Legal Research Institute publishes the first issue of Small and
Mid-sized Companies and Laws
Legal Research Institute of Law School published the first
issue of Small and Mid-sized Companies and Laws, an academic journal.
Small
and Mid-sized Companies and Laws was launched to provide useful legal information to small and mid-sized
companies, also aiming to be added to the National Research Foundation of
Korea\\'s list of academic journals. The first issue featured articles on
financial conditions and risk faced by small businesses and the problem of
corporate ownership. In particular, works presented by Professors Horst Hammen
and Jens Mueller of Justus-Liebig University in Germany on corporate-owned shares
were introduced in detail. Yoon, Sunah (second semester in Law School), the
editor of the feature story of corporate-owned shares, said, “They introduce Germany\\'s
regulations on the extent of corporate-owned shares, the public announcement
system required when acquiring shares and administrative measures that control
the acquisition of shares to ensure fair competition and public security and
safeguard the financial sectors and institutions.”
The
Law School students are serving as the editors of this journal as in the case
of Harvard Law Review published by Harvard Law School. Yoon said, “It was not easy to look for
contributors, edit articles and handle the overall process of the publication
while attending classes, but it was a highly rewarding job. We will continue to
strive to become recognized as a practical academic journal and added to the
list of academic journals by the National Research Foundation of Korea." Small
and Mid-sized Companies and Laws are published twice a year, and the second
issue is scheduled to come out in December.
Ajou
University has opened the Legal Affairs Center of Small and Medium Business
even before the establishment of Law School to directly and indirectly support
small and mid-sized businesses within Gyeonggi-do with legal problems and to
foster legal experts specializing in small and mid-sized companies through a
wide range of training programs.
