다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

It seems difficult to compromise with Plato's national system, which presupposes the absolute reality of truth, and the present-day political system, which presupposes the relativity of truth. However, Plato's ideology of the rule of law, which insists that all members of the community obey the law, and our rule of law, which checks extrajudicial power, have something in common in that they give authority to the substance of the law, not the form of the law. In short, from the point of view of ‘the rule of law’, we can confirm the intersection of the two systems.
Dating back about 2500 years, This article attempts to examine the meaning of the ideological elements that operate the rule of law from ancient Plato's thought, and how they can be interpreted and applied today.
Chapter I examines the reason Plato wrote a book titled ‘laws’ and the significance of the rule of law thought as a practical alternative that he suggested after giving up the idea of the rule of iron man. Chapter II analyzes the principle of ‘to metrion and agathon' as a methodology adopted by Plato, and uses the examples of Persia and Athens to apply this as a requirement to operate the rule of law. indicate that they are in a relationship.
Chapter III examines whether the three-sided relationship of liberty-fraternity-intelligence discussed earlier can be applied to today's lawyers. Among them, freedom, fraternity, and intelligence are reinterpreted and applied in a modern sense to lawyers in the judicial field, especially in line with Plato's method of electing public office. Plato's idea that restrictions on civil liberty is a substitution of public liberty rather than the imposition of public obligations applies to lawyers today. Lawyers need a public sphere which is a space of public liberty to discuss their own public duties. The article concludes by pointing out that this should be prepared.
