Daejeon District Court Decision 98No2390 delivered on May 27, 1999
The appeal is dismissed.
The grounds of appeal by the defense counsel are examined.
Examining the evidence adopted by the judgment of the court of first instance maintained by the court below and the court of first instance in light of the records, the measures that the court below affirmed the judgment of the court of first instance which found the defendant guilty of each crime in the judgment of the court of first instance are just, and it cannot be said that there were errors in violation of the rules of evidence or in violation of the provisions of Articles 7(1), 12(7), 27(4) and 103 of the Constitution

In this regard, the court below is just in applying Article 90 subparagraph 2 of the Attorney-at-law Act,
In addition, as long as the defendant's decision-making acts constitute acts subject to the Attorney-at-Law Act's regulation beyond the scope of legitimate business activities as attorneys-at-law, they cannot be said to be justifiable acts that do not violate social rules and regulations.
The grounds of appeal are without merit.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
