Seoul Metropolitan Council Signs MOU with Seoul Bar Association to Enhance Legal Protection for Seoul Citizens

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Kim In-ho, Chairman of the Seoul Metropolitan Council, received a plaque of appreciation from the Seoul Bar Association (President Kim Jung-wook) on the 3rd in recognition of his efforts to improve the treatment of public institution advisory lawyers.

In July last year, the Seoul Metropolitan Council amended the "Seoul Metropolitan Council Legislative and Legal Advisory Operation Ordinance" to improve the treatment of public institution advisory lawyers, which had been frozen or largely unchanged for the past 10 years, in order to enhance the quality of legal advice.

The Seoul Bar Association evaluated that the Seoul Metropolitan Council's efforts served as a signal for improving the unrealistic treatment of advisory lawyers in public institutions nationwide, and decided to award plaques of appreciation to Kim In-ho, Chairman of the Seoul Metropolitan Council, and Assemblyman Noh Sik-rae, who proposed the amendment.

On this occasion, the Seoul Metropolitan Council will strengthen the cooperative relationship between the two organizations by signing a joint memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Seoul Bar Association.

The two organizations plan to mutually cooperate in areas such as ▲ enhancing the legal protection of Seoul citizens ▲ responding to legal disputes related to the Seoul Metropolitan Council and its members ▲ expanding and improving the treatment of advisory lawyers for the Seoul Metropolitan Council.

Main agreement items

① Mutual cooperation regarding legal disputes involving the Seoul Metropolitan Council and its members

② Matters concerning the expansion and improvement of treatment for advisory lawyers of the Seoul Metropolitan Council

③ Cooperation between the two organizations to enhance the legal protection of Seoul citizens

Kim In-ho, Chairman of the Seoul Metropolitan Council, stated, “Improving the treatment of lawyers advising public institutions raises the quality of legislation and improves the lives of Seoul citizens,” adding, “In the current situation where indiscriminate lawsuits and accusations against the Seoul Metropolitan Council and its members are frequent, we will actively cooperate with the Seoul Bar Association to ensure strict legal responses and normal legislative activities, striving to strengthen local autonomy and protect citizens.”
