AB - This study compares and examines accrediting organizations of legal education, which are supervised by the Korean Law School, the USA Law Education Council and the Japan Bar Association and Legal Research Funds. Furthermore, it has a target to seek more rational and efficient legal education of accreditation standards for the organizations in this article. The main conclusion of this comparison study on law school accreditation organizations within Korea, USA and Japan is as follows.
First, regarding the USA Law Education Council, it belongs to the ABA(American Bar Association), but its accreditation standards have independence without any intervention, they have a guarantee independence from the lawyer association of evaluation committee, which is a precondition aiming for standards and rules of procedure for approval itself.
Second, the professional committee areas for each need in the development of accreditation standards, need the guarantee professional evaluation members, the guarantee of finance for accreditation standards and the guarantee of fairness of the accreditation decision. The operation of USA professional committee in these areas is a good example.
Third, we need to ensure the equitability of the team visiting to evaluate and use the team's fact-finding investigation separately in order to verify for all objections. The USA Law Education Association has introduced this system already, but Japan and Korea have not applied it.
Fourth, we need to recruit workers in an executive office at the minimum to support the activities related to the work of accreditation.
Finally, the budget has a precondition for the stable operation of the organization of accreditation; the guarantee of expertise of accreditation; and the continuity of accreditation. Businesses like the educational work of Japan Bar Association and Legal Research Funds, legal examination, ability testing for the law are good examples in consideration of the guarantee of finance of Law School Accreditation Association in Korea.
