• search_law_articles read-only

  Keyword search over the English text of South Korean statutes and enforcement decrees in the Koreanics law database. Each Act and its Enforcement Decree are separate laws with their own slugs (e.g. labor-standards-act and enforcement-decree-of-the-labor-standards-act; also personal-information-protection-act, foreign-investment-promotion-act, foreign-exchange-transactions-act, monopoly-regulation-and-fair-trade-act, commercial-act, customs-act, value-added-tax-act, immigration-act, patent-act, copyright-act). Periods, amounts and thresholds are often in the Decree, so search it too; a law may also be given by name. Returns matching articles with a short snippet and URL. Use get_law_article for the full text.

  Parameters:

  • query (required) — string — Keywords in English, e.g. "overtime pay" or "foreign investment notification".
  • law — string — Optional law slug from list_laws, to search one law only.
  • limit — integer — Maximum results (default 10).

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent yes · open-world no

• get_law_article read-only

  Full English text of one article of a South Korean statute or enforcement decree (the law may be given by slug or by name), with a one-line plain-English explanation where available, the version date and the official Korean source link.

Works for laws whose English translation is still in progress. Use get_law_article for the text.
