The National Assembly has an organization called the Legislative Investigator who gives opinions when legislators make laws. The lawyer was appointed as deputy dean here, and I persuaded him to get a court ruling against his client, and after a week he moved to the other firm's law firm.

There is a controversy as to whether or not it violated the lawyer 's ethics regulations.

The 68 - year - old Kim Il - suk filed a lawsuit in 2015, claiming he had taken money from Mr.

The trial court rejected Kim 's request because of lack of evidence, and Kim submitted the appeal in August of last year.

At the second meeting, when the co - worker A found the circumstances in which Mr. Kim sneaked the money, the court presented the adjustment procedure.

At that time, Mr. Kim's attorney was Kim Ha-jung, a lawyer who was recently appointed to the deputy head of the National Assembly's legislative investigation.

Kim insisted that he persuaded Kim to accept that he could lose in the second round if Kim refused to do so.

[Kim Il-suk / Kim Ha-jung attorney client: 'You can get lost because of a crime. Then you told me that you have to pay for the defendant's court costs, and you have such a cost. "

Kim accepted the arbitration in the persuasion of Kim 's lawyer, but Kim soon realized that Kim attended the law firm that represented his opponent.

Mr. Kim 's trial was adjudicated on June 12, 2018, and Mr. Kim joined the firm on June 18, just six days later.

[Kim Il-suk / Kim Ha-jung] My client: 'I was not my lawyer, he was a lawyer, and I have such a bad person'.

As a result of the interview, Kim has been transferred to a building with a foreign law firm in September 2017, shortly after he took the case, confirming that he shared his office space.

Kim said, "I had a separate lease contract with my partner firm and the office, but I took a proposal for a recruitment during the lawsuit."

"It's not a problem at all," he said. "I did not have any unnecessary contacts between the two after completing the lawsuit for trust with the client."

However, the description of the person who worked with the law firm before Kim's appointment is different.

"Kim was trying to get rid of the lawsuits that were held before or after the meeting with the other members of the law firm and held regular meetings and were in charge of entering the foreign law firm sooner."

[Lee Seung Tae / Former Vice-Chancellor Ethics Director: I have a problem with who can trust that if I work on the condition that I work in the other lawyer's office. If you have not been informed (to the client), you can not help but consider it a breach of sincerity.]

The National Assembly Steering Committee will hold a meeting tomorrow to agree on the appointment of Kim's lawyer to the next head of the legislative investigation.
