Abstract
This chapter reflects on the reality and prospects of a liberal arts education in law in Korean society, focusing on the case of Handong Global University (HGU). As a full-time professor who has been engaging in legal education at HGU for the past 24 years, the author attempts to critically analyze HGU’s efforts and achievements based on his personal reflections and experiences. To this end, the chapter will begin with a brief introduction of the unique historical-institutional context in which the agenda of a liberal arts education in law has been formed in Korean society. It will then introduce Amherst College’s attempt on legal education as a reference to HGU’s effort and further discuss HGU’s liberal arts education in law in detail. The chapter will conclude with lessons learned from HGU’s case.
