Law School follows the lives of students attending a renowned law school. One such student is Kang Sol A, a first-year student who is awkward but determined; she wishes to prove Assemblyman Ko is not responsible for murdering someone.
Yang Jong-hoon, an ex-prosecutor and professor at a law school. He specializes in criminal law teaching techniques and can often be quite demanding with his students.
The name
Kang Sol A (Ryu Hye-young) is a first-year law school student admitted through special admission. She is good friends with Ye-seul and Erica Shin, both twin sisters being brilliant minds with rare blood types respectively.
Professor Yang Jong Hoon, a criminal law professor and former elite prosecutor, can be harsh with his students. His methods aim to test their resolve while encouraging independent thinking – making him an unpopular figure at school. His harsh words make him unpopular among some members.
Assemblyman Ko takes action against his students by publishing news articles about them and even asking for a pathology professor at their school to conduct another autopsy report on one of their classmates, sparking alarm amongst students.
The location
Kang Dan is widely considered one of the premier law schools in South Korea, known for sending its graduates into top legal professions. Students at Kang Dan are fiercely competitive while its professors can be challenging; among the latter ranks is Yang Jong Hoon – an expert criminal law prosecutor and one of the more intimidating professors at Kang Dan.
Another challenge lies in the lack of romance among students, an issue which often manifests itself in student lounges. Students may fear visiting these spaces because of possible theft, making this issue all the more vexing; therefore, schools must come up with solutions.
Joon-hwi discovers where the malicious remarks are coming from and confronts Assemblyman Ko. He then informs Ji-ho that his father would never embezzle money and vows to make Kang Sol A pay for her wrongdoing; unfortunately, however, his plan backfires as it turns out she’s another student altogether who has nothing to do with any illegal behavior at school.
The reputation
Kang Dan Law School students and professors are widely respected, striving to be honest and ethical in their work while working tirelessly on honing legal analysis and advocacy skills through mock trials.
Professor Yang is an unwavering criminal law professor and former elite prosecutor, known for challenging his students by placing them in difficult situations that will test their resolve and encourage independent thinking. Professor Yang often provokes his students, yet remains an excellent educator overall. He likes putting them through these experiences that test their resolve while stimulating independent thought.
Ye-seul, a first-year law student, strives to maintain her honorable standing among her classmates and faculty. Unfortunately, however, her early life was marred by difficulty due to being forced by her mother, while having an unknown familial link among the school administration that is kept hidden from classmates; one finds out anyway and posts an online video accusing Assemblyman Ko of plagiarism as payback against his teasing classmates.
The students
Kang Dan Law School students are smart and determined. Working together, they’re working towards proving Professor Yang innocent of murder charges while supporting one another during difficult times. Kang Sol A is a first-year student who overcame poverty to attend law school; though awkward at times, she always supports her friends and classmates–especially Han Joon-hwi (top grades but keeps many secrets) whom she especially cares for while supporting Assemblyman Go’s son Jeon Ye-seul who suffers dating abuse from the abuser.
Professor Yang is a well-respected law teacher who believes in his students. Often placing them in stressful situations to test their character and develop critical thinking, when one of his students dies during a mock trial he becomes the prime suspect for murdering it; Kang Sol A and Han Joon-hwi work together to find evidence against Professor Yang and establish his innocence.
