Introduction of exam

The Old Law of the Judicial Research and Testing (repealed to article 9747 in 2009)

It is the national examination, which was conducted from 1963 to 2017 to select legal professionals in Korea. It was recognized as the toughest test in Korea until its abolition. It was conducted by the Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs (formerly the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, specifically by the Ministry of Government Administration and Security) and by the Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs in 2001.

Although the nominal test was "to test the existence of knowledge and ability needed for those who want to become judges, prosecutors, lawyers, or military judges" (which was consistently declared in Article 1 of the Basis Law since the system was implemented), only after completing the Judicial Research and Training Institute is established, has become a legal person's qualification, and thus the bar exam has become very difficult to obtain a high test status of entrance to the Judicial Research Institute.

And the name of the exam is not a judicial exam. It is assumed that the previous sections of the High Civil Service, the High Civil Service Law, were not part of the higher exam, so many people called it the judicial exam. Even those who pass the exam do not have an example of what they call the "judicial exam,".

Comparatively, most countries would have to pass national exams to qualify for legal examinations, but without graduating from law school, they would only have to look for practical training. However, as the major has many advantages over the non-professional, the ratio of law majors to non-professional majors has reached about 7:3.

The law was replaced by the Law School (Law School, Judicial ExaminationsCritical Document) and the bar exam system, but for the existing test-taking students in 10 years. However, there was a big controversy as to whether the judicial exam should be maintained at all, the bill was proposed, and even the petition was made regarding the passage of the law as it was against the constitution.

However, some argue that the bar exam should be revived on the grounds of ill effect from the Law School[1].

For your information, even the Judicial Research and Training Institute will not be abolished because the bar exam was abolished. In addition to passing the bar exam, the Judicial Research and Training Institute provides training for judges, court researchers and judicial aides.


History

[edit]

It can be said that he has been involved in a bribery scandal since the 16th exam in 1963 was abolished[2]. Before the law was enacted in 2001, it was enforced under the Presidential Decree.

It was an absolute evaluation system until 1969, but it changed to a garden system from 1970. Surprisingly, the reason for the change was because the absolute evaluation system had too few starters, which was done to deliberately increase the number of starters. It is very ironic to think that in the future, there has been a demand to change the quota system to an absolute evaluation system in order to increase the number of starters.

Initially, only college graduates (scheduled) were allowed to take the third test (interview), but only the third exam was administered from 1972, and then eliminated in 1973.

The test was also conducted twice a year. However, only once a year was conducted in 1965, 1966, 1968, and 1969. Then, starting in 1971, the number of tests was reduced to once a year. Later, as the number of applicants continued to increase, a measure was considered to increase the number of exams to two times a year as part of the reform of the judicial exam in the mid-1990s.

For the second test, scores were only disclosed in the past, but since 2005, the rankings of final successful applicants were also disclosed. It is not open to the public, but only the examinees themselves can be identified, except by informing the Judicial Research and Training Institute.

From 2007 on, it was not allowed for "re-students" (those who passed the first and last year's first tests) to take both the first and second exams as a redundancy receipt.

It was a test in which a very strict system of absolute evaluation was rejected until the end of the 1970s, or at most 300 judges a year, but only 100 were present.

Then, the Kim Young-sam administration raised the issue of judicial reform, and even though the law school talk came out for the first time, it decided to suspend the introduction of law schools and increased the number from 300 to 1000. About 10 years from the late 1990s when the number of judicial exam workers and law school students was introduced, the so-called "golden age of judicial examination”.

Up until the age of 300, approximately two-thirds of the trainees were appointed as judges and prosecutors. With such a small number of lawyers, it was almost impossible for ordinary people to hire lawyers, which in turn led to a sharp increase in the number of successful applicants.

Then, the National Assembly decided to introduce a law school in 2007, which led to the abolition of the judicial exam. Of course, it couldn't be eliminated immediately in order to protect existing students ' trust, but has been decided to gradually reduce the number of applicants.

Accordingly, the number of 1,000 people was reduced to 800 in 2010, 700 in 2011, 500 in 2012, 300 in 2013, 200 in 2014, 150 in 2015[3], and 100 in 2016. However, in 2017 only the 2nd test will be conducted. More specifically, the 1st test will last until 2016, but the 1st test will take the 2nd test by 2017.

On May 10, 2012, the deadline for the abolition of the law school of universities established by law school was set for 2017, and the name, organization, and course of teaching was maintained until then. The Ministry only allowed freshmen to enter law schools in 2008 when it approved the law school system.

The first test (multiple choice), which was taken on February 27, 2016, was the last test, and the second test (essay test), which was taken from June 21 to 24, 2017. On November 7, there was a final announcement that all 55 people who passed the second exam passed and they became the final test takers[4].

Test Configuration

[edit]

It took months to read all those books, but when I finished, I forgot the books I had read first. In the end, it is possible to pass the test at the highest point by reducing the rapid discharge of water in a short period of time. After all, it is concentration. It is not advantageous to study every day without play, and it is important to study at least one drink a day a week.

________________________________________ Moon Jae-in, (the president, the 19th and the 22nd pass bar exam).________________________________________

There is no denying that we were lucky; even now that the number of those who passed the bar exam has increased by 10 times than we used to be, it would be fair to say that luck works. Because the amount of study is huge. It takes less than 10 years to study properly. Passing examinations in a short time for incomplete study is not your pride but your luck.

It was the highest level of difficulty among the national tests in Korea. Even those who have learned how to study say that it is difficult. In fact, there are quite a few who study for more than seven years even if they go to Seoul Law School.

The number of successful applicants was the highest among the national tests, which exceeded 1,000 by 2009, with no nationality or age restrictions. In the past, there was no limit on academic background, and then, it was changed so that students could apply for a law school with 35 credits. However, those who fail to graduate from college have no way to take the bar exam, and those who fail to attend the bar are admitted through self-study or credit banking courses.

The reason why we have to study such vast amounts of the Korean test is not just to memorize legal clauses but to learn legal principles. Because studying only a few pages of written notes do not make sense of legal principles, the number of textbooks based on 1,000 pages is shorter, from one to two years, to a long period of decades.

The reason why the bar exam is so difficult is simple. This is because of what is called a case law (“a series of decisions"), and as the times change, the cases change frequently. Simply put, what was not an answer a few years ago may now be the answer. As a result, legal study and problem solving were essential during the test-taking period, and it became impossible to achieve a good result without studying the case law cases. This is why some beginners feel that the problem with the bar exam is neither a principle nor a consistency.

Although the test itself must be a difficult one, it has also become more difficult because of the twisted pride and friction of law professors. Until the 1990s, the issue of release was not made public, making it an irrational question beyond imagination. I took a lot of questions that did not exist in the book in order to shoot the mainstream textbook of the test. Even though the examinees refused to read their papers (not their grades or graded answer sheets, but the original answer sheets themselves), they went to the Supreme Court and made public claims. In the 2000s and thereafter, the first objective test was changed to ask the official opinion of the court case by saying, " If there is a dispute, it depends on the case, " and only the second test based on the precedent.

    • A person whose qualification is suspended due to an act of dishonesty in the recruitment of a state official or local government employee during that period cannot apply for an examination under the Law of the Judicial Research and Testing.

Primary test (multiple choice)

[edit]

In the first test, one of the three basic laws and optional subjects of the Constitution, the Criminal Law and the Civil Code (A), the International Labor Law, the International Trade Law and the International Bar Code (B) is the Law. Many of them choose the A bundle, and few choose B.

The first test is a multiple-choice test, which requires solving 40 questions per subject for 70 minutes. In addition, anomalous behavior that asks, " Which of the following is the most likely choice of correct fingerprints? " by listing examples that contain correct answers and incorrect answers. In addition, the scores used to be the same, but from some point in time, they are given a differentiated score. From the amount of trouble to the amount, it is difficult for the average person to read it properly in time. In fact, until the mid-2000s, all problems were multiple choice and the length of the problem was not very long, but the difficulty had at some point become very ugly. However, due to the gradual decrease in the number of starters due to the planned abolition, the cut-off line scored 289.62 points in the first round of the 2013 test, the highest score since multiple choice. There are still quite a few people who say, " It's better than PSAT, the first test of the ‘Haengsi’ or the Foreign Office. " This happens because some people are particularly vulnerable to type tests such as PSAT. In contrast, the first and second and third exams are all very different and students may be confused because they have to adapt to them all. Some people say that the simplicity of the test fits well, but it doesn't mean that the amount of studying is overwhelming and that it's physically fit, students are generally accepted. Even though the first class of students who have been preparing classes for private institutes frequently spends a week on the first test, the first class of students who take part in the first exam only lasts one to two days a week. (of course, from December when the test is coming) and some people find it difficult, but in contrast, there are those who get high scores without studying.

The first test is conducted every February, and the number of starters is about 2.5 times that of the final selections. Those who pass the first test may take the second exam of the year and the following year. In other words, one can see the second car up to two times. In contrast, first-grade applicants such as fifth-grade public recruitment or legislative notice can only take the second test of the year.

For both the first and second exams, two hours of lunchtime and one hour of rest are highly generous because it is the stress-ended test.

Second Test (essay test)

[edit]

The second test is an ' essay test ', and is tested in seven subjects, including the Civil Procedure Act, the Civil Procedure Act, the Civil Code Act, the Administrative Law and the Criminal Procedure Act, which are the ' Basic Three Laws '. As for the judicial exam, this part gave off an image like the Joseon Dynasty test until the ' 80s, when the test started, the second test showed the problem by opening a scroll on the blackboard. In addition to this test, five-grade public exams, legislative notices, lawyers, and accountants are adopting a test-taking test in the second exam. It takes 120 minutes per class and is perfect for all subjects except civil law. For civil law, we divide it twice a day with a perfect score of 150. In the morning, students should solve one or two questions for two hours and in the afternoon, solve the third problem for one hour.

The second test is held around the end of June each year, with a total test time of 15 hours. Because you can't see them all in a day, you divide them over four days, which is a hell of a march. The competitive rate for the second test is about 5 to 1, including those who failed to pass the first round and those who failed to pass the first round.

Third Test (Interview)

[edit]

The third test (interview) is conducted in a formal manner. Level five bonds take 1.2 multiples and drop 20 percent in the third test, but in the second trial, they filter out all of them and rarely drop in the third test. If there are problems in an interview, they can screen out the losers once more through in-depth interviews. In in-depth interviews, applicants do not fall unless they fail. Even if they fail the third test, they will only need to retake the third test next year. In other words, the ' evaluation ' in the bar exam is already finished in the second round. In any case, if you pass the third round, you will be eligible to enter the Judicial Research and Training Institute, and after completing the second year course, you will be able to become a lawyer. Sometimes there are people who think that they become lawyers right after passing the bar exam, but not. In case of an accident or dismissal during a training session at the Judicial Research and Training Institute, everything may have to be started again[5].


The announcement of the final successful candidate is made every October when Slim-dong is most agitated.

In the 5th Republic of Korea, there was a case in which the National Security Agency deliberately rejected those involved in the current situation in the third trial, which is considered one of the histories of the judicial examination.
