Kyung Hee UniversityTowards Global Eminence
Since its establishment in 1949, Kyung Hee University has
developed into a comprehensive education system that ranges from
kindergarten to graduate school. Three campuses actually constitute
the University: the tree-lined 245-acre Seoul Campus, the 510-acre
Global Campus situated along the shores of beautiful Singal Lake in
Suwon, and the 12-acre Kwangnung Campus nestled in a serene
environment to the north of Seoul. Dr. Young-Seek Choue, the
Chancellor-Founder of the Kyung Hee University System, founded
the university on the idea that the barriers that insulate academia
from society must be broken, and he strove to impart to students
not only academic knowledge, but also an awareness of their
responsibilities to the global society. This belief was manifest in the
University’s founding philosophy of creating a “New Civilized World”
and in the University motto, “Democratization of School, Ideas, and
Living.” By upholding his philosophy and maintaining his vision,
the University has succeeded not only in international scholarly
endeavors, but in bringing mankind one step closer to universal
peace and understanding.

MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE AT KYUNG HEE UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL
Kyung Hee University Law School was founded on the spirit and purpose of raising excellent legal
professionals equipped with the leadership in the global era and zeal to service the society and nation. The
ever-developing information and communication technology and globalization, along with the opening of the
legal market, have created the demand for internationally competitive lawyers.
Kyung Hee University Law School and its highly decorated legal scholars have focused on providing
the first-rate legal education to students, resulting in the record 100% passage rate in the first National
Bar Examination in 2012, and still maintain the highest passage rate. Our alumni are actively engaged in
professional endeavors in courts, prosecutor’s offices, law firms, public institutions and corporations. Since the
inception, Kyung Hee University Law School has proactively adapted to and prepared for changes in the legal
environment in Korea, firmly establishing ourselves as one of the premier law schools in Korea.
What makes Kyung Hee University Law School extraordinary can be described in several aspects:
First, the faculty of Kyung Hee University Law School comprises professors highly recognized for their
practical and theoretical expertise, devoted to raising highly competent legal professionals, especially in the
area of corporate law practice.
Second, the top-notch facility and educational system work together to provide the environment
conducive for students to hone skills and in-depth knowledge of the law.
Third, the community of undergraduate and law school students and alumni, as well as university
administrators, maintain effective and collaborative relationship to support the development and education of
students, resulting in visible achievements in employment, practical training and educational fund-raising.
Fourth, strong relationships we have forged with law firms, public entities and corporations will greatly
contribute to the efforts to raise legal professionals who can meet the challenges in today’s society, with a high-
level of skills and profound insights.

IntroductionTowards Global Eminence

Kyung Hee University Law School (KHLS) is situated
in Seoul, the capital of the Republic of Korea. As a center
of trade, finance and technological innovation, Seoul is a
leading center of trade, finance and technological innovation
in the global economy. Increasingly, Seoul is a magnet for
foreign investment and multinational enterprises.
KHLS offers a first-rate professional education in
legal sciences and strives to produce highly trained students
whose legal expertise will contribute to societal well-
being. To this end, the program focuses on the principles
and practice of law in general, as well as on the specifics
of Korean law. Our forward-looking curriculum includes
contemporary areas of interest, such as intellectual property
law, economic law and environmental law.
The economic realities of globalization require that
KHLS graduates be well prepared for the complex legal
relationships involved in diverse foreign legal cultures. As
a result of the World Trade Organization’s liberalization of
international trade, law firms and business organizations
have placed a higher demand than ever before on experts
on international legal affairs. To better prepare for the
internationalization of legal practice, KHLS has committed
substantial resources to the study of international and
comparative law. Students may take various courses in
transnational and global legal studies focusing on business
law. Students interested in international cross-border issues
may apply for the Graduate School of International Legal
Affairs at Seoul campus.
In addition to its regular curriculum, KHLS offers
a variety of special opportunities including participation
in moot court, observation tours to courts, mock bar
examinations and group study during semester breaks.
KHLS ultimately prepares students, upon completion of
a master’s degree, for doctoral law programs, the bar
examination, the higher civil service examination and various
careers in the legal profession.

Life at KHLS
The City
The School of Law is situated in Seoul, the capital of the Republic of Korea. Seoul means “capital” in
archaic Korean language. With a population of more than ten million, Seoul today is a modern metropolis
with many first-class hotels. It is a city of contrasts: bustling traffic runs alongside quiet palace gardens,
and modern skyscrapers tower over centuries-old royal shrines. Four palaces from the Chosun
Dynasty(1392-1897), all with lovely gardens still remaining, provide visitors the opportunity to enjoy the
elegant architecture of ancient Korea.
Housing
• On Campus housing: There are two on-campus housing options at KHLS, both of which are available
to international and Korean students. Sehwawon Dormitory, opened in March 2005, is modern and
convenient. A room with a bathroom is shared by two students. The dormitory can accommodate 432
students in total. Preference will be given to students from the University’s sister institutions abroad
and Korean students who show high academic achievement. Sehjinwon Law School Dormitory
opened in September 2009 with the most up-to-date facilities and can accommodate 64 students in
total.
• Off-Campus Housing: Although students are strongly encouraged to live in a dormitory. One-and Two
-room studio apartment can be rented on a monthly basis. These apartments can also be leased using
a monthly rental key money system known as Joen-Sae. Boarding houses are also off-campus housing
options. Some boarding houses include meals and laundry service. The cost depends on the number
of people per room, the number of meals, and the type of laundry service. Private boarding houses
in Korea require a deposit, which caries from 10 to 20 times the actual monthly rent. However, this
deposit is returned at the end of the lease.
Student Activities
• Students can pursue academic and extra-curricular interests through a variety of clubs and
organizations. Joining a club or organization is as simple as attending a meeting and expressing the
interest. Most of the club offices are located in the Student Center Building next to Crown Hall / College
of Music.
• International students are welcome to join the International Friendship & Culture Club (IFCC), supported
by the Center for International Exchanges, which holds regularly scheduled meetings, welcoming
parties, field trips, sports activities and other activities.
