After a short break to give way to the 2021 Baeksang Arts Awards, Korean drama "Law School" starring Kim Myung Min and Kim Bum is back, giving the viewers an intense storyline and more explosive revelations.
In the previous episode, the JTBC drama left the fans hanging with Jeon Ye Seul's case, portrayed by Go Yoon Jung and her trial against her boyfriend, Ko Young Chang (Lee Hwi Jong), and his powerful father, Assemblyman Ko (Jung Won Joong.)
"Law School" episode 10 also revealed that Yang Jong Hoon (Kim Myung Min) would stand as Ye Seul's lawyer.
"Law School" Episode 11 Recap: A Surprise from Professor Yang
The spectators, including the Hankuk University law students, were shocked upon seeing their professor standing by as Ye Seul's lawyer.
At the court, the prosecution questioned Yang Jong Hoon, who currently has his own trial, representing his student's lawyer.
He pointed out that he is still innocent until proven guilty and was appointed through a special request.
Professor Yang raised that no one wants to represent his student, given that Assemblyman Ko is a powerful person.

Han Joon Hwi Finds the Key that Might Help Professor Yang's Case
Now that the grades are out, Kang Sol A (Ryu Hye Young) learned that she received a low score and doubts herself whether she should continue her law school or not.
Han Joon Hwi (Kim Bum) then saw Kang Sol A drinking an ample amount of alcohol and walked up to her. She then rants how hard she studied just to pass the exam but feels pathetic upon seeing her grades.
The next day, Joon Hwi invited Kang Sol A to have breakfast with him to cure her hangover. At the cafeteria, he showed her the sugar glucose logbook.
Joon Hwi mentioned that he found this at Professor Seo Byeong Joo's car on the day of the incident.
Sol A was surprised and at the same time proud of Joon Hwi for finding such strong evidence.
Ye Seul to Prove her Innocence by Self-Defense Appeal
Ye Seul's group mates are helping with the case by figuring out how she can prove her innocence.
The law freshmen learned that the prosecution would highlight that her boyfriend is attempting to delete the videos instead of uploading, which the law students find absurd.
At Professor Yang's office, Ye Seul showed him transcripts from a phone call between her and Ko Young Chang. This will prove that Ye Seul was in an abusive relationship; however, she mentioned that she only wants it to defend her, not press charges against her boyfriend.
Shortly after the conversation, Kang Sol A entered the professor's office and spoke about how Assemblyman Ko used fake news to make his opponent take his own life. This is in reference to Seo Ji Ho (Lee David) and his father, a former CEO of a toy company.
Kang Sol A also mentioned that he might do the same thing to Ye Seul; hence she raised self-defense as her counter appeal.
Yang Jong Hoon's Final Trial
Amid his first case as a public defender, Professor Yang is also facing his own trial.
Prior to the court session, Yoo Seung Jae (Hyun Woo) gave Ye Seul a flash drive, instructing her to hand it to Professor Yang before his trial.
Unfortunately, her bag, which contained the memory stick, was stolen on her way to the courtroom.
"Law School" episode 10 will be the pivotal moment for Professor Yang as Yoo Seung Jae's statement will be the key to his case.
As the judge asked for their closing statement, Prosecutor Jin Hyeong Woo (Park Hyuk Kwon) claimed that the accused was using his knowledge of the law to take advantage and get away with the murder.
As Professor Yang gave his final statement, he mentioned what Professor Seo thinks of the law.
The late professor believes the innocent should not be served unjustly. He then pointed out that the prosecutor and the investigators are pinning the case on him despite the evidence that they are raising.
He then presented a flash drive which would be his smoking gun to the case.
At the court, he mentioned that it was a statement from his student that would prove that Professor Seo recovered from hypoglycemic shock after drinking the coffee with sugar.
An emotional Professor Yang appeared to the court as he mentioned that the judge should set a good example to his law students who will be the future defenders by making a fair decision.
