로스쿨에서의 민사소송법 교육

At the starting point of law school, almost all persons in the college of law in Korea, preparing education in the law school, say that Civil Procedure becomes one of the most important subjects. Till now, Civil Procedure is one of the unjustly treated subject because of the theory oriented circumstance of Korean law. No one has thought it is important to teach students how to practice law. But the purpose of law school is cultivating lawyers who can solve legal problems as a professional. It is why importance of Civil Procedure is frequently mentioned. That means that education of law school depends large part on that of Civil Procedure. You cannot teach students this subject as in the past in the classroom. What is the most important point for the professor to teach Civil Procedure in Law School? That might be, I think, to leed students think as a lawyer. Some people say that legal mind is essential for the lawyers, but lawyers without legal mind could not think as a lawyer. For that purpose, legal precedents and cases are used as much as legal theories. Some worries that Korean legal system originated from the European continental law could not adopt case method or socratic method. But in Korean classrooms of law colleges already have adopted case methods from several years ago as well as law textbooks and even Korean Bar Examination. The professor should not tell the students "answer of the problem", but make them survey and think for the answer.
