“If you don’t know, open your eyes and cut off your nose!”
Legal common sense that you need to know before you get into trouble

The sequel to 『Heobyeon's Minimum Legal Knowledge You'll Be Fooled If You Don't Know』, which was published in 2020 and was much loved by readers, has been published after five years.
We have covered new cases not previously covered, revised the material to comply with recent laws, and significantly supplemented the latest case law.
There is a saying that “the loudest voice wins,” but that is not the case in reality.
It is not the one who speaks loudly, but the one who knows the law well and uses it well who wins.
This book is a friendly legal knowledge book that helps you prevent injustice by making the law on your side and wisely resolve unexpected problems.

We'd all like to avoid legal disputes for the rest of our lives, but things don't always go our way, so sometimes we resort to court to settle disputes.
The author, a practicing attorney, advises that knowing just a little bit of legal common sense can help prevent potentially unfair situations and increase your chances of winning.
There's no need to rush to sue someone right away if there's no problem, but you should at least prepare yourself to avoid any potential losses.
If you study the legal knowledge essential to living through this book, you will never be fooled.

It is easy to think that the victim must personally prove the cause of the leak, but this is not the case.
According to the law, the management team must prove to Mr. B that the leak occurred in the exclusive area, not the common area.
If the management team cannot prove that the water leaked from the exclusive area, they will have no choice but to directly compensate for the damages according to the law.

Mr. E encounters difficulties from his first day at work.
Because I had an interview with the HR manager and the employment contract, and I couldn't understand anything at all.
I knew that the white part was the paper and the black part was the text, but the rest was hard to see.

Police can investigate stalking after stopping the stalking, warning of the consequences of stalking, and separating the perpetrator from the victim.
If you are concerned that the stalking behavior will be repeated, you can take emergency measures, such as prohibiting the person from making phone calls or sending messages, and preventing them from approaching the victim within 100 meters.

Complaints must be written carefully.
If you omit important facts, write unfavorable facts, or make the content so complex that the investigative authorities cannot investigate, you are giving the other party the gift of not guilty.
It can make the other person feel arrogant.
The purpose of a complaint is to help investigative authorities easily understand and investigate the other party's crime.

The security deposit must be sent to the landlord whose name is on the contract.
It's so obvious, but there are many cases where people lose their security deposit by sending it to someone other than the landlord for various reasons.
A lease agreement must be signed directly with the landlord, but in reality, it is common to sign a contract with the landlord's spouse or children.

Since lawyers are also human, they cannot help but pay more attention to active clients.
You can easily find out how the trial is progressing by using the 'My Case Search' system provided on the Korean Court website (www.scourt.go.kr).
I recommend going in at least once or twice a month to check how the trial is progressing and ask your lawyer if you have any questions.
