Sajunmo "Won Lawsuit to Disclose Information on Seoul National University Law School Applicants' Alma Maters... Will Make It Public"

Seoul National University.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] The Association of Judicial Examination Preparatory Students (Sajunmo) filed a lawsuit against Seoul National University (SNU) for refusing to disclose information about law school applicants' alma maters and ages, and won the case.

On the 4th, Sajunmo issued a press release stating, "The Seoul Administrative Court canceled SNU's refusal to disclose information and ruled in favor of the plaintiff, ordering the defendant to bear the litigation costs."

In February of this year, Sajunmo requested information from SNU regarding the alma maters and ages of applicants to SNU Law School over the past five years, but SNU refused, stating, "We do not manage such data." Consequently, Sajunmo filed an administrative lawsuit in March at the Seoul Administrative Court to cancel the refusal to disclose information.

Sajunmo added, "If the ruling is finalized, we will receive the information from SNU Law School and disclose it to the public in the interest of the people's right to know," and "We will also request information disclosure from other law schools such as Yonsei University and Korea University and make it public to the people."
