I Became a Law School Genius – 30



I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 30

It is rare for a single reporter to become so famous throughout the country that even outsiders know about his work.

However the drug club incident caused an uproar throughout the country and Kim Seung-pil was hailed as a hero who single-handedly stood against injustice.

The reported content was the content but Kim Seung-pil was also an amazing penman.

Each and every sentence of the article struck the hearts of the readers and aroused tremendous anger and sympathy.

With his skill he could turn a person who had merely cut in line at a restaurant into the world’s killer… It was described through narration in the original work.

Even now that he has taken a leave of absence there are quite a few people who still remember Seungpil Kim’s name.

The director of this nursing home seemed to be in the same situation.

If you don’t know much I thought I’d show you a scrap article summarizing Kim Seung-pil’s activities at the time but it was fortunate that I was able to skip the annoying process.

The nursing home director’s complexion turned white.

“Ha just close your eyes for once.”

The director suddenly lost his face and knelt down on the floor.

“I ask you to close your eyes. You know who I am. “The public has given me the reputation of being a true reporter who pursues justice but can I just ignore this unpleasant incident?”

‘Hey look at this person.’

When talking to me he seemed reluctant to use that nickname saying it wasn’t true but when it was needed he used it better than anyone else.

The skin on my face wasn’t that thick.

I thought that maybe it was because of this aspect that I was able to succeed as a reporter.

“compensation! “I will compensate you!”

The director became desperate and shouted.

“I will compensate you as you ask so please just keep the driver…!”

“It will be a significant amount.”

I suddenly intervened.

“In the case of illegal acts that cause physical injury the scope of compensation does not end with medical expenses. Mental pain must be settled separately and if you are an employee you must also compensate for lost income during the time you were unable to work due to injury.”

Oh Ki-tae’s father worked as a sanitation worker.

Originally he planned to return to work at the nursing home once the aftereffects of the surgery had healed but a fall accident made it impossible for him to do so.

“Let’s see… if I hit the calculator this is what it will look like.”

I thrust the estimate I had prepared in advance in front of the nursing home director.

He made a whining noise for a moment as if he was angry but he seemed to have gotten into it as soon as he saw Seungpil Kim and obediently accepted the document.

“Could you please reduce the amount a little?”

“Use it.”

“Of course not! “I understand so don’t make that face!”

There was no separate family guard.

However unlike the fox who arbitrarily borrowed the tiger’s authority I was borrowing his face through a fair transaction so I had something to say.

In the end we received a pledge from the director to pay compensation and left the nursing home.

Mr. Oh Ki-tae still in a daze expressed his gratitude.

“I had no idea it would turn out this well… thank you both so much! “At least a little example.”

“Legal Clinic is a volunteer activity. “Students who don’t yet have qualifications cannot receive compensation.”

It is a violation of school rules to receive anything.

I successfully persuaded Oh Ki-tae who seemed to be disappointed and kept recommending various things and returned to school with Kim Seung-pil.

‘Hmm good.’

The results were good.

Of course it would not be possible to say that Kim Seung-pil was accompanied and threatened in the activity report but it would be possible to state that an agreement was reached based on the testimony of the actual perpetrator.

Legal Clinic’s performance scores are qualitative evaluations.

The more complex the case is and the better the client’s requests are met the better the evaluation.

If divided into high middle and low this case’s score is definitely the best.

In addition students with good performance in the first semester will have priority regarding the distribution of counseling cases at the Legal Clinic in the next semester.

This meant that regardless of the difficulty of the incident incidents that touched the core storyline of the original could definitely be avoided.

In that respect it was a very encouraging achievement to point out the blind spots in the first case and bring about a beautiful conclusion of agreement.

There wasn’t even any real loss.

“I got to use it like this once.”

On the way back I spoke to Seungpil Kim.

“yes? “What do you mean?”

“You said three times that you would lend the power of the media. “Isn’t there only two left?”

“Haha what do you mean?”

Seungpil Kim waved his hand as if it was nonsense.

“I didn’t actually publish an article I just went and showed my face. I’m not saying that the power of the media was used for this. “If I did I did my best.”

“…What do you mean?”

“This is a no count.”

So it means that I helped out of pure kindness.

‘older brother…!’

In fact it was quite a worry to waste one of the precious opportunities.

Still once I set foot in the Legal Clinic I made a huge investment to achieve safe results.

In fact since the other party said they would not include it in the calculation it was as if they only benefited from it for free.

‘Of course it can’t be literally free.’

If you take something and wash your mouth thoroughly you will end up getting sick.

If something comes even as a favor something has to go.

This is a kind of debt that must be paid in the future.

Let’s think about that problem little by little.

* * *

Time passed quickly.

The constitutional study quickly fulfilled its purpose.

We outlined the summaries we had read to each other and ended with a brief Q&A.

There is no study method that is more memorable than asking and answering questions.

Now my knowledge of the two summaries that were my part was firmly established in my mind and I had a rough understanding of the remaining ten.

Of course the understanding was not deep enough to match the academic depth of the Constitutional Court.

But it was still okay. Anyway from a student’s perspective all they need to know is enough to write down the answers to the test.

“It’s all thanks to you.”

“…I know.”

Even Lee Ha-ru’s dull eyes became alive.

For her who had been running away from something ever since some kind of ‘failure’ it must have been a very long time since she was recognized as someone who needed her and was useful to her.

I hope this performance is a small turning point for Lee Ha-ru.

Meanwhile preparing for the constitutional exam was not the only thing that needed to be done.

The decision to organize the Constitution with minimal investment was of course to buy time to tackle the vast amount of civil and criminal law.

Through single volume and repeated reading the foundation of civil and criminal law was already laid.

However my grades were not a problem that could be solved by itself.

‘Because the scope is limited.’

National exams such as the civil law exam or the bar exam are basically full-range tests.

Civil law civil procedure law criminal law criminal procedure law administrative law constitutional law and even elective law. Even if you only use one basic book per subject you can build a tower of paper on your desk.

Therefore it is important to understand the broad scope.

As a specific methodology what I chose was a single volume focusing on frequent issues.

On the other hand the internal academic achievement test covers relatively little content.

Simply put the scope of the civil law I subject in this midterm exam ranges from the principle of good faith to representation.

The proportion of the entire civil law will be less than half of half.

‘Of course that alone would be over a hundred pages as a basic book.’

This is Korea University Law School.

A place where the world’s brightest minds gather and compete.

When it comes to studying and exams that is an amount that can be easily digested by those who are well-versed.

Then there are only two ways to secure discrimination.

You can increase the difficulty of the question itself by creating a lot of traps or you can push even minor details into the scoring criteria and make it so that you literally have ‘all’ content crammed into your head.

It was natural that the Korean University Law School professors chose it.

‘Both.’

You must memorize every single word of the text and embody all the ways to apply it.

This was not the time to brag about test preparation or problem-solving skills.

It required an absolute investment of time.

“Whoa….”

At four o’clock in the morning my sighs were scattered low in the empty reading room.

Yesterday starting at 9 a.m. I was glued to my desk except during class time.

My eyes were dim and my head felt heavy as if it would explode.

“It’s like I’ve suddenly returned to my past life.”

The day when my body finally lost its breath.

That day I stayed at work until 4 or 5 in the morning and worked.

In terms of lifestyle it is similar to that time.

Of course it can’t be compared to then.

Because there is a fundamental difference between repeating meaningless labor to pay off debt and studying a subject you like for the sake of your dream.

[Case 23. Timing of attribution of contribution property of incorporated foundation]

“…let’s just solve this and let’s go.”

Anyway I was planning to go to the reading room again at 9 o’clock today.

Since this is an issue that comes up so frequently it’s stuck in my head so let’s wrap it up and solve it lightly and pack my bags.

[I. Problem]

‘The timing of attribution of contribution assets of a foundation’ is not such a difficult issue.

It gets more complicated if you go deeper but the key point is that the two provisions of Articles 48 and 186 of the Civil Act appear to be contradictory in certain situations.

First write this situation clearly at the beginning.

[If you look at Article 186 of the Civil Act the establishment requirement principle is adopted with regard to the effect of changes in real rights but in contrast Article 48 of the Civil Act… (omitted)…]

Next introduce the conflicting theories on the problem situation point out the position of the precedent and then draw a conclusion appropriately following the precedent.

“You would normally think…”

Of course if it is an answer for the bar exam that is enough.

But what I am doing now is preparing for my grades.

Any good law school student at a Korean university can now write that much.

It was obvious that with an ordinary answer you would only get an average score let alone first place.

“After all we have to make a difference.”

It wasn’t that difficult.

[II. theory]

[The view that takes precedence over Article 48 of the Civil Act is that this provision is deemed to fall under the ‘provisions of other laws’ in Article 187 of the Civil Act so registration is not necessary….]

Build it up by adding a plausible argument in advance.

[III. judicial precedent]

[The precedent adopts the so-called ‘relative ownership attribution theory’…]

After clearly revealing the position of the precedent and showing that I am familiar with the precedent.

[IV. Review and conclusion]

[In my opinion ownership is an absolute right and the creation of the concept of relative attribution in precedents runs counter to the legal principle of real rights which is a major principle of our real rights law… (omitted)… The common view based on Article 187 of the Civil Act is the most valid. I think it does. According to this….]

Criticize the precedent’s position based on other core principles of civil law and support the prevailing view.

This is probably the conclusion that will get the highest score.

As far as I know Professor Park Soo-geun who teaches Civil Law I is also a supporter of the view that gives priority to Article 48 which is the common view.

“Is this something we should be thankful to the Constitutional Court for?”

Although not as extreme as the Constitutional Court most professors who studied law have their own opinions on important issues.

Among them there are quite a few who published related papers either to maintain their professorship qualifications or because they had academic interests.

Of course an answer that supports the same view as the professor and presents arguments that the professor evaluates as reasonable will leave a good impression.

As long as a person is grading the subjective answers there cannot be no impact.

In the process of preparing for the Constitutional Court exam it was a great achievement to get the idea to focus on each individual ‘examiner’ or ‘grader’.

It is not possible to know who the grader will be in national exams but if it is a school midterm exam isn’t the target announced?

Satisfied I closed the book went back to my room and fell asleep looking forward to tomorrow.

And the next day.

“how! How can no one!”

I fell asleep during class due to lack of sleep and when I opened my eyes I found Heonjae crying in a hoarse voice.

“At this place the best legal education institution in Korea! “Is there no one who can explain Schmitt’s theory of sovereign dictatorship!”

… for a moment.

That’s the paper I analyzed.
