AB - In the aftermath of ‘Democratization,’ ‘legislation petition’ and ‘public interest litigation’ have been strongly related and developed together as movement repertoires in South Korea. But these several years, the numbers and importances of ‘public interest litigation’ have been declined. Through interviewing with staffs and lawyers who have taken charge of ‘litigation’ activities in ‘Lawyers for a Democratic Society (Minbyun)’, ‘People’s Solidarity for Participatory Democracy’ and ‘Korean Public Interest Lawyers’ Group ‘Gong-Gam’, we could find the reason why the status of ‘litigation’ as movement repertoires have been shrunk. It was not just because of deficit of some public laws for class action lawsuit, but because of social movement groups’ weakening of capacities for planning and mobilizing. And conservative lawyers’ group and social movement organizations are using ‘litigation’ as a tool for threatening and pressuring progressive movement groups. This kind of ‘counter movement litigation’ made the meaning of ‘public interest’ more complicated and controversial. But “candle lights demonstration in 2008 summer” gave another opportunity for developing new step of ‘litigation’ as movement repertoires, by connecting lawyers, activists and millions of people.
