‘The Former Post Courtesy,’ a kind of privileges of former government officials, unique phenomenon which exists due to the Korean judicial system, is a vice that should be abolished to cause distrust of the people. Although some judges or prosecutors argue no courtesy practice, its existence can be affirmed by awareness of legal specialists as well as public awareness, but also by established institutional preventive measures under the ‘Atorny-At- Law Act’ to prevent the courtesy. In addition, in the personnel hearing of the chief justice candidates of the Supreme Court in 2017, the existence of the courtesy is confirmed in that the candidates mentioned the fundamental eradication of the courtesy practice. The courtesy expands the vice that favors the retired officials of the executive branch and the legislative branch as well as the judicial branch, and can promote the corruption and integrity and unfair business practices of public officials, thereby discriminating the people. It can be extended to problems that violate the rights of equality under the Constitution. The article is to propose institutional improvement to prevent the courtesy practice. The article, firstly, confirmed the existence of the courtesy by introducing the legislative process and the current legislation to prevent the practice. The article, secondly, envisioned the weak points of current legislation and proposed plans to improve the system to prevent the courtesy practice. The plans includes the introduction of life-time judicial system, the registration restriction on ex-official lawyers, the restriction on the ex-official lawyers’accepting cases, and the obligation to submit the resignation data of the ex-official lawyers. It should be recognized that these privileges of former government officials are no longer an abstract problem of law and culture or an unclear tradition of compassionism, but a problem that continues due to institutional limitations. Therefore, legislation need be actively introduced to overcome the current limitations.
