ABSTRACT

Legislators are needed to be more professional than before because international and domestic legislative task have been changed rapidly for many reasons, such as political and economic globalization, crisis of internationalism, diversification of legislative circumstance, and the spread of national problems. These changes are challengeable to traditional law-makers who have trouble to research certain legislative area for their lack of professionalism. ‘The legislative supporting organization’ is an organization to support and aid Congressmen so that they can make ‘the desirable laws’. Especially ‘Congressional supporting organization’ has power to support congressmen’s legislative activities through professional researches. Korean congressional supporting organization began in earnest to be specialized since 2000, but it has been not able to use its all resources because of a budget deficit of Korean national assembly, labor shortages of research, and Congressmen’s lack of understanding about congressional supporting organizations. However, I am sure that if some conditions were improved, congressional supporting organizations could be excellent aides to make up for weaker points of Congress than the Administration. Also they could offer objective and exact legislative resources to legislators based on well-educated professional researchers and advantages of Congress from collecting the public opinion
