The controversy over the opening of education market has started as an agenda during the Uruguay Round service sector negotiation in 1991, and in the end of 1993. The final agreement to the service sector negotiation failed to include the openness of the Korean education market. However, almost every sector of the markets in Korea has currently been opened to the other countries since the conclusion of the U.R. negotiation in 1995.
Moreover, since Korea became an formal member of the OECD, thereby it just stepped into an area where the freer trading rules are applicable, service sector's openness including education was even more motivated in the educational sector. Although foreign language education and other education categories are advancing through the openness to other countries in the world, our legal educational system has not compatibly responded to the contemporary social changes.
The current legal education is pointless the curriculum does not cover the various fields of contemporary legal issues the lecture is performed through one-way speech and impractical and too theoretical. If we take a look at the current law education system, it doesn't match with the slogan which is carried out by the Educational Innovation Committee. To solve this issue and meet the need to prepare for changes and turn-over of our ages, legal education must be divided into two, one for generating the qualifications of democratic civilians, the other for educating students who are specialized in law.
In chapter 1, it explains when the education market is going to be opened, what problems the current law education and its system contain.
In chapter 2, it deals with precedence of education market's openness and features in other countries, what will affect us after the market is opened.
In chapter 3, it shows each country's present position and issues of legal education.
In chapter 4, it is related to problems of the current legal education, ideas to improve lecturing method, utilize professor media and foreign law educational curriculum's adoption.
In chapter 5, it discusses, among the improvement opinions, adoption of law graduate school, 6 year term for university graduates.
In conclusion, since our educational service market is available to the general public, this paper suggests how existing law education method and system can be improved comparing with a few examples in other countries. Finally, legal education requires radical changes in this competing world's situation.
