Seoul National University School of Law.” Since its foundation in 1895, SNU School of Law has led the progress and advancement of legal scholarship and education in Korea along with the development of the Korean society at large, and produced excellent scholarship and educated some of the best jurists in the country. Our graduates have played, and are playing a crucial role in the dazzling growth and development process of today's Korea. Now, together with the evolution of the global society, laws and legal research often transcend national boundaries. SNU School of Law has its mandate and mission to train and educate future scholars and legal professionals who would play an active role in the global stage. Accordingly, SNU School of Law is now opening its doors to embrace students and scholars from all over the world. We sincerely invite you to SNU School of Law, where outstanding individuals with clear awareness of the spirit of the times follow their dreams. We hope you will join us in our pursuit of truth, justice and excellence in legal scholarship. Thank you. Won-Woo Lee Dean SNU School of Law

History Today, SNU Law stands apart since we offer a complete legal education. SNU Law is known as the indisputable leader of higher education in South Korea and has a record of an academic excellence and national scholarly influence. The history of Seoul National University School of Law is traced back to the Judicial Training Center, which was established in 1895 toward the end of Chosun Dynasty. That year the government of Chosun enacted the Law of the Constitution of Courts as part of modernization process. The Act separated the judicial branch from the executive branch and established the first National Legal Education Institute.

Starting from the 1960s, many distinguished scholars who had studied overseas in, for examples, Germany, and the United States, joined the faculty and further enriched the academic tradition at SNU College of Law, providing impetus for the establishment and the development of law and legal scholarship of Korea by adding comparative perspectives. In 1963, SNU College of Law established and operated as its auxiliary institution, the Judicial Graduate School which was an institute for training the judicial officials prior to their appointment after they passed national examination to be licensed to practice law. From April 1963 through December 1970 it produced graduates out of fourteen terms, until the Judicial Research and Training Institute were established under the Supreme Court of the Republic of Korea to replace it. Until today, the Judicial Graduate School’s five-hundred and eight graduates have played an active role in the judicial administration and in the practice of law in the nation. In 1975, SNU moved to the current Gwanak campus with all its departments and colleges. The Kooksan Law library was constructed in 1983 which was the first and the only library in Korea specialized in legal materials. Further, in 1990, College of Law began a new construction project for

various research functions. The new building came into use in 1993 with the inaugural commemorative international symposium of “Asian Legal Education in the Age of internationalization”, which has been housing offices for the Law Research Institute and for other research centers, faculty offices and reading rooms for the graduate students. The year 1995 is the hundredth anniversary since the introduction of the modern legal system into Korea, and at the same time, is the centennial for SNU College of Law since its origin of the Judicial Training Center. The College of Law Alumni Association published “The Centennial History of Seoul National University College of Law” and launched the building project for the Centennial Hall Modern Legal Education. In 2008 March, the system of professional graduate school of Law launched. With the inauguration of the new law school system of Korea, SNU Law welcomed its first entering class in the spring of 2009. Currently, SNU Law admits students with a broad range of educational and professional backgrounds. Students are encouraged to develop their critical thinking skills and to prepare to contribute to legal and social progress in Korea and on the international stage. As Korean law and international law rapidly adapt to the challenges facing modern societies, faculty members address the most complex and challenging issues. The achievements of faculty relate to a diverse set of intellectual endeavors. The efforts of faculty range from reform of civil law to the design of global legal frameworks for solving shared problems. SNU College of Law and SNU School of Law are creating true academic leadership in establishing and developing the law and legal system of Korea.

To this date, SNU School of Law has been a leading institute in Korea in terms of legal research and legal education. Further, it aims to lead the legal advancement in the Asia-Pacific area in the coming future. The legal system in Korea is as much developed and refined as those in other advanced nations. Korea is now ready to share its experiences and insights gained therefrom with other nations that are in need of cooperation and assistance in this regard. Here at SNU School of Law, international students from Asia and the Pacific area will learn how law has played a crucial role in the modern history of Korea. With these lessons on the rule of law, they will go forward and contribute to the economic development and political democratization back in their homelands. SNU Law faculty members are committed to establishing the Asian common legal standard that is broadly applicable to the Asia-Pacific region. As the head of the SNU Asia-Pacific Law Institute, I hope that this institute could achieve this ambitious goal as we cooperate with international scholars and students in this region.

Global Faculty Prof.

SNU School of Law is undoubtedly the best school in Korea. It is wonderful to associate with nationally renowned fellow professors and excellent students.

Korea has made impressive progress in both democratization and industrialization in such a short period of time after World War II. Korea has experienced compressed development in the past few decades. The past and the future coexist in Korea. Further, problems of both developing countries and developed countries are witnessed in Korea as well. In the midst of such dynamism, the role of law has been a foundation on which this nation has relied. SNU School of Law has played a central role in expanding the rule of law. Studying at SNU Law will give you opportunities to learn lessons and wisdom obtained in such a process. You will also enjoy privilege to learn from renowned professors. I strongly recommend you to come to SNU Law and benefit what SNU Law has to offer.

Global Faculty Prof.

Birgit Daiber, Germany

SNU Law is a highly acknowledged faculty which offers lectures in Korean and English. Additionally students can qualify in different foreign legal cultures like the German or the one of the EU which helps them to better understand their domestic legal order. They will come in an environment where almost all professors have spent years studying and qualifying abroad which makes them know the situation of foreign students. The members continue to further promote in research, teaching and globalization. Therefore I do not have the least doubt that SNU Law will remain a top-notch law school in the world. Last but not least the Office of International Affairs is prepared to assist them in all matters that can occur during the stay.

Won Kyung Cho

Judge of the Seoul Western District Court I believe that a good lawyer does not claim his or her answer to be absolutely right, but rather has a sense of balance and a sense of social responsibility to brighten the society. I learned to become a true lawyer from the very spirit of SNU School of Law.

International Students Questions 1. Why did you choose SNU Law instead of other Korean Law schools? 2. Since you have been a student at SNU Law for a while now, what is your impression of the school? In other words, what is good about the school?

SAVOURNIN LUCILLE MARIE Pantheon-Assas University, France 22

It’s been a really enriching experience. The infrastructure of the University should be also praised. I love the SNU campus and, specifically, the Law buildings. We have everything we need to study, learn and live here, which makes the adaptation really easy. The professors are good and I have been learning in a really different approach than the one that I’m used to, it’s a more practical focus and I really appreciate it.

CHAN WAI KA

City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong 1. Seoul National University has been ranked as the top-notch university in Korea for long and its Law School is widely known to be very competitive. Therefore, I immediately grasp this precious opportunity when I found that

SNU has joined the exchange program organized by my university in Hong Kong. Since I only have one semester for exchange studies, I will undoubtedly choose the best education institute. Not only will I can gain global exposure, my home university can also benefit when I share my experience with them. 2. In this semester, I take up three law courses at SNU Law School. Despite the heavy workload, I enjoy attending the lectures a lot. Apart from the highly qualified professors who are willing to provide useful guidance, the encouraging learning atmosphere created by SNU Law also plays an important role. Instead of pure lecturing, students’ involvement and contribution are regarded as the main focus of all courses. This allows me to fully understand the crux of the subjects in an efficient way. Furthermore, the cultural diversity of students facilitates exchange of knowledge and helps to broaden my horizons. It is my honour to be able to study in the wellconstructed and high-tech building of SNU Law.

Library & Research Law Research Institute The Law Research Institute is designed to support and develop legal education and culture in the nation. The mission of the Institute is to publish and disseminate theories and practices of law. The Institute publishes academic books, journals and annotations of legal judgments.
