The Korea Law Translation Center: Korean statutes in English, free

The Korea Law Translation Center, run by the Korea Legislation Research Institute, publishes English translations of Korean laws online for free. It has provided a free online service since 2010 and about 2,300 laws in English, and it offers an open API, a legal-terms glossary and translation guidelines. It is the Institute's English database of Korean Acts and subordinate statutes, and the National Law Information Center's English pages cover similar ground. Because the Korean text is the authoritative one, use the translation for understanding and check the original for anything contractual or contested.
