On June 19, DR & AJU launched the “School Violence Support Center” to provide professional and tailored legal services related to school violence. 

The Center is led by Partner Ki Ju TAG, who previously served as Chief of the Special Investigation Division at the Korean National Police Agency and as Chief of the Seoul Seongbuk Police Station. The Center’s key members include Partner You Lee JUNG, a former prosecutor specializing in child abuse and human rights cases at the Yeoju Branch of the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office and in victim support at the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office, concluding her public service as a Departmental Chief Prosecutor, Partner Mi Ha IM, a graduate of the Korean National Police University who served in the police force for over 20 years in key roles including Investigation Review Officer and Head of the Female and Juvenile Investigation Team, and Partner Sang Hyuk YOON, a  former Prosecutor of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials. Drawing on their respective areas of expertise, they lead the Center’s operations and are committed to delivering specialized and effective legal services and solutions to clients. 

Drawing upon her extensive experience, Partner Mi Ha IM has directly investigated and led school violence cases during her tenure. After serving as a member of the School Violence Countermeasures Committee, she currently sits on both the Minor Offenses Review Committee and the Juvenile Guidance Review Committee of the Police Station. Partner Sang Hyuk YOON also serves on the Juvenile Guidance Review Committee of the Police Station and is dedicated to juvenile protection and guidance. 

The Center is expected to provide comprehensive and systematic legal services covering the entire process related to school violence, including response counseling, assistance with matters handled by the School Violence Countermeasures Review Committee, advice on the recording and deletion of school life records, as well as representation in criminal proceedings and administrative litigation. 

In addition, the Center plans to establish a cooperative framework with relevant institutions, including school violence officers at police stations and youth psychological counseling centers, to promptly identify the surging and evolving forms of school violence and to provide integrated psychological support services for affected youth.
