Introduction

but also upon OtherAsian countries, and the global financial crisis of 2007 which originated from the US liquidity crisis, Korea successfully maintained its status as an �economic miracle'.

During the past few decades, the country has also expe­rienced dramatic changes in the political realm. There was a time when Korea regressed in terms of its democracy; yet on the whole, the nation has made grad­ual progress towards becoming a fully democratic society, and it is now safe to say that democracy has broadened and deepened in Korea more than ever before in its history. With success in both its economic and democratic reforms, Korea is often mentioned as a model for other developing countries.

Its newfound political and economic infrastructure laid a solid basis for the development of the rule of law.3 Drawing on the experiences of other nations and creatively adapting these lessons to its own context, Korea has developed a firm and sound legal system.4 Despite numerous difficulties, it has responded to the demand of the people for a more reasonable and fair society.5 It is against this backdrop that the legal system of Korea is explored in this chapter.
