“How to get away with murder” is an American courtroom drama from Nextflix. The protagonist is Annalise Keating, a law school professor at a fictional school named Middleton University in  Philadelphia who is a relentless criminal defense attorney for the accused. Keating carried law school classes based on an actual case she recently conducted. She takes some smart-looking interns to work in her firm office. Keating says after showing his students a herbivore that turns the documents the intern has hacked into legitimate evidence. "I did something illegal to win? So what? Keep in mind that we won because I did what I had to do'."

Of course, a professor should not teach law school students such a thing, but even having this working professor is not easy in Korea. It is because there are no 'practical professors' in the true sense of legal practices in law schools. Although the hiring ratio of industry professional professors (professors with a lawyer's license) is reflected as an important factor in the evaluation of law schools. However, as soon as those professors move to law school, they can no longer serve as litigation practitioners. Professors cannot stand in court, so students cannot have the chance to experience real practice lessons. If the professors were hired at the time the law school was launched (in 2009), now it has been 12 years since the professors left 'battlefield' - litigation practice. From a medical point of view, it is like a professor who has not been in the surgery room for 10 years telling students “Surgery is like this…” in a place that is not even an operating room. Also, it seems that the number of people who choose voluntary court practice training is gradually decreasing due to the pressure of the bar exam.

There is a movement to supplement the so-called 'legal clinic' in some law schools. However, since even a professor who is qualified as a lawyer cannot take on a formal case if he is in office, he is only indirectly assisting public interest cases in the nature of free pleading. It is highly probable that this is not an event of a 'good game' between veterans. The amendment to the Court Organization Act was rejected by the National Assembly because it was not reliable to appoint a judge with only five years of legal experience. In order to alleviate any concerns, the system needs to be improved so that 'real practical education' can be provided from the law school stage.

Therefore, the more real experience at the ‘battlefield’ of a lawyer, the more opportunities you can get to win your case.
