    I Became a Genius Law School Student Episode 97

    Originally the ‘Bar exam channel’ did not upload posts very quickly.

    This is because the absolute number of users is not large in the first place.

    The number of students per academic year at law schools nationwide is 2000.

    So if you look at the total number of students from 1st to 3rd grade there are only about 6000 students.

    Even if we add in all the so-called ‘N test takers’ who are taking the bar exam again and again the population cannot be said to be that large.

    Moreover unlike many other Internet communities aren’t they basically people who have to devote most of their day to studying?

    From the moment they enter school they have been repeatedly warned that they will fail the bar exam if they are not careful.

    There were few people who were big enough to spend all day looking at the Internet while wearing a bomb necklace that would explode in three years.

    However there were times when even the bar exam channel got hot.

    6 8 A mock exam for the bar exam held in October.

    Bar exam in mid-January.

    It’s the season when major law firms and prosecutors and law clerks announce final successful applicants.

    And… another big event in law school life.

    It was the final round of the Jain Legal Argument Contest.

    [Title: Has anyone seen the preliminaries video of the Korea University Legal Argument Contest?]

    [Content: Their civil affairs team is crazy. I heard he was a first year student but he knew everything from litigation law to enforcement law.]

    All preliminary matches for each law school are recorded. It is then uploaded to the materials tab on the competition homepage.

    Although it is not available to the general public you can view the videos by logging into the website and entering your information to verify that you are a law school student.

    [Comment]

    [ㅇㅇ(220.72): I am a second year student and I did not understand what was meant even after watching the video.]

    [ㅇㅇ(38.64): Why would you represent Korea for no reason? Also civil affairs are really tough.]

    As such the story of the competition was becoming a hot topic at this point when the preliminaries videos were released ahead of the finals.

    A prestigious stage hosted by the Supreme Court Court Administration.

    In addition the winner will be given a ticket to take the main civil service exam regardless of his/her academic performance in school. This was the reason why attention was inevitably focused.

    Analysis of competitors from the perspective of students participating in the finals. Furthermore even for ordinary students the battles presented by representatives of each law school in the moot court were in themselves valuable materials that could serve as a reference for study.

    In particular the bulletin board was overflowing with mentions of teams that showed outstanding performances.

    [ㅇㅇ(39.125): Yonhee University civil affairs was also a bit hit there. It was scary to see the plaintiff’s claim being dismissed one by one biting it with venom.]

    [ㅇㅇ (68.78): Gangseo University said that an older brother who looks older is carrying the car. What is it?]

    [ㅇㅇ(165.238): I am Gangseo-ro and he is a former court clerk who passed the court administration exam.]

    [ㅇㅇ(68.78): No the court clerk is foul; Why did someone who is not as good as a current lawyer come to law school?]

    There was also a tendency for people to shrug their shoulders for no reason when they attracted attention by wearing their law school name tags.

    It was similar to the feeling of cheering for a local sports team.

    In particular the bar exam channel was notorious for being a place where students from each law school got into pointless fights about whether my school was better or worse than yours.

    The mainly used basis is output such as the passing rate of the bar exam or the number of people who have passed the law clerk exam for those hired by large law firms.

    As an extension of that the legal argument competition in which teams from law schools across the country compete was also receiving similar attention.

    However among them there was one team that caught everyone’s attention the most.

    [Title: Which bastard said the detective was an empty house?]

    [Content: First-year students are not good at detectives because they are out of the scope of good deeds and second-year students are said to be much easier to become detectives because they are full of idiots who gather to massacre civilians. But what on earth is this!!!!]

    There was a link attached at the bottom of the post.

    It was none other than the address that led to the video of Hankuk University Law School’s criminal team.

    [ㅇㅇ(223.38): Wow haha]

    [ㅇㅇ(118.235): Those who were selected as detectives this year are just expressing their condolences. Good luck.]

    [ㅇㅇ(74.98): What are you making such a fuss about? After all we are all law school students so if you do well how good are you?]

    And a comment added 15 minutes later.

    [ㅇㅇ(74.98): Eom.]

    [ㅇㅇ(74.98): I’m glad I didn’t become a detective.]

    The miraculous change in attitude stimulated someone’s curiosity.

    [Gina (175.223): I didn’t press it but is that team that good?]

    [ㅇㅇ(74.98): ㅇㅇ So good. It was just perfect. Especially the rather sassy person sitting in the middle is ridiculous. I thought the current prosecutor had faked admission and insisted that he was a first-year student.]

    [ㅇㅇ (74.98): I think this person has 100% passed some exam or has experience working in the law field. The ability to extract issues and understanding of legal principles are just different from the supplementary law.]

    [ㅇㅇ (74.98): Doesn’t the team member next to me even know precedents that aren’t on any precedent search site? Haha. I’m a criminal but if there were kids like that sitting on the prosecutor’s table I’d just give up and go to jail begging for leniency.]

    While the other preliminary videos were somewhat interesting topics Hankook University Law School’s criminal team was treated as a complete disaster.

    There were already many people who applied to become a detective believing only the rumor that it was an easy field.

    However when I actually opened the lid I found that not only was there an empty house but there was a monster lurking around that made people say that this guy was an incumbent who faked his way into the school. It was natural for detective applicants to clamor.

    Hankuk University Law School. And Park Yoo-seung the pillar of the detective team.

    Those three letters were vividly engraved in the minds of countless law students who watched the preliminaries video.

    “….”

    And ‘someone’ who was reading it all on the other side of the screen made a decision.

    ‘As expected this person is the only one.’

    * * *

    The day before the first match of the finals. We headed to the Seoul Central District Court where the competition would be held.

    The competition was scheduled to last a total of one week and all finalists were required to reside at the Seoul Central District Court residence and surrender all means of contact with the outside world.

    This was a measure to block the possibility of receiving help from outside or leaking information.

    After completing participant registration each person unpacked their belongings in their designated room at the courthouse and then gathered again.

    For now I planned to take a final look at my future plans while eating.

    “Why is the official residence so bad?”

    “why. Isn’t that okay? “The court is not a wealthy organization but it has everything it needs.”

    Hanseol burst into laughter as he was responding to Lee Ha-ru’s complaints.

    “You seem surprisingly easy-going for someone from a rich family.”

    My favorite food is gratin from the student cafeteria and I’m not particularly interested in clothes or luxury goods.

    Hanseol added “There are times when I feel like an adult who has gone through all the prenatal hardships and hardships.”

    ‘Keuhum.’

    Actually my standard for ‘everything is there’ was relatively low.

    In my previous life I lived in a company dormitory that was no different from a gosiwon. Compared to that the court residence was no different from a five-star hotel.

    “Come on let’s go get something to eat.”

    I gave an appropriate amount of evasiveness and led the group to the courthouse cafeteria.

    “The finals will not be easy.”

    Everyone sat down at the table each holding a plate of food.

    “No matter how much a detective hears about empty houses these are people who have passed the preliminaries of each law school. As you can see from the preliminaries video everyone’s skills are pretty good. “You can’t let down your guard.”

    He continued his explanation while rolling the spaghetti on his fork.

    “Well the basic division of roles is the same. “It’s the same as always.”

    First once I understand the incident to some extent I outline a basic direction or strategy.

    Hanseol looks for data to support this. As always Lee Ha-ru is in charge of program review.

    “But there’s one thing you shouldn’t forget.”

    We are a team.

    “Apart from being faithful to your role you must actively communicate when there are different opinions. No matter how good my skills are I can’t always be right. “If you think I’m missing something don’t hesitate to point it out.”

    “I can’t tell if I’m being humble or unlucky….”

    “Real.”

    “Uh huh. “I will only accept rebuttals from people with higher grades than me.”

    Float a photo and shake it. It was a screenshot of the final exam report card that was released not long ago.

    Needless to say my rank is 1st again this time.

    This is the first place that was won fairly and honestly without relying on luck or circumstances. That’s why I was able to be purely happy this time.

    I felt like I was being recognized that the effort I had put in along the path I had taken was not in vain.

    “I’m even more upset that it’s true….”

    Hanseol pursed his lips as if he was disgusted. She took third place in the finals by one point.

    However the final grade also included the question and answer scores from Professor Park Soo-geun’s lecture and Jang Yong-hwan’s multiple-choice evaluation scores so the final rank was not yet known.

    “Anyway it won’t be an easy fight. “Especially because as you know this competition has completely changed the way it is conducted.”

    “Yeah that’s right.”

    Notice regarding the final round of the legal argument contest uploaded a few days ago. There was some pretty nasty stuff written there.

    <Information on how the competition will proceed>

    1. In order to ensure a fair progress of the competition the 1 In relation to this the occupancy consent form and related documents…(omitted)…

    The various instructions similar to previous years were probably a good thing.

    However once you look past those details a very significant change regarding this year’s Jain Legal Argument Competition emerges.

    “What on earth are you talking about? “The finals are held as a virtual reality game.”

    Prior to writing the brief and presenting the defense the trial included an experiential process of directly investigating the scene of the incident or witnesses recreated in virtual reality using a VR (Virtual Reality) device.

    ‘It was a bittersweet book that brought the author to tears.’

    The preliminary round of the legal argument competition was a series that received a lot of criticism for being uninteresting due to its particularly static directing and excessive proportion of technical content on legal principles.

    In fact by the time the episode was finished there were even readers who were terrorizing the story by posting comments that had nothing to do with the content of the work such as a recipe for braised beef ribs or notes about things to buy at the market.

    It was nothing short of evidence that public sentiment had plummeted.

    In such a situation the same mistake cannot be repeated even in the finals.

    However it was already happening and it was impossible to skip the finals entirely.

    In the end it would have been necessary to depict the dynamic trial preparation process such as inspecting the scene in person and investigating the truth of the testimony like an ordinary courtroom drama.

    The problem was that the cases dealt with at the argument conference were nothing more than inventions.

    Since it wasn’t a real incident there was no way there would be any room for some kick-ass content.

    The idea that was devised to resolve that contradiction was a virtual reality experience device.

    ‘Well there was an additional explanation that made sense in its own way.’

    At that time there was a company making educational VR devices and they needed a stage to prove the performance and practicality of their products.

    At that time there was the influence of high-ranking people who wanted to provide students with practical experience.

    At that time the conversation between the National Court Administration and the company went well.

    As a result virtual reality devices were able to be used in the competition with a sense of cooperation between related companies.

    In fact no matter what it was an unreasonable setting.

    The court is by nature a very conservative organization. The likelihood that such innovative changes would occur in reality was not high.

    But what can you do? As long as the original work was serialized in that way the legal argument competitions of this world had no choice but to proceed in the same way.

    If there was time to make a fuss I had to accept it and prepare.

    We were eating while talking about him. Suddenly Lee Ha-ru who had been quiet suddenly raised her head.

    “ah. “Do you know that?”

    “what?”

    “They say that person is appearing in this competition.”

    ‘Who is that person again?’
