Legal Consulting Agreement to Strengthen Teacher Status
Service area
Lawyer
On March 7, 2024, Mr. Ungchae Jung, partner attorney at Cha & Kwon Law Offices signed a legal consulting contract with Okjeong Elementary School in Seoul as part of the 1 Lawyer for 1 School system.
The Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education has been implementing the one-lawyer-per-school system in all schools in Seoul since this year as a way to strengthen the status of teachers. Our relationship with Okjeong Elementary School began when we conducted research with the principal on how to operate the Teachers' Rights Protection Committee as required by the Teachers' Status Act, and we continue to strengthen our expertise in the field of teacher status.
The legal disputes that arise for frontline teachers are not just limited to educational activities but are deeply connected to their daily lives. For this reason, there is a need for comprehensive consulting for teachers. Cha & Kwon Law Offices are continuing to research and make efforts to help teachers in general.
