To better understand the basic knowledge about Korean legal system, the concept of "Rights" defined by Max Weber will be also explored by the interdisciplinary approach which will enable you to travel across broad social science areas. This approach is designed for not only students with legal background but for students without legal training. Active discussion among students with different majors will make the course exciting and productive. Through the experiences of brain-storming and interacting among students in the predesigned settings, students will learn how to deal with of various legal issues from the interdisciplinary perspective. Students are asked to read the course materials  in advance as scheduled on the table indicated below.

   
 

Reading materials will be informed in class. The course refers to the publication " Korean law in the global economy(Bak Young Sa published in 1996) " written by Professor Sang-Hyun Song who is one of the great legal scholars in Korea  to cover the general picture about Korean Law System. Unfortunately, this is the only English version of law book that I know of.

   
 

Students are required to submit short paper by the end of semester. The subject will be discussed during semester in consultation with professor. The scope of subjects will be open to students' choice.

   
 

The grade will be determined on the basis of the submitted paper on Korean law- related topics. Active participation in the class discussion and attendance will be considered the major factor in determining the grade.
