Since this paper is the first work to remember Prof. Lee's academic achievements and the impact on criminal law academic community, I tried to faithfully organize and provide his academic achievements and to start point for future research. Therefore, this paper first reviews his life and academic research and writing activities of Professor Lee. Therefore, in this paper, Lee's life and academic research and writing activities are first reviewed, and the criminal law theory and academic interests of his are reviewed too. And this paper attempted to consider the criminal justice, penal justice and think the issue which impact on the criminal scholar to improve criminal law. Professor Lee's criminal law theory was examined in order of physical act theory, criminal theory, illegality theory and liability theory, and attempted criminal and accomplice theory. Professor Lee's criminal theory can be organized as a harmonious, practicalist criminal perspective rather than a confrontation between subjectivism and objectivism. Professor Lee who was a practitioner and scholar, insisted on criminal ideas to interpret the law for fitting Korean situation, rather than theoretical debate. In addition to the theoretical interest in the general theory of criminal law, he also showed his affection for the study of penal theory such as probation and rehabilitative theory and Penal law. He also demonstrated his practical criminal theory through the formation of case study groups, study activities where he studied legal systems in other countries to compare law.
