A group of South Korean law school students said Friday that they have lodged a constitutional petition against a quota that limits the number of candidates allowed to pass the bar exam.

In the petition filed with the Constitutional Court, third-year students at six graduate-level law schools nationwide claimed the quota violates their fundamental human rights, including freedom of occupation.

“Anyone who successfully completes law school should be able to pass the exam without much difficulty,” the students said. (Yonhap News)
