Prosecutor Exodus Speeds Up Before Office Abolition as Judge Applications Hit Record

About five months before the abolition of the prosecution office, moves by prosecutors to leave the organization are accelerating. Resignations, leaves of absence and outside secondments are continuing, while applications this year from former prosecutors seeking appointment as career judges have reached a record high. With major changes to the prosecution organization ahead, some prosecutors are clearly looking for new career paths. The rise in applications for career judge positions is also being seen as a sign of this shift. If personnel movement continues before the abolition of the prosecution office, it could affect organizational operations and the reshaping of legal talent. Source: mk.co.kr
