ABSTRACT

It has been 10 years since the judicial examination system has been replaced by the system of the lawyer examination system. In order to avoid the problem of the judicial examination, which had been criticized for mass production of test takers, the lawyer examination under the law school system restricts the number of retries. As for the testing method, sentence hypotheticals and real case type problems that integrate various subjects. The purpose of this study is to examine whether the lawyer examination system in Korea is in conformity with the purpose of establishing the law school system. The questionnaire was administered to 100 lawyers graduated from law schools. The questionnaire consisted of the relationship between the law school education and the lawyer examination, the validity of lawyer examinations, and the use of lawyer examinations in the practice of law. As a result of the survey, it was confirmed that students with various undergraduate majors are entering the law school. However, the test subjects useful in the practice of law were concentrated on specific subjects, and in the case of “special subjects in the field of law” were not consistent with the professional field of lawyers who entered the market. The result of the survey is only a sample of some, but the result confirms that it is necessary to revise the examination subjects and the relative importance of such subjects to normalize the lawyer examination system.
