I Became a Law School Genius – 76



I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 76

In other words it was time to do something stupid for the first time in a long time.

“Ah excuse me.”

I smiled slyly and stood up.

“I am Park Yoo-seung a first-year student at Hankuk University Law School. “What is your name?”

Without even saying it out loud this suddenly had some rude meaning.

“…I’m Baek Seo-yul a first-year student at Yonhee University Law School.”

Then Baek Seo-yul seemed to realize his own shame and hesitated a little before answering.

“You were from Yonhee University. But Baek Seo-yul if I didn’t hear it wrong.”

That’s how I started the car.

“I think Mr. Baek Seo-yul claimed a little while ago that we are receiving ‘preferential treatment.’”

“…Then what?”

“What do you mean by privilege?

Baek Seo-yul made a bewildered expression.

“yes?”

“It’s just like I said. “What kind of privilege are we getting?”

“What kind of privilege is that?”

Baek Seo-yul’s tone was as if he was asking the obvious.

“It’s an obvious story you can tell just by looking at this banquet hall.”

“Are you talking about the fact that we provided good seats and a great setting at Hankuk University Law School but did not do so at other law schools?”

“Other than that what else?”

“I see.”

I shrugged my shoulders in an exaggerated motion and made a gesture as if I had no idea.

“But what’s the problem with that?”

“…yes?”

“Jin & An is a private company. It is different from public institutions that have an obligation to treat everyone equally. “They have the right to give preferential treatment to the more skilled and capable people they want to hire.”

Our Korean University law school students are truly talented individuals.

So it was a line that implied the premise that there was no problem.

“…What?”

Baek Seo-yul noticed this and became angry.

“Did you say you have skills now?”

“Yes I did.”

“You said it well.”

It was exactly the reaction I wanted.

“Skill. is it so. If we had been treated differently based on our skills we would have understood. “But they’re already treating me like this without even giving me a chance to show off my capabilities.”

“aha. “If the placement had been based on ability I would have submitted even if there was some difference right?”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

“Then it’s a simple problem.”

I suggested.

“Let’s compete based on our skills. Right here right now. “The winners will choose their seats first and the losers will be kicked out to the remaining seats.”

“yes?”

Baek Seo-yul asked blankly at the sudden development.

“They say that if you lose based on skill you will give in. “I have no doubt that Korean University law school students are the most outstanding and talented so they will retain their positions even if they compete based on their skills.”

After saying that I pointed my finger at the other Korean University law school students sitting in their seats.

“You guys are like that too right?”

“…Huh?”

When an arrow came back at them out of nowhere they looked at me with angry expressions.

– Why is it wrong to divide positions based on academic background?

– Anyone who sees it would think that I went to undergraduate school and law school in circles. We came here because we already won the entrance exam and they lost.

I definitely heard that kind of talk going on.

‘Cheeky cocky.’

It is true that they are the group that achieved the highest results in the competition called law school admissions.

But don’t think that’s everything.

In the first place law school admissions tended to evaluate the traces of one’s life so far and were not designed to ask about legal skills per se.

If a student who went to another law school had worked harder he or she might have excelled in law.

In fact many people who graduated from small law schools or law schools located in regional areas often entered public positions that were coveted by many such as prosecutors or trial researchers.

We must not become intoxicated or complacent with the halo that comes with the name Hankook University Law School.

It is also prohibited to assume that the envy pouring in on that sign is natural.

Only those who prove that they are worthy of it by cutting and refining themselves at every moment are eligible to wear the crown.

But for now I hide those thoughts deep in my heart.

Instead I appealed to their arrogance and bloated ego.

“Honestly aren’t you pissed? Preferential treatment given just because it is from a Korean university? “It’s as if they believe they are far superior in terms of their skills.”

Are you going to stay quiet even after hearing that you are a bubble?

“There is no way you are worse than them.”

From the original work our classmates’ pure-bloodism and sense of being the chosen people at Korea University skyrocketed.

It is the ultimate dogma that those who were filtered out and those who survived through the sieve are different.

Needless to say the basis for this is the fact that he passed the difficult entrance exam and the name Hankook University itself given as a reward.

“That’s right.”

“It’s natural that we are better than other schools but why is that a privilege?”

“Park Yoo-seung there are times when he says things he likes.”

It’s almost over. Now it’s time to drive the wedge.

“Should we listen to this and remain silent? Let’s show it. Just by taking off the sign and using your skills alone you guys can be easily taken down. “You have that much confidence right?”

“Good Joe! “There’s nothing you can’t do!”

In this atmosphere there was no way anyone would say they wouldn’t do it.

One side has been baked and boiled now it’s the other side.

“Now then Mr. Baek Seo-yul. “You’re not going to run away after challenging yourself with your best skills right?”

“Uh uh…”

Baek Seo-yul’s eyes shook at the sudden development.

It is true that I hoped for an opportunity to be evaluated solely on merit and that I was angry about the injustice of discrimination.

But I wouldn’t have thought they would start a fight like this right away.

“under. “Do you think you can’t do it?”

Of course there was no way Baek Seo-yul would step down.

“great. There’s one hit. “Because I can easily defeat someone like you who only believes in signs and acts arrogantly.”

‘Oh that’s hot.’

This woman also had an unusual ego as she was able to boldly criticize Jin & Ahn who had hired her in the first place.

In fact there were rare people here who did not live with pride in their study skills and skills.

“now! “Attention!”

With the momentum I shouted in a loud voice.

“Anyone who is dissatisfied with the way they were treated today including their seats please come out here. Of course only those who have the confidence to compete with our Hankuk University Law School and win based on their skills. No? “Then you can stay stuck there!”

The provocation caused a brief uproar at Boseong University Law School and Myungryun University Law School.

“…what is happening?”

“Honestly I thought they were the only ones who were given good seats.”

“Would you like to go and give it a try? “Honestly aren’t we going to be outclassed based on our skills?”

‘okay. It has to come out like that.’

I do not have the power to eliminate the academicism that is rampant throughout the legal profession in this country.

It won’t be possible to convince even the senior men at Jin & An let alone the entire legal profession.

However there is no one who can prevent students from changing their seats through free and fair ‘agreement’.

Of course it wouldn’t have any great meaning.

At most the chairs become softer or harder and refreshments to eat and drink during the briefing session come or go.

But at least then it won’t be the result of someone’s one-sided evaluation but something you can achieve or take away based on your own skills.

If so wouldn’t we both be able to understand each other?

“But that’s okay right?”

The last question was directed to Jin & An’s employees.

He froze when what was supposed to be just a matter of appeasing one student who was protesting got out of his hands and started to escalate into a fight between students.

“Oh that’s…”

The employee was sweating.

“I don’t know if it’s something I can talk about in my own words….”

A look that blurs the tail of a horse.

In fact there was no designated seat for each person so it wouldn’t be a problem if students switched seats.

Rather what perplexes him is the conflict that is taking place now.

Should I report this or mediate? That moment when the employee was confused and didn’t know what to do.

“That’s an interesting issue.”

Tap tap tap.

The cheerful sound of shoe footsteps flowed across the ground.

“great. “I give permission.”

“who…?”

When I turned around there was a middle-aged man in a suit with his hair combed back holding out his hand to me.

“Oh I am this kind of person.”

What was held in that hand was a business card.

– Jin & An Joint Law Firm

– Senior lawyer Seong Jin-tae.

‘Oh.’

“This is attorney Seong Jin-tae who is in charge of conducting today’s briefing session. i look forward to.”

* * *

Seong Jin-tae was a unique person in many ways.

Strictly speaking Jin & An is not a law firm.

Unlike other corporations that are divided into partners who receive shares and associates who are employed lawyers Jin & Ahn which takes the form of a ‘joint law firm’ in principle has no hierarchy among lawyers.

Lawyers with less experience are called juniors and lawyers with more experience are called seniors and the salary structure is different. It is a fairly horizontal organization.

Of course that doesn’t mean that a newly hired junior and a senior who has been around for several years have equal say and status.

Right now all kinds of work revolves around seniors who are well-versed in the law.

Even among such seniors Seong Jin-tae was an irreplaceable resource.

Matsubashi Electronics lawsuit filed by victims of Japanese forced conscription.

Private equity fund Loan Planet’s defense.

Consumer representative lawsuit for damage to Sehwa humidifiers.

Major incidents that gave Jin & Ahn images such as ‘an axis of evil that makes anyone win if they have the money’ and ‘a great evil in the legal profession that stands on the side of corporations tramples on consumers and protects traitors.’

Seong Jin-tae was always at the center of the disputes that brought moral criticism and recognition for his overwhelming advocacy skills.

Seong Jin-tae who had accumulated remarkable achievements was a man who rose to a position within Jin & An that no one could ignore.

Every minute and second of Seong Jin-tae’s time is recorded on the time sheet and converted into a huge salary.

This meant that as usual this was not the time to be called to a place like this and give briefing sessions to fresh-faced fresh-faced law school students.

However he declared that he would take this position voluntarily.

‘Jin & Ahn… are rotten.’

Not in a moral sense.

From the perspective of social norms he himself was by no means a clean person.

Therefore what Seong Jin-tae is concerned about is a completely different aspect.

‘There are too many trash people who only waste their salaries.’

He was a thorough meritocrat.

The only thing that matters is how well you do your job.

Seong Jin-tae’s theory was that all other factors including age gender class education and character were useless at least when it came to evaluating a person as a lawyer.

But what is the current situation?

Don’t you think about filtering out applicants based on academic background for fear of customer claims?

In Seong Jin-tae’s opinion there was nothing like that.

All that was needed to do the job well was a bright idea a firm will to put it into practice and the stamina to back it up.

None of these were qualities that could be captured through academic background or academic grades.

Therefore he decided to intervene directly in this recruitment process.

‘I thought it would be a success if I could get five three or even just one guy who met my standards.’

When I got there something really shocking was happening.

‘That guy named Park Yu-seung.’

His skill in dealing with people was not average.

He deliberately provoked a student named Baek Seo-yul and stimulated the pride of Korean University law school students creating a stage from which no one could back down.

There was no fear. Anyway these are the guys who gathered here to hear an explanation about Jin & Ahn’s hiring of interns.

Of course it would be normal to want to avoid being ‘caught’ by causing unnecessary trouble but he created a huge mess without any hesitation.

The purpose… what is it? I don’t know.

What benefit could he gain by doing something like this?

As Seong Jin-tae was pondering he came up with the guess that perhaps this battle of skills itself may have been Park Yoo-seung’s purpose.

It was a guess that was relatively close to the truth.

‘…It’s fun.’

Interest arose in Seong Jin-tae’s eyes.
