Article 1 of the Korea Copyright Act stipulates that the purpose of this Act is to protect the rights of authors and the rights neighboring on them and to promote fair use of works in order to contribute to the improvement and development of culture. Hence, the improvement and development of culture is the final goal of the Copyright Act and should be the essential standard of the interpretation and application of the law. However, most of Korean copyright scholars do not explain the meaning of it and they even assume that protection of the copyright and promotion of fair use themselves are deemed as it. The meaning of the improvement and development of culture should be derived from the Constitution and there is a principle of the nation of culture as one of the basic constitutional principles. Pursuant to the principle of the nation of culture, the improvement and development of culture means maximization of the right of enjoyment from culture by the building of the ecology for the sustainable production and consumption of the works. This should be not only the legislative purpose of the Copyright Act but also the goal of culture policy.

Under the revision of medical law on February 1, 2012, health care providers are banned from opening 2 or more medical institutions and being involved in managing the institutions. However, purpose of the legislation of the revised law is unclear and even confirmation of such purpose of the legislation based on the calculation of multiple legislative backgrounds cannot be appropriate means of achieving such purposes. This article confirms and reviews the development of revision of medical law and history of the principle of 'one person-one medical institution', and legislative purpose of the revised medical law as well as examines unconstitutionality of such revision based on limited fundamental rights by the revision, principle of clarity, and principle of the prohibition of excessive restriction.

본고는 한국지식문화재단 입법 공청회에서 발표 자료로 제시된 것으로 현재 입법 준비과정에 있는 기존 법률에서 사이버명예훼손에 관한 부분에 대한 법률 개정을 위한 공청회 자료이다. 정보통신망이용촉진 및 정보보호 등에 관한 법률은 현재 인터넷을 통해 진행되는 갖가지 부조리와 불법적인 행태에 대처하지 못하는 감이 없지 않다. 때문에 개정안 입법도 변화하는 정보 사회에 발맞추기 위한 목적으로 진행되고 있다.

본 연구는 1990년부터 2008년 사이 한국에서 발생한 공공분쟁 중 국회의 입법에 의해 종료된 공공분쟁의 전개과정을 살펴봄으로써 분쟁 종결에 있어 국회의 역할은 무엇이었는지 알아보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이와 함께 입법에 의해 종결된 분쟁의 특징을 분석하고, 다른 분쟁과의 차이점은 무엇인지 비교해 보았다. 국회는 일반적으로 입법과 갈등해소 역할을 담당하는 데 이러한 역할에 얼마나 충실한지 입법에 의해 종료된 공공분쟁을 통해 알아보았다. 입법에 의해 종료된 60개의 분쟁을 분석하면서 나타난 중요한 특징은 입법에 의해 종료된 분쟁은 전국적으로 영향을 크게 미친 분쟁이라는 점이며 또한 분쟁의 강도가 매우 크다는 점이다. 이와 함께 무엇보다 입법을 통해 분쟁이 종료되었지만 입법에 있어 국회의 역할은 매우 미비하다는 점을 발견할 수 있었다. 입법에 의한 분쟁 종료이기에 국회의 역할이 클 것이라 기대해 보았다. 그러나 이러한 분쟁들은 높은 중요성과 함께 복잡성 띠고 있는 정책 혹은 낮은 중요성을 띠고 있는 정책과 관련이 있어 국회는 소극적 역할은 하는데 그치고 있다. 이러한 국회의 미비한 역할은 매우 실망스러운 결과로 공공 분쟁을 사전에 예방하고 분쟁이 발생한 후 커다란 갈등 없이 원활한 해결을 할 수 있도록 하기 위해서는 국회의 적극적인 역할이 기대되는 실정이다.

This study was conducted to suggest the ways of improving legislative information services in the National Assembly Library based on the information needs of the legislative support organization arising from the legislation process done by the National Assembly Members. For the purpose, 20 users of legislative support organizations were interviewed in depth. Based on the analysis of the results, the study suggested the improvement proposals in the areas of services and system. Service improvement reflected the information needs of overseas legislative cases, the need for supplementing policy information, and the areas that need to be promoted Second, in the area of system improvement, it was proposed to raise the service awareness of the legal information system centered on foreign legal information and to operate personalized service that can provide differentiated information services for each legislative support organization.

In May 2019, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety revised the "Pharmaceutical Determination and Adjustment Criteria" with the content of differentially calculating the price of generic drugs according to the registration of the drug substance and meeting the requirements for their own bioequivalence test. According to this revised rule, if their own bioequivalence test is not conducted, even the generic drugs that have already been approved would be lowered in price. I wondered whether this system was introduced with sufficient public legal considerations regarding its legislative purposes and means. Therefore, I reviewed the contents of the revised notice based on whether or not it is valid to determine and adjust the price of generic drugs in terms of the legitimacy of legislative purposes and the proportionality principle after introducing the history and background of the rule. First, I raised a question as to whether the purpose of preventing the overrun of generic drugs is indeed legitimate in terms of the legitimacy of the purpose. In order for the revised notice of "reduction of drug prices when the test requirements are not met," to meet the conformity principle, the premise that it is difficult to recognize safety and effectiveness through consignment (joint) bioequivalence test or that these tests are insufficient in safety and efficacy verification than their own test must be established. Nevertheless, it seems that suffficient review has not been carried out. In order to achieve the purpose of securing safety and effectiveness, the focus should be on 'reinforcement of the standards for bioequivalence test and the management of the bioequivalence test itself' rather than whether it is a their own test or a consignment (joint) test. Third, it is contrary to the necessity and substantiality principle that strict standards are uniformly applied to the products that can be considered to have been sufficiently verified for safety and effectiveness after a considerable period of time has passed after the product approval. In many cases, revised administrative legislations quickly enacted and amended in the state of lack of legal review or consensus, while the regulatory effects resulting from it are quite direct and specific to the regulated person. In this respect, I emphasized that the administrative legislative process also requires substantial review and prior control of the regulatory purposes and means, and that the participation of stakeholders in the legislative procedure is to be strengthened.

This study examines the effects of members' legislative performance on their renominations in the $19^{th}$ Korean National Assembly. We measure how many bills each member has proposed and passed in the Assembly. In addition, we also include rate of passing bills as an indicator of legislative performance. Particularly, we analyze 320 members in total, and 270 members who got in on the competition for nomination separately. The empirical findings of our study show that, firstly, among the total members in the Assembly, as they propose bills more and pass bills fewer, they are more likely to be renominated in the very next election. However, this is a result of different types of members rather than legislative performance. Secondly, among the members who actually competed for renomination, the legislative performance of members can not affect their renomination. Therefore, we argue that it is necessary to stipulate nominations criteria and transform top-down nomination method to bottom-up one in order to raise responsiveness and enhance representative democracy.

This study aims to examine whether committee preference and negotiation group affiliation have an effect on proposals and passages of legislators' bills. Previous studies points out predominances and reflections of partisan interests, but analytic result shows legislators' preferences work on introductions and passages of bills through committee and negotiation group as assembly institutions. The rates of proposals and passages were high in the committee that legislators would like to belong to. The same result was found in negotiation group affiliation. However, active activities of legislators works in only their committees, not in a general meeting. This result shows that committee and negotiation group are significant institutions of national assembly.

Purpose: With the diversification of modern society, it is difficult to predict crime types, and the limitations of the state's functions, such as human limitations and lack of budget, are increasing. Method: However, as the number of private investigation companies that do not use illegal means to solve the request increased, attempts were made to introduce a public detective system that would manage and supervise it and compensate for the gap in public power. Result: However, due to the nature of the Private Investigator system, legislation has not progressed as the National Police Agency and the Ministry of Justice are at odds with existing laws that guarantee existing jobs such as lawyers and credit research. Conclusion: Therefore, this study analyzes the bills related to the authorized detective to the National Assembly, examines major issues such as the scope of work of the authorized detective business, the selection of management and supervisory authorities, and suggests ways to improve the successful settlement of the Private Investigator system.

This study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the 2-step needle insertion technique to reduce pain during local anesthesia in children. Local anesthesia was performed bilaterally using conventional technique and a 2-step technique, and to compare the degree of pain using the 2-step with that using the conventional technique during local anesthesia using a pain scale. The pain scores were significantly different between the conventional technique and the 2-step insertion technique at 5.82 ± 2.14 and 2.57 ± 2.09, respectively (p < 0.001). The subjective degree of pain based on gender, age, and Frankl's behavior rating scale was significantly lower in the 2-step insertion technique (p < 0.001). Subjective pain levels in the area of maxilla and mandible, anterior and posterior parts were lower in the group treated using the 2-step insertion technique (p < 0.001). The 2-step insertion technique is a simple and effective way to reduce pain during local anesthesia not only in children with a positive attitude to dental treatment, but also in children with negative attitudes, and is thought to be more effective if combined with application of topical anesthesia or distraction.
