As a senior lawyer, you probably have a lot of schedules., Attorney Kim, who willingly took the time to be interviewed, said he enjoyed his time at law school. ‘valuable time’He recalled. We met and talked to lawyer Kim Young-min, who is quietly and unwaveringly following his own path.. While preparing for the bar exam, I was selected for the spring literary contest. Q) Please briefly introduce yourself.. hello. law firm(finite) Civil affairs in Daeryun, detective, I am Kim Young-min, a lawyer who is in charge of various litigation matters, including domestic affairs.. My history is a little special., After graduating from Seoul National University Law School, I failed to achieve my dream of passing the bar exam. 29I joined the military as a private at the age of three.. After being discharged from the military, I was preparing for a job in the media., By chance, I learned about a law school scholarship system for the economically disadvantaged. 35Sarah entered law school at a somewhat late age.. That's how I passed the bar exam and got to where I am now.. Q) I entered law school while preparing for the bar exam., When did you start dreaming of becoming a lawyer?? My dream of becoming a lawyer started from childhood.. In particular, my relationship with the late lawyer Cho Young-rae had a big impact.. Attorney Young-Rae Cho was a cousin of my eldest mother., I've heard a lot of his stories since I was young.. 'human rights lawyer'I developed a vague dream of becoming a lawyer like Cho Young-rae, the famous lawyer.. Then, naturally, I went to law school., My dream of becoming a lawyer came to fruition.. Q) You have a unique history as a winner of the Spring Literary Contest., Could you please introduce an anecdote from that time?? That episode was one of the most dramatic moments of my life.. In fact, I have been active in literary arts classes since elementary school and have won many awards in writing contests.. Then college 1I've competed in the Spring Literary Contest every year since I was in grade school, but I kept failing.. 2007year winter, bar exam 2I was busy preparing tea, so I didn't have time to write a new piece.. So, I made some changes to the work that was previously rejected and submitted it., This time we came up with a special strategy.. At the time, most applicants were submitting manuscripts written on computers., I took the opposite approach and wrote the manuscript by hand and submitted it.. I thought it would be more noticeable to the judges.. And then something truly unbelievable happened. I received a call from the Chosun Ilbo Spring Literary Contest., He asked me why I wrote my work on manuscript paper and submitted it.. at that moment 'ah, You got elected this time!'I had an intuition that. In fact, I was notified of winning a few days later.. Through this experience, I really felt that there is a time in life.. When I think about it now, I joke that maybe I didn't pass the bar exam because I used up all my luck..(laugh) Q) Hard law and soft poetry(童詩), It feels like a somewhat incongruous combination..(laugh) At first glance, it may seem that way.. But I think these two fields are more closely connected than you might think.. I am reminded of the words of former Supreme Court Justice Kim Jae-hyung, whom I took a class in as an undergraduate., "There is a lot of space to be filled by imagination, both inside and outside civil law."While "Legal imagination is as important as literary imagination."He said. After hearing that 'and, Don’t I have both literary imagination and legal imagination??'I remember thinking.(laugh) Actually, writing, including children's poetry, has been a hobby of mine for a long time., Law is the field I majored in.. If you look at the relationship between hobbies and occupations, they are not that different.. Rather, I think having both of these things would be my strength.. 3annual tuition, Decided to go to a law school that even supports living expenses Q) What made you decide to go to law school?? In fact, the biggest reason was economic.. Since I was young, my family's financial circumstances were not good, so I always received help from scholarships to study.. After graduating from college, I faced a significant financial burden while preparing for the bar exam.. Then 31After completing my military service at age 7, I was preparing for a job., A friend heard about my situation and told me about a law school scholarship program.. It turned out that I was in the second-lowest class, so I was able to receive a significant scholarship when entering law school.. even ret(LEET) I was even able to get the test fee waived.. It was a bit disappointing that it was only then that I found out that such a system existed.. If I had known sooner, I would have applied to law school right after I was discharged from the military.. I took the LIT exam without any special preparation., I got a surprisingly high score. I was accepted to both Sungkyunkwan University and Chung-Ang University., After thinking about it 3Annual tuition and monthly 100I was admitted to Chung-Ang University Law School, which offered exceptional conditions that included living expenses support of up to 10,000 won.. Q) Age when you took the bar exam 38It must have been quite different from his younger peers., Wasn’t it physically difficult??(laugh) As I mentioned earlier, I was relatively comfortable thanks to my background as a major.. So, fortunately, there wasn't much physical strain.. but, 3grade 2After finishing the semester final exam and with about a month left until the bar exam, I let my guard down for a moment.. Since I don't have to go to school, I stay in my room and watch YouTube and dramas all day., I spent some time watching movies.. Now that I think about it, it was a really dangerous move.. Even before the bar exam 'What if I fall??'Because I was so worried that. Fortunately, I passed, Until the announcement of successful candidates 3It was a truly nerve-wracking moment.. Through this experience, you must not let go of tension until the end., I learned the hard lesson that skill lies in overcoming and doing things when you don't want to do them.. Q) Before you know it 7You have been working as a lawyer for three years.. Recent law firm(finite) You moved your home to Daeryun., What kind of work do you do?? yes, Current law firm(finite) General civil affairs in Daeryun, I am in charge of criminal litigation.. Especially in Daeryun, the lyrics incident, In other words, I also do a lot of work related to divorce and inheritance.. I am building my so-called expertise by handling cases in various fields.. Q) What are the rewards and difficulties you find in your work?? The greatest reward is when I solve my clients’ problems.. I especially feel greatly rewarded when I help people who are in financial difficulty or who are having difficulties due to lack of legal knowledge.. The greatest joy as a lawyer is being able to make positive changes in people's lives with my experience and knowledge.. The challenge is that it is sometimes difficult to reconcile the gap between client expectations and legal reality.. From the client's perspective, of course, he wants a favorable outcome for himself., There are cases where it is legally difficult.. In times like this, the process of explaining the reality while finding the best alternative and persuading the client is not easy.. also, Sometimes it is difficult to manage personal time due to a lot of work.. However, I am overcoming these difficulties by thinking that they are part of my growing process.. “Someday, I want to work as a lawyer and children's writer.” Q) What makes you most happy these days, lawyer?? I've been really into running lately.. last year 6I started running through the Runday app in January., Not long ago, I ran a marathon 10km participate in the course 55Set a squad record. At first, I thought it was a sport that didn’t cost much money., As I got deeper and deeper into it, my running shoes, running belt, There are surprisingly many things to buy, including sports watches..(laugh) 30run without stopping, 50run without stopping, 5km Completed, 10km Every time I set a goal, such as completing a race, and achieve it, I give myself these items as a gift.. sort of 'running flex'Should I say?(laugh) Q) What are the future plans of lawyer Kim Young-min and person Kim Young-min?? In the future, I would like to further develop my expertise in a specific field.. So far, I have handled cases in a variety of fields., Now the labor law, lyrics(divorce, succession), criminal law, I'm trying to focus more on one specific field, such as copyright law.. In the long term, my goal is to run a law office or law firm under my name.. When that time comes 'Attorney Youngmin Kim' When I did it ‘ah~ Skilled in what field’I would like to be evaluated as a warm and humble lawyer.. To this end, I plan to continue studying and accumulating various experiences.. Personally, maintaining a good balance between home and work is one of my important goals.. My daughter is just now 5It's killing me, I also cherish the time I spend with my children and want to maintain a balance between home and work.. And if you have one small dream, Someday, I want to work as a lawyer and children's writer.. I'm always envious and respectful when I see people who are both lawyers and writers.. If I get the chance, I also write fairy tales and essays for children., Furthermore, it would be great if we could provide legal education to children.. Q) Lastly, do you have any advice for those who are hesitant to go to law school due to their age or the misunderstanding that tuition will be expensive?? First, you can safely stop worrying about tuition.. There are many scholarship benefits depending on your income level.. I too am a living witness to the benefits.. Being old is definitely not a factor in failing to pass the exam.. Rather, past life experiences can be a strength.. The important thing is to appeal well to what kind of study you have done up to that age, what social experiences you have gained, and what strengths you have gained as a lawyer through that. Don't worry too much about your past undergraduate grades as they are already in the past. Instead, focus on your English scores, such as TOEIC, or LIT scores, which can be improved with effort. Never think, ‘I can’t do it because of my age.’ Instead, just think about how you can incorporate your age into your strengths in your self-introduction. If you prepare like that, you will definitely be active in the legal field with me in three years. We support your challenge! Reporter Park So-hee (showe@leet.or.kr)[View full article]
