법학전문대학원에서의 공법학 교수방법 및 커리큘럼 ― 행정법을 중심으로 ―

Education of the administrative law at law schools Lee, Kyung-Woon* Emphasizing that the law schools are the main way to produce competent leader of the country, especially its public officials, public law has still to be treated as a important subject under the law school system. Consequently, its curriculum has to suit the development of special knowledge and ability in formulating policies and at their legislative progress to consider public interests to harmonize with private interests as well as the interpretation of the positive law. Beside the general theory, to produce public law specialists, who are competent to develop contemplative faculty based on legal mind, it has to be established total curriculums in each particular area. Aiming at the practice oriented education in law schools, a unified teaching is desirable, so that in the area of the public law, at least the establishment of a combined subject of the constitutional law and the administrative law is expected. The biggest problem in the conventional manner of lecture is that the students become passive or inactive in the education. Some new teaching methods are presented such as 'case method', introducing the 'problem method' and emphasizing on practice. Those new methods are verified by American law schools being of use to develop legal mind. Therefore, it is now urgent to make proper teaching materials for case methods and to develop a standardized textbook for problem method. A cooperative work in the government or in the academic society is needed.
