I Became a Law School Genius – 52

I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 52
The final of the preliminary round of the legal argument contest. The day of victory has arrived.
“let’s go. “Are you ready?”
“Ugh I’m kind of nervous….”
“It’s the final it’s just the same game as before. You’ve done well. Just do what you do.”
“still. Your opponent in the finals this time is him. “I heard that he came here while investigating as a police officer in his second year.”
“Well he’s a difficult opponent.”
I nodded.
It was like having a retired national team member appear at a youth soccer tournament.
For the first time in his life Han Seol lost his top spot to Shin Seo Joon which left him traumatized by his police academy background.
Even taking that aside it was clear that it would not be an easy match.
“Do you think we are picky enough in the eyes of others?”
Lee Haru said as if throwing something out.
“A senior who regained first place from the vice president of Korea University Law School in two months. And the AI developed by this body a programming super genius.”
Stretch out your small body proudly.
“Where else can I go and see a dream team like this?”
When I heard it it was true.
In terms of titles these were aspects that we would not be disappointed in no matter where we presented them.
Lee Ha-ru is not at a level to be included here in terms of her legal skills alone but just by developing and maintaining ‘Nal Meok’ she is providing more than one serving.
“Yes that’s right.”
Hanseol also smiled and stroked Lee Haru’s head with his hand as if he was proud.
It seemed like he was encouraged in his own way.
“Now let’s leave quickly. “If you procrastinate any longer you might be disqualified for being late.”
I pushed the two people off their backs saying “Let’s go to sleep.”
“…Why are there so many people?”
When we arrived at the mock court a slightly different scene unfolded than before.

The audience was so packed that it was difficult to find an empty seat.
Originally spectators were allowed to participate in the legal argument competition and could freely watch other teams’ games.
This was the case even for those who did not participate in the competition at all.
However it was very rare to see such a crowd of people.
The reason is simple. Because there is no time.
Hankook University Law School students are those who are ingrained in saving every minute and pouring into their studies.
I couldn’t afford to waste hours watching other people’s performances rather than my own.
In the games that have been played so far there have been only a small number of spectators.
But what on earth is this crowd?
The moot court was crowded as if almost all students had gathered except for the third-year students who were on fire.
The cause could be found among the noisy voices.
“This is a big match that will never be seen again in the history of Korea University Law School.”
“A first-year senior with the blood of a Supreme Court Justice versus a master of criminal practice? I can’t stand this. “You can learn a lot just by watching the game.”
“Minhwan’s face doesn’t show up often in places like this so it’s times like this that I need to show off his skills.”
It seemed like the composition of the finals was rumored around the neighborhood.
Aside from me Goo Min-hwan was a mysterious figure who was difficult to get close to even among second graders so he was bound to attract even more attention.
“But this crowd is a bit much.”
A population so dense that anyone would think it was an idol concert rather than a legal argument contest.
As I turned to take refuge in the participant waiting room a black shadow suddenly appeared over my face.
“…?”
I looked up and saw my opponent for this final. Gu Minhwan was standing in front of me.
‘What kind of human being is this big?’
Park Yoo-seung’s body is also tall well over 180 cm.
But Gu Minhwan was a head taller than that.
Moreover my whole body was so heavy that I felt like I was facing a huge gorilla rather than a person.
In addition to the intimidating feeling of its size a brilliant intelligence was shining in its two torn eyes.
“I watched the game.”
Gu Minhwan opened his mouth.
“yes?”
“The preliminaries you took. “It was worth seeing.”
Is it a compliment? Just as I was about to bow my head and express my gratitude Gu Minhwan added.
“It could be at least a replacement for that guy.”
‘her.’
– Senior Minhwan.
Suddenly Shin Seojun’s explanation crossed my mind.
– …hmm. Have you ever read a martial arts magazine? To put it in one word he is like a martial arts expert.
Did you say that?

– Senior Minhwan’s only interest is victory. They show no interest in anything other than solving difficult problems and beating their opponents in brain battles. I became a police officer because I wanted to enjoy the process of investigating and catching criminals and going to law school was just a matter of looking for a new battlefield.
There are no values that pursue things such as justice truth or worldly success.
Find an opponent worth beating and win.
Koo Min-hwan was a man who moved only for that purpose.
In other words there is no response to those who do not feel worth beating.
That’s why he rarely showed his face.
‘Participating in the legal argument… was it aimed at a confrontation with Shin Seo-jun?’
– I think he hasn’t made up his mind with me yet. I don’t mind that anyway.
I don’t know what happened in the past but I felt like I knew roughly what their relationship was like.
Goo Min-hwan is obsessed with winning against Shin Seo-jun and Shin Seo-jun is not tied down by such matters so he gets out of the situation.
Didn’t he choose civil affairs instead of criminal this time?
It must have been frustrating for Gu Min-hwan.
Then when I saw my game my interest was piqued because of my unexpected skills… It’s understandable if you say that though.
“It’s a substitute.”
There was one thing that needed to be corrected.
“I won against him.”
I got first place in the midterm exam at Hankuk University Law School.
It was my preference to be treated as someone’s replacement.
“and.”
“hmm?”
“Senior you will win too.”
“…!”
* * *
“Then I will count down 10 minutes from now. Let’s take a quick look at the records and decide on our desired position.”
Jang Yong-hwan gave instructions and we received a bundle of documents with a cover that we had now become accustomed to.
Each person decides on a section to read and divides it up.
As they had already played a few games the team was now quite in sync.
“Ah a little while before that.”
We were about to go to our team’s waiting room and analyze the data when Yong-Hwan Jang suddenly stopped us.
“In this case… we will apply a slightly different evaluation standard than before.”
‘What’s happening all of a sudden?’
“This is because it is a case in which various issues are sharply intertwined making it difficult to simply divide it into guilt or innocence. So the prosecution and the defense should not be concerned about the results and should present their ‘best’ arguments from their respective positions. “We will comprehensively evaluate the arguments and conclusions to determine the winner.”
Then let’s start again by counting down 10 minutes. Jang Yong-hwan said that and turned his head away.
“…What are you saying out of nowhere?”
“What is the best argument? “What do you want me to do?”
Hanseol and Lee Haru broke down.
To be honest it wasn’t that I couldn’t understand his feelings but I was in a situation where time was running out.
‘You can’t sit still.’
I approached my team members and placed beans and chestnuts on their foreheads which were creaking in bewilderment.
There was no way to quickly come to his senses other than physical shock.
“Hey.”
“Why are you suddenly hitting Takbam?”
“Is now the time to do that? Meanwhile the 10-minute time limit is ticking by. “If you don’t come to your senses you won’t even be able to understand the outline of these materials.”
I picked up my share of papers.
“Read it first. I can’t interpret that snarky snake’s intention without knowing what kind of incident this is. “Let’s think about it after collecting information.”
“…That’s right. “I guess I was momentarily taken aback by the sudden change in evaluation standards.”
“I’m sorry about Takbam. “In return I will give you the right to hit each of you once this is over.”
“Really? Okay I searched. “Just right.”
‘No how hard are you going to grind…’
A cold sweat broke out as I looked at Lee Ha-ru who was already blowing on his fingers as if he was trying to relieve all the sorrow of being beaten in the game all at once.
I wonder how much it would hurt if I got hit with that bracken hand.
After seeing my team members picking up their respective documents I also turned my attention to my own documents.
[Problem: Examine the guilt of the defendant ‘Lee Eul-nam’.]
‘This time… there is no page like the first trial lawsuit record.’
Like in the first preliminary game it is easy to get an overview if there is a page like a lawsuit record at the front.
At least we can know what crime the defendant was investigated and indicted for and we can organize the facts based on this.
However this case seemed to be in the investigation stage before it had even gone to court or been handed over to the prosecutor.
There were only various investigation reports and evidence documents but there were no documents related to the lawsuit.
‘The trick won’t work. Let’s read the facts first.’
I flipped through the pages.
[Incidence Overview]
Kim Gap-dong is the grandson of victim Mang A. A is 2009.04.17. After being fired from his job as a father he lived at the defendant’s house drank every day and repeatedly committed domestic violence including beating and swearing at the defendant his wife and children.
Meanwhile on November 11 2013 A was walking down the street while drunk in broad daylight hit his chest against a concrete pillar suffered serious trauma and was urgently transported to C Hospital where defendant Lee Eul-nam was working as a doctor.
Person A was diagnosed as being in a vegetative state due to excessive bleeding.
…(omitted)…While continuing life-sustaining treatment for A at the hospital Kim Gap-dong requested defendant Lee Eul-nam who was on duty at the hospital at the time to stop providing life-sustaining treatment and discharge A.
Lee Eul-nam fully explained to Kim Gap-dong that there was a very high possibility that A would die if A stopped receiving life-sustaining treatment but when Kim Gap-dong insisted on being discharged he wrote a memorandum signed by Kim Gap-dong saying “The hospital will not take any responsibility in the future.” After 2014.1.13. A was discharged.
Person A died 5 minutes after discharge.
…(lower)….
‘No this is.’
“…is it euthanasia?”
“I guess so.”
I nodded to Hanseol’s question.
euthanasia.
In particular it is not ‘active euthanasia’ which gives a painless death to a living and breathing person.
It was an issue related to ‘passive euthanasia’ which involves taking treatment equipment from a person who relies on life-sustaining treatment to put an end to their life.
‘You brought up a difficult topic man.’
There have been countless debates about euthanasia and ethical issues continue to be debated without a clear answer.
The absoluteness of the essential value of life.
The right to self-determination that a person has over his or her own life.
There are so many complex ideas that we are afraid to even put anything on the scale.
It wasn’t a question that someone like me could presumptuously tell the right answer to.
However… I am not a philosopher.
He is neither a thinker who studies moral law nor a social activist.
‘Yes a law student.’
What I have to deal with are legal issues and my mission is to point out and weigh criminal actions in light of this country’s strict legal procedures.
‘then.’
There is a correct answer.
“Iharu Hanseol.”
“huh?”
“What is it?”
“I think I know what Jang Yong-hwan meant.”
