    I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 77

    The rules we agreed upon were simple.

    Each person takes turns posing a problem and the other person solves it.

    The one who can no longer answer first loses.

    “I’ll tell you in advance.”

    Baek Seo-yul gritted his teeth.

    “I’m Yeonhee-ro’s senior. “If you plan to ignore me with your mediocre skills…”

    “It’s a coincidence. “Me too.”

    “…Eek.”

    For some reason he seemed particularly proud of his own skills and he seemed to be the top student at the law school over there.

    But are you the only senior? I’m also a senior.

    Then she flinched for a moment as if she was intimidated but immediately shook her head as if to shake off the expression.

    “It’s actually good.”

    It was a voice that sounded like a firm decision.

    “If we win there it’s like winning all over Korea.”

    “It’s good to have a winning mentality.”

    “I’ll see how long I can be that relaxed.”

    ‘The spirit is not bad.’

    In fact there is no particular hostility towards Baek Seo-yul.

    Basically I like people who work hard and are proud of their achievements.

    It was a bit excessive and I wondered what they were doing when they turned their arrows at me but considering the situation it wasn’t so much that I couldn’t understand it.

    On the contrary I deliberately set the fire to encourage him to attack more aggressively so I should say that I am to some extent responsible for Baek Seo-yul’s belligerence.

    ‘okay. If you don’t hit it with all your might it’ll be more difficult.’

    The reason I did something like this. Ultimately that’s because I didn’t like what Jin & Ahn did.

    Wouldn’t it be more comfortable to at least compete properly and divide the superiors and inferiors rather than conforming to the absurdity that is clearly visible to the eye?

    Are you relying on your academic background to make money? I just hate being treated like that.

    Unlike other guys I’m not even the guy who took the entrance exam and got an admission certificate. When I opened my eyes I was just possessed.

    In that case you have no choice but to show your skills.

    “I can never lose…!”

    That’s why I didn’t dislike Baek Seo-yul who had burning determination.

    To be honest I was curious about the skills of students at other law schools.

    Besides isn’t Baek Seo-yul the chief of Yeon-hee? He must have accumulated considerable skills.

    “I’ll go first. “You have no complaints right?”

    “sure.”

    but.

    “aha. “The issue you just mentioned… is asking about the legal principles of quasi-office management.”

    “Oh.”

    Who am I? A person who passed the second round of the bar exam. Senior at Hankuk University Law School.

    Moreover isn’t he a professional expert in problem solving as recognized by the Bar Exam Channel?

    This is me who has solved all kinds of problems learned from law school students across the country.

    As a fellow law school student it is virtually impossible to ask something I don’t know at a first-year level.

    “This is an issue where the return of special profits is problematic because the unfair profits of the non-right holder are greater than the rights holder’s losses. “It doesn’t show up well on exams because there are only theories and no precedents but it seems like there is a professor who is solid in theory.”

    Even in cases where legal principles are an issue that are rarely asked on exams and can only be skimmed over after being studied.

    “It seems like acquisition in good faith is a problem. In this case the item acquired is a ‘cheque’. Unlike the general principle of civil law where acquisition in good faith requires no fault under the Checks Act good faith acquisition of a check is established even if there is negligence on the part of the holder as long as there is no gross negligence.”

    “No matter what how can I do this?”

    “Are you surprised? Well you brought up the issue of the bill of exchange law while the first year students were fighting among themselves. “Be mischievous too.”

    If things were to go as they were there were also problems that went far beyond the scope of what first graders should learn.

    “It was a precedent that a title trustor’s possession of real estate was not grounds for suspending the statute of limitations right? There are many cases where we only remember that part because it is important for the exam but in this matter since there was mandatory approval from the title trustee it should be considered that the statute of limitations has been suspended. “The trap was dug in two stages.”

    “Even this….”

    There is also the problem of falling into a trap that is easy to overlook by tricking it into thinking it is asking about familiar precedents.

    No matter what I asked there was never a case where I couldn’t answer.

    ‘of course. ‘I’ve already seen it all.’

    In particular the questions asked by Baek Seo-yul overlapped a lot with the questions provided by the number one contributor ‘Faithful Believer of Dharmakaya’ who gave me countless valuable materials.

    ‘Because we belong to the same Yonhee University the range of data seems to overlap a bit.’

    I took a quick look at Baek Seo-yul’s thoughts. I thought that by this point I would be stamping my feet because I was so high from the drug.

    “…Wow.”

    But the reaction was a little unexpected.

    “amazing….”

    ‘huh?’

    Baek Seo-yul’s expression was changing from wariness to embarrassment to embarrassment to nervousness and eventually from nervousness to admiration at the sight of me quickly answering questions.

    The eyes which were initially full of hostility now seemed to have a strange hint of respect.

    ‘Did I see it wrong?’

    However as the battle continued her anger and hostility gradually disappeared.

    Before I knew it Baek Seo-yul was listening to my answers with his eyes shining as if he were a student seeking teaching.

    “…that.”

    Eventually when it was my turn to ask the question she raised the white flag.

    “I don’t know. “What is the answer?”

    “Auction based on lien is not an appropriate remedy in the case. In an auction based on the exercise of a third party’s mortgage the de facto right to preferential repayment can be exercised but in this case one must participate in dividends as a general creditor.”

    “Oh such a blind spot…!”

    Baek Seo-yul inadvertently let out an exclamation.

    “Oh no what I just said.”

    Then as if to deny it he hurriedly covered his face and hid his face.

    ‘He was a friend with a fun side.’

    At first Baek Seo-yul was just grinding his teeth like that but at some point he was enjoying this question-and-answer competition itself.

    Aside from his skills there was no doubt that he was a serious law addict like me.

    However it is true that he was already extremely aggressive and felt resentful of the remarks I made to provoke him.

    Therefore it seemed shameful to honestly reveal the joy of learning.

    “I lost this time. “I admit it.”

    Instead victory and defeat were acknowledged without hesitation. It sounded a bit angry but whatever.

    “But I will definitely win next time. “Let’s go intern and wait and see.”

    “Oh are you congratulating me that I will be selected too?”

    “profit…!”

    Baek Seo-yul left the place as if running away.

    “There’s no way the person who beat me couldn’t get an internship at a law firm like this. “If you fail I won’t forgive you.”

    With those words left behind.

    * * *

    These ‘confrontations’ took place sporadically and simultaneously here and there.

    As a result it seemed like about 20% of all seats were replaced.

    It was quite noticeable that new faces I had never seen before were sitting at a shiny table with a Korea University sign.

    On the other hand familiar faces that had been pushed to the corner were also seen frequently.

    If it’s a lot it’s a lot. If it’s a little it’s a small number.

    However one thing seemed certain.

    ‘I think everyone was somewhat satisfied.’

    Of course the guys who were pushed out looked upset but it wasn’t a big deal to worry about.

    “fool. Do you have that?”

    “…Just wait and see when I get back. “I will live in the reading room from 7 a.m. to midnight.”

    The Korean University classmates who succeeded in keeping their positions made fun of them harder than anyone else and while those who were teased gritted their teeth they kept in their hearts a truly healthy pledge to study harder and improve their skills.

    ‘okay. Don’t forget that spirit. ‘Children.’

    It is a competition where you never know when you will fall behind the moment you become complacent.

    If you don’t want to give up your over-inflated self-esteem work even harder.

    At this point I also had a desire to teach it.

    I was able to find Baek Seo-yul who was defeated by me in a far corner.

    She was still sitting at the ugly table but she didn’t seem particularly dissatisfied anymore.

    Since I had a chance to compete against my skills and lost does that mean I will accept the result?

    Rather he was lost in thought as if he was thinking deeply about something other than his seat.

    “It seems like things have been sorted out.”

    Once the commotion passed and it subsided. Someone appeared at the podium and held the microphone.

    It was attorney Seong Jin-tae who handed me a business card a little while ago and introduced himself as a senior attorney at Jin & Ahn.

    “Then… the scheduled time has come. I would like to start an information session on the Jin & Ahn summer practical training recruitment process. “Is that okay?”

    ‘Lawyer Seong Jin-tae….’

    Actually it was a name I remembered.

    This is because in the original work he appeared in the role of persuading Shin Seo-jun who had applied for a summer internship at Jin & Ahn to come to our company.

    Shin Seo-jun showed off his tightrope walking as if he would respond and took advantage of him by asking him various personal ‘favors’.

    In this worldview Jin & Ahn is the industry’s best law firm unrivaled by any other company.

    There were quite a few things that Seong Jin-tae who was in a fairly important position could do.

    It was a well-received episode with a proven cliche of a high-ranking person coveting the main character and being impatient.

    In any case Jin & Ahn’s senior lawyer stepped forward to solve the problem and it was a generous tree that even took care of the probabilities necessary for development.

    ‘Well Shin Seo-jun is not here today…’

    His idea was that he could receive all the necessary information without having to go to a briefing session anyway.

    Of course I agree with this but how can you resist the Myeongjin Hotel buffet?

    ‘I also need to check with this person named Seong Jin-tae.’

    “…I think you might be a little embarrassed by this. “I can’t help but wonder how they are going to select interns at a time when the first semester report card hasn’t even been released yet.”

    The problem is how to contact them.

    Seong Jin-tae voluntarily took charge of the entire internship process in the hopes of selecting a talent that suited his tastes but he was by no means an idle person.

    “I think it’s natural to doubt whether they are selecting people based solely on academic background or personal connections or family background. But don’t worry. “I am here to avoid being selected like that.”

    Jin & Ahn was a law firm where ghost stories were often heard about people coming to work at 10 a.m. and leaving at 4 a.m.

    Of course the number of zeros attached to the salary is different but it is a murderous schedule that is almost reminiscent of me in my previous life.

    “I’m going to give you a simple task.”

    This means that he is not some kind of neighborhood guy and he is not someone who will willingly catch you and give you time when you call him.

    “As those of you who know Jin & An’s main business is not limited to traditional litigation but rather providing advisory and review reports on legal issues to companies and government agencies.”

    ‘oh.’

    I listened for a moment because it seemed like a full-fledged story was coming out.

    “Please prepare such a consultative review report on the issues we announce during the designated period and attach it to the practical training application. “I will tell you in advance… this is a task that cannot be solved with just the knowledge learned in law school.”

    Research. Improvisation.

    Seong Jin-tae explained that those two are the most important abilities for a practicing lawyer and that he will evaluate those points to find talent suitable for the company.

    ‘It’s the same as the original.’

    In fact right now Seong Jin-tae was saying absolutely nonsense.

    ‘Writing an advisory report.’

    Even juniors who have already joined Jin & Ahn and have worked there for 2 or 3 years are given guidance in the area of ​​corporate consulting while always being criticized by seniors.

    This is because it is necessary to investigate and review all kinds of special laws that have never been dealt with in normal times as well as international treaties internal regulations documents of each company and practices and common sense of specific industries.

    If even practicing lawyers do this does it make sense to pass on such homework to law school students who have barely memorized the world of writing?

    Of course we will not demand perfect quality.

    Brilliant ideas research skills to gather as much information as possible in a limited amount of time or at least a talent for writing persuasive sentences.

    If there is even one thing that Seong Jin-tae likes he can be accepted.

    ‘If you think about it it doesn’t mean there is no way.’

    I have thought about this. So that’s not the point you need to worry about.

    How do I create an opportunity to contact Seong Jin-tae…

    ‘huh?’

    “We ask for your generous support from talented ‘talents.’”

    Attorney Seong Jin-tae is already finishing his explanation.

    The moment I pronounced the talent part with unusual emphasis I made eye contact with him who was fixating his gaze firmly on me.
