There are more than ninties of S&T related laws to support Government's S&T policies recently. Even though Korean Government has enacted plenty of S&T related laws are required to be reformed. In this paper, firstly, we define what is S&T related law and the relationship between S&T related law system. Secondly, we investigate the problems of S&T related law with respect to several aspects such as historical, executing, international environment, and systematic aspects. Finally, we suggest the directions of S&T law reform.
