Daeryun launches ‘School Violence Response Group’… Establishment of a one-stop integrated response system

Daeryun Law Firm announced on the 28th that it has launched the ‘School Violence Response Group’, a dedicated organization that covers the entire process from initial response to school violence incidents to dispute resolution and psychological recovery.

Recently, school violence disputes are expanding beyond the School Violence Countermeasures Review Committee (School Violence Committee) into a ‘complex war’ that combines administrative, criminal, and civil matters. According to data from the Ministry of Education, the number of administrative lawsuits filed against the school violence committee increased from 255 cases in 2021 to 628 cases in 2023, an increase of approximately 2.5 times in two years. As school violence disputes become more structurally complex, the need for a more systematic and professional response is increasing.

In line with this trend, Daeryun's School Violence Response Group operates a ‘one-stop support system’ that goes beyond simple legal assistance and connects professional infrastructure. In addition to analyzing evidence through the digital forensics center, we plan to organically provide psychological recovery support through professional counselors and personal protection services using security personnel to take responsibility for students' safe return to daily life.

The head of the group is lawyer Cho Young-sam, a former judge of the juvenile division of the Chuncheon District Court. Attorney Cho heard many cases of juvenile protection and juvenile detention while serving as a judge, and is an expert who is well-versed in the flow of juvenile justice practice.

Attorney Park Gyu-seok, a former prosecutor, also joined the group. Attorney Park is in charge of special crimes and juvenile cases at the Chungju Branch of the Cheongju District Prosecutors' Office, and has dealt with major issues and investigative practices in the process of converting school violence cases into criminal procedures.

While working at the Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education, Attorney Nae-jeong Na worked as a working-level member of the school violence countermeasures committee and a student disciplinary coordinator, and gained practical experience in overall procedures and disciplinary and protective measures at the education office level.

Attorney Daewon Kim, a lawyer specializing in school violence registered with the Korean Bar Association, is serving as a member of the school violence response deliberation committee of the Incheon Metropolitan City Southern Office of Education, and has in-depth practical capabilities in the school violence committee deliberation structure and judgment standards.

CEO Kim Kook-il said, “School violence cases are high-level disputes in which juvenile justice, education administration, and investigative procedures operate simultaneously,” and added, “Daeryun has continuously advanced its response system based on its professional staff, practical experience, and infrastructure.” He then emphasized, “We will present practical solutions so that students and families can return to a comfortable daily life through a school violence response group with a one-stop support system.”
