The Court Administration Office (Chief Cheon Dae-yeop) and the Ministry of Personnel Management (Chief Kim Seung-ho) signed a "Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the Joint Use of PSAT Questions for the First Examination of the Court Administration Higher Examination" at the Supreme Court on the 30th.

Starting next year, with the abolition of Civil Law and Criminal Law subjects and the introduction of the Public Service Aptitude Test (PSAT) in the first examination of the Court Administration Higher Examination, the core of this agreement is to jointly utilize the Constitution, Verbal Reasoning, Data Interpretation, and Situational Judgment questions from the Grade 5 Open Recruitment Examination conducted by the Ministry of Personnel Management.

To this end, the Court Administration Office amended the Court Officials Rules on March 28 to establish the legal basis for joint or consigned administration of the examination. Through this agreement, the Court Administration Office will receive comprehensive support from the Ministry of Personnel Management regarding the preparation, printing, objection handling, and finalization of answers for the Constitution and PSAT subjects.

Chief Cheon Dae-yeop of the Administration Office said, "I hope this agreement will serve as an opportunity for capable talents who meet the public’s expectations to be selected, and for both institutions to cooperate and develop further."

A representative of the Court Administration Office stated, "The Ministry of Personnel Management’s abundant experience and expertise in PSAT question development will be the foundation for selecting competent talents with comprehensive understanding and reasoning skills in the court official recruitment process."
