변호사시험에서 선택형 필기시험의 분리 실시를 통한 법학교육 개선 방안

This paper analyzes the problems of multiple-choice written tests that are hindering the normalization of law education and insists on improvement measures even though it has been 15 years since the bar exam was introduced. The cause of the problem is that the proportion of multiple-choice written tests, which focus on memorizing precedents rather than understanding legal principles, has become too large and that peripheral memorization has become a more important factor in passing than in-depth understanding of precedents. To solve this problem, it is impossible to separate and conduct multiple-choice tests in advance without amendments to the current Lawyers Test Act. However, it is possible to remove some of the existing side effects by lowering the proportion of multiple-choice tests only by amendment of the enforcement ordinance without amendment of the law. In this paper, as a legal amendment, it is argued that the multiple-choice written test should be conducted as a national promotion test for first graders on the 5th day of the current bar exam. The scope of the multiple-choice written test should be reduced to the range that can be learned during the first year. Through the promotion test, it is possible to prevent the problem of the ‘Students who failed 5 times’. There are so many precedents in the bar exam that the burden on test takers is increasing, and law education is difficult to normalize. As an improvement measure, it is necessary to establish a standard precedent, which is a leading case, and use it for teaching materials and examinations. First of all, the law school council should make efforts to normalize law education by mandating the linkage of standard precedents in the practice test of the bar exam.
