Yeungnam University School of Law (President Choi Oechul) announced on November 5 that its graduates had passed the final selection process for 11 new prosecutors, three experienced prosecutors, nine judicial research officers (law clerks), and one judge in 2026.

Yeungnam University said, "The combined number of successful candidates for new prosecutor and law clerk positions is equivalent to about 29% of the law school's enrollment quota. This achievement is seen as demonstrating not merely the number of students who passed the exams, but also an educational system that systematically develops each student's abilities and the school's capacity to train legal professionals." It added, "Close guidance from faculty and tailored learning support for each student have been key to these results."

Yeungnam University School of Law has helped students assess their academic progress through regular diagnostic assessments and address individual areas of weakness by linking faculty advising with one-on-one academic guidance. Practical instruction from faculty members with experience as judges and prosecutors, as well as practicing legal professionals, along with feedback on coursework in courtroom practice, has also contributed to the school's success in placing graduates in legal positions, including as prosecutors and law clerks.

Choi Jaewon, a third-year student at Yeungnam University School of Law who passed the final prosecutor selection exam this year, said, "I will continue learning and reflecting so that I can become a legal professional who protects people's rights and upholds justice in society. Drawing on my expertise as a legal professional, I will work to resolve conflicts in our society fairly and fulfill my role in bringing about positive change in our community."

In the 2023 third-cycle evaluation of law schools, Yeungnam University School of Law received accreditation in recognition of the quality of its operations and education. The evaluation was conducted by the Korean Bar Association's Law School Evaluation Committee, which comprehensively assessed law schools nationwide in areas including curricula, faculty, student advising, scholarship programs, facilities, and operational systems.
