100 Newly Admitted Lawyers Gather for First Young Lawyers School

[Financial News] The Korean Association of Legal Professionals, an organization led by young lawyers, held its first Young Lawyers School for 100 newly admitted lawyers.
The Korean Association of Legal Professionals said on the 16th that it held the first Young Lawyers School on the 12th at the law building of Sungkyunkwan University in Jongno-gu, Seoul, with 100 newly admitted lawyers from the 14th and 15th cohorts in attendance.
The Young Lawyers School is an educational program designed to help newly admitted lawyers entering the legal profession build practical skills and grow steadily.
The training consisted of five programs focused on practical topics for newly admitted lawyers, including starting a practice, finding employment, working at law firms and as in-house counsel, and using artificial intelligence (AI).
Kim Woo-jung, vice president of the Korean Association of Legal Professionals, and Na Seong-yoon, its public relations director, lectured on how to succeed as a young lawyer. Other programs included “Building a Strong Foundation as a Lawyer,” “Surviving at a Law Firm,” “Succeeding as In-House Counsel,” and “How Young Lawyers Can Use AI,” with a focus on Claude Code.
The Korean Association of Legal Professionals plans to make the Young Lawyers School a regular practical training program for newly admitted and young lawyers.
Yonghyun Chae, chair of the Korean Association of Legal Professionals, said, “What newly admitted lawyers are most curious about in the field is not legal theory, but the practical question of what they should do and how they should do it tomorrow. We organized this program hoping that senior lawyers would directly share their experiences and know-how, and that newly admitted lawyers would be able to find concrete answers about their future careers and practical work.”
