The students’ faces froze at Professor Noh’s bombshell declaration.

A murmur spread as people wondered if they had just heard something wrong.

“That professor?”

“What about students?”

“It’s a cold rumor.”

Han Seol the second chair also looked very embarrassed.

“Student Hanseol. “Do you have any questions?”

“Is it true that you said this is a test?”

“That’s right?”

“The notice we received says that today’s schedule will be a light orientation. Taking a test suddenly is a bit…”

In fact even if Hanseol took the test now he was at a considerable advantage.

While other students spent the last winter before entering school with a very light heart she read ‘The Knot of Civil Law’ twice and studied it thoroughly.

“little?”

“I think there could be a problem. “I haven’t officially learned anything at school yet and there hasn’t been any notice telling me to come prepare for the exam…”

However as a principled person she was the type of person who had to correct anything that felt inappropriate even if it meant losing money.

Hanseol’s brazenness without exception was the reason readers found her tiresome and at the same time the reason they could not hate her.

“It’s okay if you don’t take it too seriously.”

However Professor Kang Chang-soo just dismissed it that way.

“The term ‘light orientation’ is not a lie. “The law school life you will face in the future consists of endless test evaluations practical training and presentation competitions.”

“but….”

“In some ways the exam can be seen as the most accurate orientation to law school.”

Professor Noh declared again.

“Don’t feel pressured just look at it with ease. “In any case today’s test only accounts for 10% of the total score in the free trial.”

Come on let’s get started.

At the sound of that voice the administrative office staff rushed out to seat the students in their seats and distributed test papers and answer sheets.

Let’s calm down.

My current legal skills are not much different from the motor skills of a patient who has just woken up from a coma and is training to walk.

I don’t plan on taking the test half-heartedly but my goal today is to check my position and decide on a direction for my future studies.

Excessive greed is prohibited.

At the same time as I made that promise in my heart

“then. “Let’s get started.”

The first exam at Korea University Law School has finally begun.

* * *

‘There are many excellent students this year.’

This was the conclusion made by Professor Chang-soo Kang who was walking around the test site.

Although he was scared at the opening ceremony saying that they were the group behind Kang Chang-soo also knew well that he couldn’t expect much from freshmen who hadn’t even entered school yet.

In the first place wasn’t the law school system itself created to train applicants with various majors and experiences other than law to become lawyers?

Of course it is true that many law schools give some preference to those with legal experience through document screening.

Even at Korea University Law School many of the bar exam takers were selected in the early stages.

But now many young bright and potential students are being selected again.

Therefore the reason for taking the test at this point was not because I wanted to see perfect answers.

The purpose was to check whether the students had prepared for the exam during vacation and were able to adapt to an unfamiliar test and provide answers.

‘But this student is different.’

What Kang Chang-soo was watching was Shin Seo-jun the head of admissions solving a problem.

In this test we intentionally did not ask questions that could only be solved by knowing specific precedents.

Instead it focuses on problems with clear factual relationships that can be quickly resolved if general legal principles are accurately understood.

In addition the scope was limited to the content learned in the first semester.

Rather than accepting law as a subject centered on memorization I wanted students to gain confidence that they could solve problems with their own legal mind.

Shin Seo-jun showed that he exactly lived up to the expectations.

As soon as I saw the problem I quickly wrote down the concepts and requirements in the table of contents and applied them to the problem presented to draw a conclusion.

It was a pool that showed that at least the scope covered in the first semester had been mastered.

Professor Kang Chang-soo who was walking among the students stopped in front of Hanseol this time.

‘This student also studied hard.’

While Shin Seo-jun is the type of person who uses legal principles to win Han Seol memorized an overwhelming number of precedents and used them as his weapons.

These problems were all the result of creations that came out of Professor Kang Chang-soo’s mind.

Nevertheless somehow Hanseol found precedents that exactly corresponded to the facts of each question and attached them to the answer.

There were a few mistakes that were noticeable here and there such as lack of understanding of precedents or slight deviations from the point of view but in general the correct conclusions were drawn.

Although it was not enough compared to the two students other students also generally showed good performance.

There were many students who clearly wrote down what they knew even if they could not write well about the parts they had not studied well.

After entering the school it was clear that he could grow as much as he wanted if taught properly.

‘On the other hand that guy…’

Kang Chang-soo’s expression which had been satisfied suddenly hardened.

This was because he arrived next to the seat of his nephew Park Yoo-seung who would be embarrassed to show him anywhere.

First of all the multiple-choice answer sheet was a problem.

The multiple-choice questions in this test are made up of easy questions that you won’t get wrong if you’ve skimmed through the relevant content even once.

Shin Seo-jun chose the correct answers to all the questions in 15 minutes and Han Seol whose strength is memorization showed off his skills by completing the multiple-choice question in 10 minutes.

The other students seemed to have had little difficulty solving the multiple choice questions although they were a little bit stuck probably because they had already studied for at least the first semester of the course.

But what about this guy named Park Yu-seung?

As soon as he saw the question paper he nodded his head once and started flipping through the paper at an incredible speed.

The time it took for him to check the answer to the last question was only 3 minutes.

In other words it means that everything was filmed.

A little while ago I was reading ‘The Knot of Civil Law’ alone during my free time so I was a little excited to see if I had changed my mind.

But it seems that it was just a vain expectation.

There’s no way a guy who can’t even solve easy multiple-choice questions would be good at writing case-type answers.

While he was contemplating whether to turn away Kang Chang-soo decided to wait a little longer thinking that it was his last act for his blood relatives.

‘…hmm?’

But surprisingly Park Yu-seung’s answer was not as bad as expected.

Although I frowned for a long time every time I saw a problem and looked through the law book to find simple information.

However the answers he wrote down were all correct.

Even looking at the table of contents of the answer it was almost perfect.

Even during the bar exam it was rare to find an answer plan with such a neat and logical table of contents.

The only thing that left a bad impression was that the content under the table of contents was written in the author’s own words rather than an accurate representation of theoretical books or precedents.

‘It’s as if someone who studied and mastered law a long time ago forgot the specific expressions and wrote down the answer in his own language.’

But that couldn’t be possible.

Park Yoo-seung whom Kang Chang-soo knew was a guy who had never seriously studied law.

No you probably have no proper experience with anything let alone law.

Admission to Korea University was also the result of being lucky enough to get into a department that was in trouble after repeated exams.

When I went to law school I miraculously got into the law school because I answered 6 questions correctly on the legal aptitude test.

He was a strangely lucky guy.

Then again did we just come up with a plausible answer through luck?

However is it really possible to write a case-type answer that requires a long description rather than a multiple-choice answer based on luck?

It was as if a monkey was allowed to type on a typewriter and a complete translation of Don Quixote came out.

Suddenly Park Yoo-seung who had seen his free time from afar flashed through Professor Kang Chang-soo’s mind again.

The guy who was flipping through the pages frantically with his head down as if he was going to be sucked into the book…

What kind of expression was he making at that time?

‘Oh that’s it.’

Park Yu-seung excitedly turned to the next page of the question paper.

It contained the only ‘trap’ question of this test written by Professor Chang-soo Kang himself.

At first glance it seems like an issue that requires review of fraud by a third party under Article 110 Paragraph 2 of the Civil Act.

However in reality it was an issue that required review of fraud under Article 110 Paragraph 1 considering that the fraudster was not a third party but an agent with implied authority.

This type was covered as a basis only during the bar exam.

It was not an issue to be brought up to prospective freshmen who had not yet entered law school.

Moreover since the other problems were set at a level of difficulty that could be solved as long as one had proper knowledge of the law without twisting the legal principles there was a high possibility that the existence of the trap itself would not be suspected which made it even more vicious.

It wasn’t even a problem that had to be corrected in the first place.

It meant to be confident but not arrogant as there is still a long way to go.

A problem that can never be solved by luck. Park Yoo-seung pointed a ballpoint pen at that.

‘…How do you plan to answer?’

After reading the question Park Yoo-seung let out a quiet exclamation.

and.

‘…What?’

I scribbled four or five lines of answers in one go submitted them to the podium and left the exam room.

Professor Kang Chang-soo hurriedly waved his cane and headed to the podium. Then I quickly found Park Yu-seung’s answer sheet and opened it.

The sentence written clearly on the last line.

– …Considering the circumstances C is not a simple performance assistant or employee but an agent of A. According to precedent the fraudulent act of a person who can be identified with the principal such as an agent does not require that the principal knew or could have known about it so B may cancel the contract in this case based on Article 110 Paragraph 1.

‘That’s the correct answer….’

Only then did Kang Chang-soo remember what kind of expression Park Yoo-seung was making as he looked into the knot of civil law.

The guy was laughing.
