[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, expressed the view that reforming the law school system is an effective approach regarding the 'partial revival of the judicial examination system.'

On the 11th, during the '2nd TV Debate' hosted by the Korea Journalists Association, Yoon responded to Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party candidate, who advocated for the 'partial revival of the judicial examination system,' saying, "It seems to be part of the idea to broadly provide opportunities for 'dragons to rise from the gutter,' but currently, 2,000 lawyers graduate each year and still cannot find employment." He added, "I believe that expanding opportunities through special admissions and scholarship programs at law schools is an effective way."
