The Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes Act and the Check Act of Korea had been e nacted 5 0 years a go. During t hat period, the Acts h ave hardly changed in contexts. While the past half-century, the bills and checks system has contributed to the development of the national economy and enterprise management. But the system exposed the side effects as a matter of operation, because of the distortion of economic structure in Korea. As the result, the Revised bills on the Bills and Promissory Notes Act in 1998 tried the abolition of the promissory notes system. And nowadays, we can see that the judicial judgments about the promissory notes and checks in the Korean Supreme Court Judgments have been decreased in quality as well as in number. Therefore, many parties also have the view that the importance of jurisprudence of bills and checks is decreasing continually, so-called in the age of Law School. In my opinion, the side effects like this are not the problem being derived from the bills and checks system in itself, but that of the economic structure in Korea. Therefore, I claim the institution of the bills and checks in Korea will have the large contribution to the economic society, and the jurisprudence of bills and checks will have the scholarly importance continually. In conclusion, this paper searches as following points for the lifting of the its existence value. Firstly, it investigates the status quo of the bills and checks system. Secondly, it analyzes the electronization situation of the bills and checks system. Thirdly, it presents the issues for the development of the jurisprudence of bills and checks.
