We examine the grounds of appeal.
Since the preparation of a statement, a petition, a written agreement, etc. related to the affairs of the court and the public prosecutor's office is prepared, it belongs to the scope of the affairs of the judicial secretary, and the administrative secretary cannot engage in the preparation of such documents as a business.
As the judgment of the court of first instance affirmed by the court below, if the defendant is not a judicial secretary and is commissioned by many and unspecified persons including this Decree of the prosecution during the period of the judgment, or if he receives the remuneration of the judgment from the clients after preparing a statement, a petition, a written agreement, etc. of the criminal case, which is a document related to the affairs of the court and the prosecutor's office, or documents related to the affairs of the court and the prosecutor's office, it shall be in violation of
