The revised edition of the textbook '2026 Real Estate Appraiser Civil Law Basics (8th Edition)' has been published by Parkmungak Publishing Co., Ltd.


In the specialized field of emotional assessment, the focus is on acquiring basic knowledge to understand relevant laws and regulations.
In this book, we have organized articles and precedents centered on basic legal concepts in line with the direction of the questions for this purpose, and have refrained from describing conflicting theories to make it suitable for learning.

This textbook analyzes past exam questions from the Certified Real Estate Appraiser Examination through 2025, the Bar Examination through 2016, the Judicial Service Examination for the past six years, the Patent Attorney Examination and Court Promotion Examination through 2025, the Bar Examination, and the Judicial Scrivener Examination, reflecting relevant passages and case law through June 2025.

This book analyzes and organizes leading case law and basic and important case law within the scope necessary for the exam.
This allows for a clearer organization of case law and long-term memory.
In addition, we have tried to ensure that the exact content of the case law is familiar by quoting the original text for specific key points rather than introducing or condensing the intent of the case law as much as possible.

I wish all test takers success in their exams.
