In the declaration, the association defined "President Yoon Seok-yeol's attempt to dissolve the National Assembly and privatize power as a serious incident that fundamentally damages the constitutional order," strongly condemning the president's actions that destroy the constitutional order.

It also pointed out that despite Article 66 of the Constitution stipulating that the president must bear responsibility for upholding the Constitution, the impeachment procedure in the National Assembly was thwarted, and declared, "We will act together with the people to protect constitutional values."

The association emphasized the responsibility as legal professionals by stating, "The rule of law is the foundation of our society, and if the rule of law collapses, justice and peace cannot be expected," and declared active participation in the national effort to restore the Constitution and democracy.

In particular, the association highlighted the seriousness of the current situation where the people have directly taken action to protect the Constitution and democracy, citing the large-scale participation of the 2030 generation as evidence of hope. It also pledged to continue efforts to restore democracy and establish the constitutional order together with the people.
