유료 성인물방 입장해 ‘아청법’ 위반 기소된 10대 무죄…법원 “아동·청소년 성착취물 인식 단정 못 해”
A teenager indicted for violating the ‘Scam Law’ by entering a paid adult chat room is found not guilty… Court “Cannot determine whether it recognizes sexual exploitation of children and adolescents”
A teenager who paid money to purchase a link to a Telegram data room that distributes adult content was put on trial on charges of purchasing child and youth sexual exploitation material, but was found not guilty after explaining that he did not know that child and youth sexual exploitation material was posted in the data room. According to the legal community on the 22nd, the Wonju Branch of the Chuncheon District Court found Group A, a teenage male indicted on charges of violating the Act on Sexual Protection of Children and Adolescents, not guilty on the 26th of last month. The sentence was handed down. Mr. A was brought to trial in June last year on charges of purchasing a link to a Telegram data sharing room containing a large number of sexual exploitation materials of children and adolescents. In the data room, about 1,100 files, including sexual exploitation of children and adolescents, were posted. Mr. A denied the charges, saying he did not know whether there was sexual exploitation of children and teenagers in the data room. It is said that he only purchased an access link from the administrator to view general adult content after seeing an advertisement for a data room posted on a Telegram channel, and was not aware that child and adolescent sexual exploitation material was posted. The court also ruled that it could not be concluded that Mr. A knew that the data room contained child and adolescent sexual exploitation material. This is because the capture of the data room advertisement submitted as evidence by the investigative agency was collected after the day Mr. A purchased the link, so it is difficult to view it as exactly the same as what Mr. A saw, and there was no evidence such as the conversation that Mr. A had with the data room manager. Attorney Gil Se-cheol of the Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. A, said, “For the indictment to be proven, the actor must have tolerated the possibility of a crime occurring,” and “The notice at the time when Mr. “We were able to receive a not guilty verdict by faithfully explaining that it was difficult to recognize that there was exploitation material.” Reporter Jeong Cheol-wook[View full article] A teenager indicted for violating the ‘Scam Law’ by entering a paid adult chat room is found not guilty… Court “Cannot determine whether it recognizes sexual exploitation of children and adolescents” (Shortcut)

"무심코 답했다가 팀 전체 입국 거부"… 미국 입국심사 금지어는
“After answering inadvertently, the entire team was denied entry”… Words banned from entering the U.S.
Due to the strengthening of US visa screening, managing personnel on overseas business trips has emerged as a key risk in corporate management. Following the arrest and detention of Koreans in Georgia, the number of cases where valid visa holders are denied entry at the airport has increased. The U.S. State Department recently significantly reduced the scope of interview exemptions for non-immigrant visa applicants. Face-to-face screening is also mandatory for visas related to business activities, such as short-term business (B1), expatriate (L1), and investment (E2). As the interview location was limited to nationality or residence, it became difficult to conduct a quick interview through a third country. These changes are directly affecting the business trip and investment schedules of global companies. Accordingly, large domestic law firms are strengthening their organizations dedicated to visas and immigration. We are expanding practical advice, including verification of a company's overseas dispatch purpose, crisis response manuals, and English interview coaching. It is a move to prevent legal risks that may arise throughout the entire process of corporate activities. The entire team is denied entry by saying 'work' instead of 'inspection'. Among these, Daeryun Law Firm (Yuhan)'s case of establishing a 'dual response system' is attracting attention. Daeryun has a structure that simultaneously carries out domestic proactive management and overseas local response. In Korea, we provide industry-specific visa risk diagnosis, stay management solutions, and English Q&A interview coaching. Overseas, New York, Washington D.C. Based at the office, local lawyers provide real-time connection to visa screening, immigration procedures, investment advice, etc. Daeryun's U.S. attorney Mia Kim (Washington, D.C.) explained, "A U.S. visa goes beyond simple entry permission and is a process of evaluating a company's trustworthiness." Attorney Kim recently introduced a case in which a technical staff member of a large company went on a business trip to inspect U.S. facilities and was stopped at the immigration screening. These workers entered the country using ESTA and expressed 'inspection' as 'working', which was misunderstood as illegal work. In the end, all members of the business trip were denied entry. Attorney Kim later presented a case in which the B1 visa was approved again by supplementing the purpose of the business trip and supporting documents, emphasizing that "one word can determine the success or failure of entry." In another case, the head of a domestic mid-sized company was denied ESTA entry due to a past minor criminal record. Attorney Kim prepared information about the details of the case and the absence of risk of recidivism, went through the waiver process at the U.S. Embassy, and received approval for a B1/B2 visa. Attorney Kim said, "Recently, there has been an increase in visa inquiries from subcontractors of large corporations that have established corporations in the U.S. and dispatched personnel," and added, "There is a trend in which corporate transparency, employment plans, and business purposes are also evaluated. It is important to respond in advance to various variables." Recently, in the global market, visa screening has been strengthened and overseas business personnel are responding to local regulations, etc. Complex risks occur simultaneously. Accordingly, the role of law firms is becoming a strategic partner that helps companies achieve sustainable management.

"복도서 졸고 있길래..." 합석 여성 집으로 데려간 20대, 감금 '무혐의'
"I saw you dozing in the hallway..." A man in his 20s who took a woman who was sitting with him to her home was imprisoned, 'not guilty'
Prosecutors accused of confining and molesting a woman who had been with her at a drinking party: “There is no evidence that he was forcibly brought in” A man in his 20s who was accused of dragging a drunk woman to his house and confining her was cleared by the prosecution. According to the legal community on the 21st, the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office decided not to indict Mr. A, a man in his 20s who was transferred on charges of confinement and forcible molestation on the 19th of last month. Mr. A was accused of forcibly dragging B, a drunken woman in her 30s, to his residence last May and confining her for about three hours. However, Mr. A completely denied the charges. He stated that he was also drunk at the time and only came to his senses after returning home, and that he only brought him home because Mr. B was dozing off in the hallway. Mr. A explained, “The landlord lived upstairs, and I was concerned that there would be trouble because Mr. B was right in front of the front door, so I agreed to go into the house.” The prosecution found that Mr. A was not guilty. The prosecution said, “As a result of checking CCTV, it is consistent with the suspect’s statement that he does not remember anything from the time the accuser was present,” and added, “There is no clear evidence in the recording at the time that the suspect forcibly brought the suspect home.” Attorney Ahn Kwon-seop of Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. A, explained, “For an act to be considered a crime, it must cause shame or disgust, and confinement must make it impossible to leave a specific area, but neither of these applies in our client’s case.” He added, “Through the recording at the time, we explained the difference between ‘passing out’ and ‘alcohol black out,’ which is fragmentary memory loss, and we were able to receive a non-indictment by faithfully explaining that contact with the client was limited to assistance, etc.” Reporter Seohyun Lee (sunshine@kyeonggi.com)[View full article] "I saw you dozing off in the hallway..."

Introduction The contributor feels that the number of consultations from entrepreneurs with medical backgrounds has increased significantly recently.. In particular, with the development of artificial intelligence technology, the healthcare industry paradigm is changing. ‘digital healthcare’ While rapidly changing towards, Doctors' interest in and inquiries about starting a business is rapidly increasing.. The government is also fostering the pharmaceutical and bio sector as a future growth engine., The startup ecosystem based on doctors’ medical expertise is expected to become more active.. In this paper, along with recent trends in doctor startups,, Let’s take a look at the core legal knowledge you must know during the process of starting a business.. 2. Recently, major areas of physician startups appear to be focusing on areas where physician entrepreneurs can utilize their differentiated strengths of clinical experience and medical knowledge.. The fields in which doctors are actively starting businesses recently are as follows:. first, This is the digital healthcare field.. AI Based diagnostic assistance software, telemedicine platform, digital therapeutics(DTx) Representative examples include. Physicians have access to a wealth of clinical data and, Problems in actual medical settings(pain point)It has a competitive advantage in that it can accurately identify. especially AI Since the performance of the algorithm depends on the quality of the training data,, The competitiveness of doctors who possess vast amounts of clinical data is enormous.. second, This is the field of new drug development.. unmet medical needs(Unmet Medical Needs)Group of diseases that exist, For example, we are actively participating in the development of new drugs for rare and incurable diseases.. Doctor-turned-entrepreneurs are discovering innovative treatment targets based on a deep understanding of disease mechanisms., We also demonstrate expertise in clinical trial design.. 3. Startup common sense that I would like to share with doctor entrepreneurs dreaming of starting a startup (1) The need to improve your understanding of technology If you are preparing to start a business in the digital healthcare field,, Acquiring basic programming knowledge is recommended.. In the contributor's experience, communicating with developers while having an understanding of programming languages, Communicating without any relevant knowledge makes a significant difference in the quality of the results.. Even if it is not at the level of a professional developer, Understanding basic concepts and terms greatly increases the efficiency and completeness of product development.. (2) Active use of government support programs Startup support programs have expanded significantly due to the government's strong will to foster the pharmaceutical and bio sector.. In addition to supporting investment attraction,, A variety of programs are being operated, including legal, financial, accounting, and start-up consulting.. For entrepreneurs who lack initial capital and expertise, such support measures are like rain in a drought.. Although you may be very busy with your current job, we recommend that you actively explore and utilize this information in the early stages of starting a business. (3) The importance of establishing legal relationships in the early stages If this is your first business, it is advisable to seek advice from a legal expert from the early stages if possible.. In Korea, awareness of the importance of contracts is relatively low., In the case of the United States, the members in the early stages of starting a business 'contract between shareholders'It is common to clarify legal relationships by systematically concluding. In the contributor's experience, during the company management process, 'faith'It is virtually impossible to solve all problems alone.. It may seem a bit dry in our emotions, but, share structure, How to make decisions, Clearly agreeing and documenting the scope of authority and responsibility in advance is a shortcut to preventing conflict in the long run.. actually, Couldn't even get off to a proper start because the initial share structure was set incorrectly.(VCThey are reluctant to invest if the founder's stake is too low.), Cases of business disintegration due to disagreement between co-founders are more common than you might think.. It is recommended that early legal advice be considered as it can be a means of preventing such situations and helping managers to focus solely on management.. (4) Understanding the Regulatory Environment As you know, the biopharmaceutical industry is governed by medical laws and regulations., Pharmaceutical Affairs Act, Medical Device Act, Personal Information Protection Act, It is a strongly regulated industry that operates under a complex regulatory system, including bioethics laws.. No matter how good a business model is, if it violates the law, it will go out of business.. Therefore, check whether the business model violates current laws and regulations., What permits and permits are required must be reviewed in advance.. 4. Conclusion Physician entrepreneurs have a strong competitive edge in medical expertise.. However, in order to develop this expertise into a successful business, it is necessary to understand the technology, Take advantage of government support measures, understanding the law, Multifaceted preparation is required, including understanding the regulatory environment.. The contributor is confident that the challenges of doctor-turned-entrepreneurs will become an important driving force in the development of Korea's pharmaceutical bio industry and supports them.. Accordingly, starting with this paper, we will continue to introduce legal knowledge that can be of practical help to physician entrepreneurs.. We ask for your continued interest, readers..

법무법인 대륜, 국내 로펌 최초 '송무품질보증제도' 도입
Daeryun Law Firm is the first domestic law firm to introduce the ‘Litigation Quality Assurance System’
Daeryun Law Firm is the first domestic law firm to introduce the ‘Litigation Quality Assurance System’ and begin providing responsible legal services. In addition, it announced on the 20th that it has implemented the 'Daeryun Members Guarantee System', which allows refunds at any time if you are not satisfied with the membership service, and has started operating the so-called 'double guarantee system'. The 'Litigation Quality Guarantee System' is a system that takes immediate corrective action if the client expresses dissatisfaction during the course of the case, and refunds the fee if the dissatisfaction is not resolved. It is considered an unprecedented attempt in the domestic legal market in that the law firm itself guarantees the quality of legal services. The purpose is to guarantee the quality of legal services, secure customer trust by establishing a system that allows immediate response and even refunds in the event of customer complaints, and spread a culture of responsibility in legal services. Daeryun explained that it has designed a structure that takes responsibility in a reasonable way if the three standards of professional case performance, transparent procedures, and faithful communication are not met. Daeryun Kim Kuk-il, CEO of Daeryun, said, "Daeryun has been aware of the problem related to refunds for a long time and has been seeking ways to respond. As a worker in the same industry, we are concerned about the recent behavior of some law firms, such as lack of communication and non-refundability after 3 days," and added, "We have established our own responsibility structure under the principle that the customer should be the center of legal services." He explained, “We have stipulated it and prepared institutional supplementary measures.” In addition, Daeryun operates a separate team in charge of refunds, and when a request for a refund is received from a client, it checks the progress of the case and calculates the deductible amount according to the standards. The plan is to simplify the process as much as possible to reduce the inconvenience of the client, while analyzing the cause after the refund to reflect it in improving service quality. CEO Kim said, "There may be some cost burden in the short term, but in the long term, it is an investment that builds customer trust." “The ultimate goal is to create an environment where law firms can provide a level of service that leaves no room for doubt and where clients can entrust their cases with trust,” he said.

“세대호출, 비정상적 출입 아냐”…주거침입 30대 남성 ‘무혐의’
“Household call, not abnormal entry”… Man in his 30s acquitted of home invasion
A man in his 30s who was handed over to the prosecution on charges of opening the common front door and visiting the victim after opening the common front door and visiting the victim's residence was cleared of charges. On the 2nd of last month, the Busan District Prosecutors' Office decided not to indict Mr. A, a man in his 30s who was sent on charges of trespassing. Mr. A entered the apartment through the common front door on two occasions in August and went to the front of the victim B's house. He was accused of visiting. Mr. B claimed that Mr. A came to threaten him even though he had expressed his refusal several times. On the other hand, Mr. A denied the charges. I sent a text message to Mr. B before the visit and explained that I intended to meet him for the purpose of conversation, not threats. Mr. A claimed, “I went to the residence of Mr. B to resolve misunderstandings and express his thoughts face-to-face with Mr. B’s family,” and that “the victim did not clearly express his intention to refuse by actively communicating with him until just before the visit.” The prosecution ruled that Mr. A was not guilty. The prosecution said, “The suspect entered through the common front door by calling the household rather than entering a password,” and added, “Considering the fact that the victim came down in the elevator with the suspect or the suspect attempted to enter the victim’s house, it is difficult to say that there was an intention or inception of the home invasion.” Kim Jin-won, an attorney at law firm Daeryun who represented Mr. “It must be based on behavior,” he said. “He sincerely explained that Mr. A’s behavior was not an abnormal method of access.” Digital Content Team[View full article] “Household call, not abnormal entry”… Man in his 30s acquitted of home invasion charges (Click here)

동료 앞에서 상관 모욕한 군인, 강등 징계에…法 “지나친 처분”
A soldier who insulted his superior in front of his colleagues was demoted... Law “Excessive Disposition”
A soldier who sexually harassed his superior received a ‘demotion’ and filed a lawsuit for cancellation… “The statement was made only once with an ambiguous meaning.” The court said, “Considering that he committed it once… Demotion, which is the most severe discipline, violates the principle of proportionality.” The court ruled that demotion to fellow soldiers for insulting their superiors once was excessive. According to the legal community on the 20th, the 2nd and 3rd administrative divisions of the Uijeongbu District Court ruled in favor of the plaintiff in the suit to cancel the demotion filed by A, a man in his 20s, against an army official on the 30th of last month. Mr. A was demoted last year for sexually harassing two superiors in front of fellow soldiers in 2022 while he was serving in the military. However, Mr. A filed an appeal, claiming that the disposition was not legal. He did not commit an insult by referring to a specific person, and only spoke once in an ambiguous expression. The military, which reviewed the case, dismissed it, and Mr. A filed an administrative lawsuit in court. The military countered that the filing of the lawsuit itself was illegal because Mr. A had already been discharged from the military. It was also emphasized that there was no coercive investigation and that Mr. A had made insulting remarks by specifying the victims' names. The court ultimately ruled in Mr. A's favor. The court first judged Mr. A's lawsuit as legal, saying, "The plaintiff received a reduced salary from the time of his demotion until he was discharged," and "If the disposition is canceled, he can be considered to receive compensation for the financial disadvantage." He continued, "In some of the plaintiff's remarks, he mentioned the names of the victims and committed sexual insults. The degree of misconduct cannot be said to be light," but added, "Considering that he committed it only once in the presence of soldiers, the most severe disciplinary action, demotion, is excessive." He added, "It violates the principle of proportionality." Heo Seong-guk, a lawyer at the law firm Daeryun who represented Mr. A, explained, "The disciplinary committee determined that there were aggravated grounds for reasons such as 'severe sexual humiliation' and 'multiple harassment at the same opportunity,'" adding, "However, since Mr. Reporter Seohyun Lee (sunshine@kyeonggi.com)[View full article] A soldier who insulted his superior in front of his colleagues was demoted...

On the 20th, Daeryun Law Firm declared the introduction of the ‘Litigation Quality Assurance System’, the first domestic law firm to do so. He also added that the 'Daeryun Member Guarantee System', which allows refunds at any time if you are not satisfied with the membership service, will be implemented. Attention is being paid to whether Daeryun's move will bring about a change in the industry's practice of leaving cases to law firms until the results are obtained. In an interview with Newsis on the same day, Daeryun CEO Kim Kook-il emphasized, "The emphasis of this system is on guarantees, not refunds." CEO Kim commented, "It means that we have not simply left open the possibility of a refund, but have objectively inspected the quality of legal services and established a system to institutionalize it." Next, a Q&A with CEO Kim Kuk-il. - Please briefly explain the litigation quality assurance system. "Literally, we will take responsibility for the legal services provided by Daeryun. We promise professional case performance, transparent procedures, and faithful communication, and have designed a structure to take responsibility in a reasonable manner if these standards are not met." This means that if the client expresses dissatisfaction with the legal service, immediate action will be taken to ensure that the client is satisfied. If the client is still dissatisfied, the fee will be refunded. If the necessary procedures for performing the work, such as establishing a response strategy and writing an opinion, have been completed, a minimum deduction will be made according to the degree." - What is the reason for introducing it for the first time in the industry? "In the domestic law firm market, legal services have always been provided unilaterally until the client takes charge of the case. It was a structure in which everything had to be left to the law firm. Even if the client did not like the execution process, there was virtually nothing that could be done, so there were quite a few cases where some clients who had entrusted the case to another law firm complained of damages, saying, "They were unilaterally denied a refund." Daeryun believes that this irresponsible reality is weakening the trust of the entire domestic legal market. This in itself gives clients confidence in the quality of legal services and psychological stability at the same time.” - Recently, controversy over refunds has continued in the legal world. Lawyer groups also took issue with some law firms' refund policies and hinted at sanctions. Can it be seen as a system that takes this atmosphere into consideration? "No. Daeryun has been conscious of issues related to refunds for a long time and has been seeking ways to respond. Until now, the industry has considered the issue of refunds between law firms and clients as a 'conflict between private persons'. It was viewed as a civil matter. There were also no guidelines at the bar association level related to refund regulations. Daeryun also went through trial and error. In the end, it thought that 'customers' should be the center, and this time, We have established our own principles and stipulated a structure of responsibility." - How can we specifically request a refund? "When a request for a refund is received from a client, the team in charge first checks the progress of the case and calculates the deductible based on pre-established standards. In addition, after the refund process is completed, we will begin a detailed analysis to avoid repeating the same mistake. "It may be a burden on management. However, in the long term, it is considered an investment in the next relationship with the customer, which creates a virtuous cycle that leads to re-requests and recommendations. Above all, the goal is to achieve systematic quality control to the extent that refunds are rare. "The purpose of this system is not refunds. Daeryun's ultimate goal is to establish a structure that does not require refunds, and clients can entrust their cases with that trust. “That is the goal of the Litigation Quality Assurance System.” Reporter Baek Jae-hyeon (itbrian@newsis.com)[View full article] Kim Kuk-il, CEO of Daeryun Law Firm, which introduced Korea’s first litigation quality assurance system [Interview] (Shortcut)

주차장서 정산 중인 여성 추행한 50대…법원 판단은?
A man in his 50s molested a woman who was paying her bills in a parking lot... What is the court decision?
Defendant was found not guilty for "contacting while moving the parking payment kiosk" and "touching the victim by getting caught in her bag" A man in his 50s who was put on trial for molesting a woman who was paying at a parking lot kiosk was acquitted. On the 17th of last month, the Gwangju District Court found A, a man in his 50s, not guilty on charges of forcible assault. Mr. A was accused of touching the body of a woman, B, who was standing in front of a parking payment kiosk machine in a supermarket parking lot in Gwangju last year. Yes. Mr. A denied the charges. He had problems with his physical movements due to a chronic illness he had been suffering from, and he claimed that he accidentally bumped into him while he was moving when Mr. B, who was paying his bills, told him to use the machine next to him. He also emphasized that there were many people around at the time of the incident and that he had no reason to commit such a crime in a situation where his spouse was also with him. The court found Mr. A not guilty. The court said, "When looking at the CCTV footage of the scene, it can be confirmed that the defendant's arm was caught in the bag the victim was carrying and that the defendant's body came into contact," but added, "It cannot be concluded that the defendant touched with the intention of molestation." He added, "The defendant's spouse was very close by, and it is difficult to say that he committed the crime of forcible molestation immediately after talking to the victim in a situation where many people were passing by." Daeryun Law Firm, which represented Mr. A. Attorney Kim Seong-ik explained, "In order to establish a crime of forcible molestation, there must be proof beyond a reasonable doubt that there was an intention to commit molestation. Mr. A demonstrated that there was no intention by emphasizing that he did not intentionally approach Mr. B but was moving to settle the account."[View full article] A man in his 50s molested a woman who was paying her bills in a parking lot...
