[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Song Jong-gu] On the 14th, the Department of Law at Gyeongnam National University held the "Gyeongnam National University Department of Law Mock Trial" in Criminal Mock Courtroom No. 220 at Masan Branch of Changwon District Court.

This mock trial, organized by the Department of Law at Gyeongnam National University to revitalize legal education and provide students with courtroom argument experience, was conducted with the participation of all enrolled students taking the law course "Comprehensive Legal System Design."

The mock trial on this day dealt with the socially topical issue of "voice phishing," focusing on the detailed issues of "the admissibility of entrapment investigations" and "restrictive interpretation of fraud charges."

The students who prepared the mock trial directly set up a "voice phishing criminal trial scenario" and reenacted in court whether a guilty verdict could be imposed.

Kwon Ki-cheol, Chief Judge of Masan Branch of Changwon District Court, said, "I extend words of encouragement to all Gyeongnam National University students who prepared this mock trial, which linked the timely topic of voice phishing with issues of entrapment investigations and restrictive interpretation of fraud charges," adding, "I hope all students keep in mind that a proper criminal trial is one that issues a verdict that anyone can accept after hearing all the defendant's stories."

Following this, Son Joo-wan, Judicial Administration Support Judge, who was in charge of the review, helped students understand by providing detailed feedback on the differences between actual trials and the students' mock trials.

Jung Jeong-bin, Chair of the Department of Law at Gyeongnam National University, said, "I hope that through the criminal law mock trial, students experience the concretization of theory, precedents, and procedures, and that it serves as an opportunity for them to develop interest in other laws as well."

After the mock trial, a session was held for communication between students and about ten court officials, including Chief Judge Kwon Ki-cheol, Judge Son Joo-wan, and other court staff, discussing court official life and preparation for court official positions.
