  YU Law School recently graduated three people passing the 2022 new prosecutors exam that the Ministry of Justice recently announced.

  Since its founding, YU Law School has continuously graduated prosecutors since its first batch of students, and now has a total of 13 graduates who have become prosecutors. In this new prosecutors exam, Park Byung-hoon (35), Lee Seon-yeop (33), and Sohn A-ryeong (26) who will be graduating in February of next year placed their names on the list.

  These students who will be appointed as new prosecutors in 2022 said, “Trusting and following the professors according to the systematic education program of the YU Law School has led to such good results. In addition to studies, YU also provided special care in many areas such as life on campus and psychological counseling, thus making it possible to concentrate on studies during our three-year program. The knowledge and experience gained at the YU Law School will be a great platform for our lives as legal professionals.”

  YU has been continuously recording outstanding achievements in the bar exam passing rate since its founding. It took second place in the 10th bar examinations in terms of national passing rates (for 10th Law School class). It has been ranking first and second place in the national bar exam passing rate over the past three years, ranking first for the 9th bar exam and second in the 8th bar exam, solidifying its status as a prestigious law school of Korea. Such achievements have led to higher competition rates for admissions into the Law School. The admissions competition to the Law School for 2022 that was closed in early October was 10.5 to 1, which was the second highest in the nation.

  YU President CHOI Oe-chool said, “The YU Law School has been maintaining the top ranks in various indicators including the bar exam passing rate, as it solidifies it status as a prestigious law school. The devotion of professors and hard work of students are what is driving the status of YU Law School.” He added, “The university will also provide assertive support to foster legal professionals who take the initiative to realize social justice."
