Development of Pro Bono in Korea 2017 PILNet Global Forum Takgon Lee

Advent of Public Interest Law and Public Interest Lawyers Tradition of ‘human rights lawyers’ representing democracy movement Democratization in late 1980s and expansion of civil society Concept of ‘public interest law’ vocalized in mid-1990s In 2004, Gonggam was established with focus on social minorities Other public interest lawyer groups established

Emergence of Law Firm Pro Bono Law firm’s growth in mid 2000s and corresponding demand from the civil society for the law firms to fulfill their social responsibilities BKL founded the Dongcheon Foundation, a ‘public interest law foundation’ in 2009, the first to hire full-time pro bono attorney(s) Other major law firms have followed suit Emphasis on legal support for social minorities

Korean Society Today Still a vibrant democracy, but widening wealth gap NGO’s role and importance weakening Insufficient tolerance for social minorities

Access to Justice for Social Minorities State-subsidized legal aid does not sufficiently protect social minorities and is an inadequate driver to push for legal reform and conduct strategic litigation Public interest lawyers have been influential in advancing progressive agendas for social minorities

Challenges and Opportunities Number of young lawyers increasing steeply Competition among law firms intensifying Increased scrutiny from civil society ‘Peer pressure’ within major law firms Mandatory pro bono requirement Efforts for comprehensive pro bono coordination now taking place
