일제하 조선변호사시험 합격자에 관한 연구

Abstract

This article is a study on those who passed the Chosun Bar Examination[朝鮮辯護士試驗] under Japanese colonial rule. The Chosun Bar Examination, which was ‘The gateway to self-taught’ under the Japanese colonial rule, was conducted from 1922 to 1945, and a total of 199 people passed the exam. By 1944, out of a total of 5,622 applicants, 199 were the finalists. This was a very difficult exam with a passing rate of 3.5%. The average number of successful applicants is 8.6. If we look at only Koreans, there are a total of 134+@, and the average annual average is about 6 people. The educational background of those who pass the Chosun Bar Examination The educational background of the guardian is 64% of the total from universities such as Imperial University, vocational school, and Japanese private university, and if this includes graduates of normal school and high school, it reaches about 80%. Considering the situation of colonial Chosun, it was not on the low side. As a single school, the highest number of students were from Keijo Special School of Law[京城法學專門學校] with 30 students. The occupations of those who passed the Chosun Bar Exam were about 70% in the order of court clerk, teacher, county officials[郡屬], police officer, and professional profession. Looking at the pass process, the first is a general case, after graduating from Keijo Special college of Law and going through a court clerk, second after graduating from a teacher’s school, taking an exam as a teacher, and third, after passing the general civil service exam and going through the ounty officials. Therefore, their socio-economic background was relatively low compared to the fact that most of the people who graduated from Imperial University and Japanese private universities and passed the Department of Torture and Justice were from the upper classes. However, they are not in the same situation as the general public, so they can be viewed as at least the middle and lower classes. Except for a few, it wasn’t a ‘dragon from the river’. Those who passed the Chosun Bar Examination can be divided into the first generation, the 3.1 movement generation, who passed the early stage, and the second generation, the Gwangju(光州) student movement generation, who passed the mid-term. The 3.1 movement generation actively participated in the trial of the anti-Japanese movement case and participated in the anti-Japanese argument. Although a small minority of the Gwangju Student Movement generation directly participated in the student movement, they also participated in the trial of the anti-Japanese movement incident in general. However, when the war system was put into operation after the Sino-Japanese War, most lawyers walked the so-called “middle road” or went pro-Japanese.
