Jipyong to Publish ‘Republic and Public Opinion’ in Celebration of Honorary Managing Partner Kong Hyun LEE Becoming a Septuagenarian

2022.10.12

In celebration of Jipyong Honorary Managing Partner Kong Hyun LEE becoming a septuagenarian, Jipyong has published an anthology titled ‘Republic and Public Opinion’. 
 
The anthology contains many works reflecting Mr. Kong Hyun LEE’s philosophy. Starting with a conversation between Kong Hyun LEE and Attorney Bong Kwan SA, the book consists of various columns and articles focusing on the issues in the constitution and administration areas, written by Jipyong attorneys in the constitution and administration teams. 
 
Honorary Managing Partner Kong Hyun LEE is a former judge (from 1973 to 2005) and a former Justice of the Constitutional Court of Korea (from 2005 to 2011). He also served as a member and Korean representative of the Venice Commission, a legal advisory body under the Council of Europe in 2005, when he was a Justice of the Constitutional Court. As a member of the Venice Commission, he contributed to the establishment of the democratic system, such as the constitutional trial system, human rights laws, and electoral system, etc. 
 
After joining Jipyong in 2011, he represented clients in constitutional and administrative litigation proceedings based on his extensive understanding of the Constitution, and various regulations, including laws applicable to major industries, helping people seeking a remedy of their rights and contributing to the advancement of the free and fair market economy by establishing the legitimacy and propriety of the state’s regulations limiting freedom of enterprise. In particular, he represented petitioners in several constitutional petitions that dealt with laws and policies that may be deemed unconstitutional and obtained the Constitutional Court’s decision of unconstitutionality in many cases, including the lease provisions under the Civil Act, the judge appointment provision under the Court Organization Act, and the provisions under the Public Official Election Act and the Community Credit Cooperatives Act. Such decisions were highly meaningful to our society. 
 
Jipyong Managing Partner Sung Won YOON said, “the publication of Government and Public Opinion represents our efforts to realize our vision to become a 'trustworthy law firm that satisfies clients’ needs with a higher level of expertise,’ ‘a law firm that commits to professional excellence along with exceptional client service and create a ‘warmer’ relationship with clients,” and will contribute to achieving our visions.”
