Chapter 527. Going to the training center (1)
“This is the line for Son Dae-gyun, right?”
“I got a direct call from director Son Dae-gyun.”
“…He’s a popular guy.”
Supreme Court Justice Oh Seung-taek licked his lips as if he was sorry.
If it was Son Dae-kyun, Oh Seung-taek himself had to fold a few moves before entering.
Oh Seung-taek was also afraid of Son Dae-gyun’s father.
Sohn Guk-joong, a senior Supreme Court chief.
He was a behind-the-scenes figure in the Korean legal profession.
Son Guk-joong, who is also an old master of the Korean Bar Association.
The Son family was not left out at the starting point of the Korean Bar Association, which began during the Japanese colonial era.
The Korean Bar Association possessed great power to recommend the Supreme Court judges and the Constitutional Court judges.
The chief justice of the Supreme Court was great, but he fell far short of the Korean bar society.
All of them were subordinates of Son Guk-joong, the powerful of the powerful.
No matter how upright the legal people were, they all bowed their heads in front of him.
It was the same with Oh Seung-taek.
Before becoming a Supreme Court judge, I visited him and bowed my head.
It was the feeling of receiving Yunheo from the king.
After that, he was elected and became a Supreme Court judge.
And I also received a word about the chief justice.
I swore to cooperate unconditionally.
However, his self-esteem was not hurt.
After all, it was a huge organization deeply rooted over the past countless years.
Even the president could not touch him.
It was possible to drive even a retired president to death if they were stamped on by them with harsh words.
Not only the legal world, but also the political and media worlds were no different from their limbs.
It was not even a matter of brainwashing the ignorant crowd by raising and reproducing the incident in perfect order.
In any case, the public followed provocative keywords rather than intimate stories.
If you push it with money or scandal, it’s over.
The public was unaware of the fact that huge political funds were essential to becoming a political powerhouse.
There was no politician in Korea who would not be dusted by shaving.
No matter how innocent a politician is, there is no way to deal with the corruption of relatives, families, and people around them who follow them by blood.
Political parties were also a group created by those who had desires anyway.
“…I’ll quit Jang Tae-san.”
Go In-tae cleared his anger and expressed his thoughtful opinion.
I received an irresistible warning from Son Dae-gyun.
I could never divulge what happened with Jang Tae-san.
Knowing that he was filmed by Son Dae-gyun, it was obvious what Oh Seung-taek would do right away.
If it was judged to be an obstacle to his future, it was Oh Seung-taek’s method to boldly write off.
“It should be. After all, there are a lot of talented people.”
Oh Seung-taek also boldly gave up.
“by the way. The atmosphere of the trainees is unusual?”
“The opposition of the 42nd class is unexpected.”
“I guess so. Law students have joined the already overflowing market…”
“What should I do?”
“Leave it. It’s a measles that has to pass at least once anyway. It’s a pity, but it’s a trend of the times that can’t be reversed.”
Oh Seung-taek was also not opposed to law school.
It was just right to train judges who fit their tastes.
Among those with experience in the legal profession, he was appointed as a judge after being recommended through various channels.
Candidates waiting to enter the vested interests were everywhere.
Subjective intervention in appointment was easy.
The same was true of the legal profession.
The line for the judges was fiercely competitive.
There was no judge who wanted to start in the province and end in the province.
It was obvious that the competition to line up at the top would be huge.
I waited and selected the ones I liked and appointed them.
It was scheduled to be appointed in the order of law firm power.
Judges were now forced to be appointed not in order of grades, but according to their ability to exert social influence.
The justification for the grandiose statement of unification of the legal profession was all camouflage.
Among law school graduates, high-quality resources with experience working in law firms were prioritized.
After judges retired anyway, they had to join a law firm, so they exchanged talent with each other.
Everyone in the legal profession, including the judges, knew that the appointment process was conducted in secret.
Still, people didn’t care much, and they weren’t interested.
As the revival of the modern version of the Yin-seo system was done secretly, it was dismissed as something out of public interest.
No, it was difficult to understand the concept itself.
“All right.”
“Rather than that… prepare a present.”
Oh Seung-taek, who was preparing for a sortie for the Chief Justice in earnest, gave an implicit order.
In addition to the Ilsonghoe, I needed a gift to put on the presidential line.
Oh Seung-taek does not want to leave traces on his hands.
I definitely knew how to use someone below me in the right place.
“I will take action right away.”
“Yeah, good job. I haven’t forgotten your balls.”
“I’m sorry.”
Go In-tae bowed his head deeply.
He hid the disgrace he suffered from Jang Tae-san as much as possible.
A judicial bat that you can wield when the time comes.
‘Jang Tae-san!’
decided to take the time.
Judge Go In-tae knew very well that the day would surely come someday when he would repay the humiliation suffered in this way several times over.
There were very few people living legally in Korea’s upper class.
It would have been the same for Jang Tae-san.
***
My right ear was very itchy.
It was clear that someone was swearing at me.
“I solemnly swear that, in being appointed as a Judicial Research and Training Student, I will keep in mind that my duty is to develop my character and ability as a good lawyer, and that I will be familiar with the laws and diligently strive for training, and keep my honor and dignity as a trainee!”
Power went into the neck of the oath representing the trainees.
Wednesday, March 2, 2011.
I came to the school at the end of Korea.
Total 2 year course.
The space was so small that it could not be compared to a university, but the power it had was mighty.
I felt that I had become a student at the Judicial Research and Training Institute, the birthplace of Korea’s most elite course.
When he left this place, he could become a lawyer, judge, or prosecutor.
At the same time, he acquires the status of a civil servant who receives money from the country, which is not in the sale.
In accordance with the Supreme Court rules, it is to become a 5th grade special civil servant.
There was no reason for disqualification under Article 33, Paragraph 1 of the State Public Officials Act.
Since he was not a high-ranking public official, things like property reporting stipulated in the Public Service Ethics Act were omitted.
If there had been a property reporting clause, he would not have taken the bar exam in the first place.
“In the name of the director of the Judicial Research and Training Institute, I grant admission to the 42nd Judicial Research and Training Institute in 2011.”
Cho In-soo, president of the Judicial Research and Training Institute, who seems benevolent but strict, was not allowed to enter.
One year from now, he will become a judge of the Constitutional Court.
He seemed stronger than any other judge.
The stubborn mouth and hooked nose seemed to represent the past life.
It was not a flat contemplation.
As far as I know, he is a person who must continue to walk the path of glory and disgrace.
“…..”
All the 42nd class residents who were sitting were silent.
Everyone had a tense look on their faces.
It was like a gathering of talented people who were born and raised in Korea.
It was the last academic course where the people gathered here had to compete again.
Those who survive here can become judges and prosecutors.
So the intensity will increase.
A tense feeling of tension enveloped the atmosphere as a heavy silence.
The entrance ceremony was only a formal procedure, but it felt new.
The life after the regression is completely different from the previous life.
Events that had occurred over the years passed and scattered like a kaleidoscope.
There were so many incidents.
I was blessed to live again with all the memories of my past life, but I crossed another death crisis several times.
And I came to sit in this space.
It seemed like nothing special, but the feeling was different.
In the future, I will be a member of a truly boring legal profession.
The distinctive signature of the auditorium of the Judicial Research and Training Institute, red point chairs, and the heavy taste of the air were vividly felt in the senses.
I was able to taste the classic court culture, albeit fragmentarily.
“As a senior in the legal profession, I would like to make a simple request to all of you entering the training center.”
Cho In-soo, the head of the training center, started training.
“In Adam Smith’s ‘Theory of Moral Sentiments’, he said that moral judgment is not about determining an exact answer, but about finding an appropriate point of contact between several conflicting values. This can also be applied in legal judgments.”
As expected, he seemed to have a special ideology.
I didn’t recite about the moral values of the standard standard.
“In a legal issue situation, lawyers need sensitivity to understand and sympathize with the various situations and positions involved. You must be in the position of an impartial observer without being swayed by personal feelings. Especially those who will be appointed as judges, do not forget the strict order of the Constitution.”
His voice was low, but his inner work as a judge was difficult to be easily approached.
“Judges are ordered to judge independently of any outside influence or internal interference. The independence of the trial, which has been attacked countless times in the past, is an honor that your seniors have protected. Nothing in the world is guaranteed by itself. No matter what challenge there may be, as a guardian of the Constitution entrusted by the people, I will do my best to make a just decision…”
Tadadadak.
While training center director Cho In-soo was training, two new trainees jumped out in front of the podium.
Cheeralarat.
and unfolding banners.
“I absolutely oppose the appointment of a law school student who has not properly acquired legal education as a prosecutor!”
The relief of the opposite doctor that burst out without hesitation.
“what?”
“What the hell are those things!”
“Oh…”
The high-ranking judges and attendees sitting on the podium were taken aback by the unexpected situation.
A situation that happened at the entrance ceremony of a classy training center.
What happened in the past was reproduced exactly as it was.
When law students began to be produced in earnest, the Ministry of Justice decided to appoint those with excellent grades as prosecutors.
Most of the students at the Judicial Research and Training Institute hoped to become judges if they had high grades.
A counterattack by the Ministry of Justice that hurt its pride.
If the trainees stayed still, it was the certification of the hukou.
Even now, more than half of the nearly 1,000 students in the 42nd class have not entered the admissions office.
It was a situation where a group action was being held while pinching the behavior of the prosecution outside.
However, no one seemed to have expected that he would act like that after entering the entrance ceremony.
It was the first major incident in the history of the Judicial Research and Training Institute.
“Seniors, we want a fair competition! In today’s world, it’s a first-time purchase! This is a direct violation of the fair rule of law!”
“Cancel the decision of the Ministry of Justice!!!”
“Cancel! Cancel!”
Several trainees who entered the training center stood up and shouted together.
The way he clenched his fists and shouted was resolute.
The face of the Minister of Justice, who attended the podium as a high-ranking government official, changed and rotted.
It was a moment when he left a stain on his life as a person who reached the peak as a former prosecutor.
Papababat.
The camera flashes of reporters who were allowed to observe the entrance ceremony of the training center went off continuously.
Today’s events will be talked about from generation to generation for a long time to come.
“What is this… ha.”
Senior Yerin, who was sitting on the right, sighed.
“The rice bowl fight is fierce~.”
Sitting to my left, Senior Kang Arin put down the popcorn and her eyes sparkled as if she was watching a movie.
That’s right, the rice bowl fight.
It was the Judicial Research and Training Institute, which was already produced in huge numbers.
After the judges were elected, the competition for the remaining prosecutor’s seat was heated out of control.
But even that opportunity went to law students first.
It’s even weirder if you can’t turn your eyes.
Except for those who were specially hired by law firms because of their excellent grades, all had to jump into the market of unlimited competition.
The rice bowl fight of the proud people was different from the ordinary people’s thoughts.
“….scary.”
Hyunsoo Kang, who was sitting next to senior Yerin, had a tired expression on his face.
Although he graduated from Hankuk University’s Department of Business Administration, which is a place where brilliant Koreans pass, he seemed intimidated by the atmosphere of the Judicial Research and Training Institute, where other geniuses gathered.
It seemed that the future that was to shut up in the future was touching the skin.
“It will be noisy in the future.”
Arin sunbaenim’s expression didn’t look worried at all.
The identity of her parents was still unknown.
Considering that they are friends with Son Yu-ri, it would not be an ordinary family.
“If you go to Berlin in the future, you shouldn’t eat food like beer. Why?”
“huh?”
“What are you talking about? What’s going on in Berlin?”
The two women sitting next to me opened their eyes wide and asked.
“Germany~ capital…..”
“…..”
The air was as cold as in the middle of a Siberian plain that had suddenly attacked.
The father-in-law gag thrown to break the atmosphere worked well.
“Even the capital of Germany???”
Senior Yerin chewed once more.
“Puhahahahahahahahaha!”
Senior Arin Kang burst out laughing, forgetting where this place was.
“…..”
At that moment, everyone’s eyes turned to senior Arin.
People shouting slogans burst into laughter as they closed their mouths for a moment.
exquisite timing.
The laughter that broke out in the silence could easily be heard as a mockery.
back.
I stabbed Arin-senpai in the side using my inner power.
“ouch!”
Arin sunbaenim screamed as he jumped up from his seat at the sting.
eyes pouring back.
Arin looked back at me.
His eyes were full of hopeless despair.
I turned my head.
Kids need to grow up strong to survive in this harsh world.
And I trusted Arin sunbaenim more than anyone else.
I wanted to leave a memorable memory at the Judicial Research and Training Institute entrance ceremony, which is only once in my life.
“Director Wo! Thank you for the heartfelt words of instruction! So I’m telling you….. The atmosphere is like this….. Can we have lunch? It’s time to drop per the elderly parents waiting over there!”
Also Kang Arin!
“…..”
Silence raged in all directions.
Right now was the moment when the future of senior Kang Arin brightly (?) opened.
“Maybe?”
Cho In-soo, director of the training center, who was uncomfortable with the sudden protest, asked with a smile.
“yes! In order to become a righteous judge, I believe that food comes first!”
Senior Arin’s unique clever spirit continued.
“Then let’s do it. Once again, congratulations on entering the 42nd class at the training center. thank you.”
Insu Cho, the head of the training center, bowed his head and said hello.
clap clap clap clap.
Applause broke out all at once.
In a bad atmosphere, it was impossible to continue the ceremony.
And at that moment, the position of the trainees, who were fighting for food, changed dramatically.
The struggle for rice bowls also has to be determined when and where.
Unfortunately, the price will return to those who acted recklessly in a short time.
High-ranking court officials glaring at them with fierce eyes like goblin lights.
Amen. Amitabha.
I wished her well in advance for the misfortune that was clearly predicted.
