The Korea Times Reports:
English Translation of Korean Law Available Free
The English-version of Korean law is now accessible without charge on the Internet starting Thursday, making it possible for foreigners to efficiently research legal problems.
The Korea Legislation Research Institute said its Web site (www.klri.re.kr) has provided an English translation of the current Acts and Subordinate Statutes of the country.
It has also established databases used for offering online information services aimed at contributing to “enhancing worldwide understanding on the current Acts and Subordinate Statutes and facilitating external trade, and expanding the scope of foreign investment,” the institute said in a press release.
Nearly 1,000 English versions of Korean Acts and Statutes, including the history of enactments and amendments, are available on the Web site. Users can search the content by name, field, government body, alphabetical order, promulgation date and table or form. It plans to add 600 more Acts and Statutes to the service by 2012.
