How do I apply for a stalking restraining order?

A month ago, my ex-boyfriend began coming to see me again, asking to get back together. He waits in front of my school and my studio apartment every time. Sometimes he even comes to the place where I work part time. It is frightening, I am conscious of other people's stares, and I feel so anxious that I cannot bear it. I want to apply for a stalking restraining order, so how should I apply? And if I apply for a restraining order, does that completely prevent the offender from coming near me? I would appreciate a response.

Are there points to note when drafting a non-disclosure agreement?

Recently, our company developed its own proprietary technology and is actively using it in our business. To prevent leakage of the technology, we are trying to draw up non-disclosure agreements with our internal employees.

I want to defend against a compensation for assault damages lawsuit.

A year ago, my son, a second-year middle school student, assaulted an academy teacher, and it nearly went to trial, but in the end it was resolved well with the victim's side through a covenant not to sue. However, last week I suddenly received notice that the victim's side had filed a damages claim lawsuit. Wait, if a covenant not to sue was made and they even took a settlement and consolation money of 30 million won, should it not end there? Do I need to defend against a compensation for assault damages lawsuit?

I am facing a rape charge. Would the criminal deposit system be meaningful?

I did not commit rape at all, yet after having consensual sexual relations, she filed a criminal complaint against me for rape. But then the police believed only the woman's account and referred me to the prosecution on a rape charge.. I have undergone the prosecution's investigation and am now facing trial.. It is unfair, but it seems I should do something to avoid imprisonment, so I looked into it and found something called the criminal deposit system? I heard that it can be refunded if a not-guilty verdict is rendered, so would it be better to use the criminal deposit system first?
