ClassHankyul 법무법인(유한) 클라스한결

The Constitution of the Republic of Korea designates and protects the most important of the people’s rights and freedoms as basic rights. When state authorities or local governments infringe upon the freedom of the people, a direct complaint may be filed with the Constitutional Court of Korea through a constitutional complaint. Contesting an issue from the perspective of constitutional rights and basic rights in the context of a constitutional complaint rather than from the perspective of an ordinary infringement of rights in the context of non-constitutional litigation is a very effective means of securing relief.

The Constitutional Court is a judicial entity responsible for active adjudication on alleged infringements upon the rights of the people. The Constitutional Court decides on constitutional complaints in a single-tier system, making such complaints a very effective means of securing relief. As such, considering constitutional complaints in addition to more ordinary means of relief available through civil, criminal or administrative litigation may prove to be a very powerful litigation strategy.

For such a strategy to succeed, however, expertise in constitutional law, basic rights and the system of constitutional complaints are of critical importance. ClassHankyul offers highest expertise in constitutional litigation, complaints and other areas of practice of constitutional law, helping our clients secure success in constitutional complaints and other types of litigation through utilization of the most promising litigation strategies and most compelling arguments.
