법학부의 위기와 노동법 교육

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Since the 1. semester 2009, 25 graduate schools of law(law schools) have opened with 2,000 students out of the various major fields of study. At this stage no one can be sure if this law school system for 3 years, which invests the graduates with the right for the examination for the bar, could eradicate the social ills caused by the judicial examination.
The introduction of the law school had a serious influence on the education of the remained faculties of law. The faculties of law are now divided into 2 types; the large faculties with the aim of law school entry and the small faculties without the one.
The large faculties, which have increased the number of professors for the purpose of the application for law school, have the problems with the curriculum on the grounds of the mismatch between the teaching persons and the subjects.
The small faculties are suffering from shortage of students due to the falling birthrate. Therefore their foremost interest is to recruit new students for the time being.
The curriculum of labor law, as well as other subjects, is affected by the pending issues of each faculty. The large faculties have the labor law curriculum each semester which is comprised of labor law 1(for example individual labor law system) and labor law 2(for example collective labor law system). While labor law 1 is crowded with students, the labor law 2 falls short of the minimum number of students for the course. In several faculties labor law is composed of the theory(1. semester) and practice(2. semester) which opened separately. In such cases the problem of the half-track class is solved partially. However, one semester is too short to deal with the whole labor law issues.
Because of the above mentioned problems, labor law curriculums are consist of largely the principles of Labor Standard Act and the Trade Union Act. The specific problems, which take an increasing interest in the practices, are hard to deal with.
