This paper illuminates academic achievements of Professor Suh Won-Woo as a
scholar, particularly in terms of impact upon and contribution to the
administrative law, law and public policy in Korea. Reviewed and evaluated are
his lifelong efforts to perceive the originality of Korean administrative law and
to try to build a new scientific administrative law which is a indispensable,
integral component of the comprehensive science of administration. Study of law
and public policy in Korea got into its stride thanks to Professor Suh's
persevering endeavors to link both fields into a policy science of public law as
a comprehensive science of public administration as he calls it. Much remains
unfinished and yet to be developed by the succeeding generations of public law
and policy science, while his works and ambitions still guide us forth in search
of a new realm of social science where administrative law meets public policy
