Lesson I: Korean Legal Terms & Phrases

This is the first in a series of posts I shall make for those wanting to learn a little about Korean legal terms. I shall try to post a lesson every week. I shall try to make this simple at first. This may be a useful tool, also, for those who are just learning Korean, since I added a few simple sentences. If you can’t read Korean characters – learn. The alphabet is easy to learn and I promise that you shall never be able to pronounce words without learning the Korean alphabet. Lesson II can be found at Lesson II of Korean Legal Terms.
