[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Yushin] Gimcheon City in Gyeongbuk announced on the 14th that it will operate a free legal consultation office for citizens who face various disputes in daily life and require legal action but are unable to receive legal benefits due to difficulties in accessing legal knowledge.

Gimcheon City, with the help of the Korea Expressway Corporation Legal Team (two in-house lawyers), provides legal services in civil, criminal, and administrative matters to citizens at the free legal consultation office located in the Gimcheon City Hall General Civil Service Office.

The first free consultation this year will be held on the 16th from 2 to 5 p.m., and the consultation office will be operated on the third Thursday of every month going forward.

Since 2015, Gimcheon City has operated the consultation office and has provided free legal consultation services to 264 citizens so far.

Park Wonyong, Director of the Open Civil Service Division of Gimcheon City, said, "We operate the consultation office so that citizens facing legal difficulties are not marginalized in the legal blind spots," and added, "If you have difficulties, please contact the consultation office."
