Dong-A University Law School produces seven passers for judge, prosecutor and law clerk positions, proving its standing as a leading legal institution

[Financial News] Dong-A University Law School produced a total of seven successful candidates in the 2027 public-service appointment exams in the legal field: one judge, five prosecutors and one judicial research officer (law clerk).
Dong-A University said on the 9th that Shin Su-min, an alumnus of the law school’s ninth cohort, had passed the final examination for appointment as a judge, and that Kim Si-hyeon, an alumnus of the 13th cohort who is serving as a military legal officer, had also passed the examination for appointment as a prosecutor.
In addition, four students, including Lee Seong-ung of the 16th cohort, who is due to graduate next February, passed the prosecutor appointment examination, while one person was named to the list of successful candidates for judicial research officer positions.
Dong-A University held a congratulatory meeting for the successful candidates in the president’s office at its Bumin Campus on the 6th, inviting them and offering encouragement ahead of their appointments.
After producing a record 12 successful candidates for public-service positions last year—the most since its establishment—Dong-A University Law School has again produced candidates across the judge, prosecutor and judicial research officer fields this year, demonstrating its competitiveness as a leading institution for training legal professionals.
The school has been particularly successful in prosecutor appointments, producing four candidates in each of two consecutive years, 2024 and 2025, followed by seven in 2026 and five in 2027. It has also achieved steady results in the judicial research officer field, with three successful candidates from the 14th cohort and four from the 15th, as well as candidates this year.
These results are seen as reflecting the systematic instruction and tailored one-on-one guidance provided by full-time faculty with practical experience in the prosecution service and courts, backed by financial support from the university administration and improvements to the learning infrastructure.
The law school is also continuing its upward trend in the bar examination. This year, Dong-A University Law School produced a total of 73 successful candidates, a record high, and the 15th cohort achieved a first-time pass rate of 55.6%.
“The dedicated guidance of our professors, together with the efforts of our students and alumni, has led to remarkable success in public-service appointments year after year,” President Lee Hae-woo said. “I will spare no effort to provide full support so that Dong-A University can become a leading hub for training legal professionals representing Korea.”
