Busan City Hall.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Trainee Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan City has established a free legal consultation office on the first floor of Busan City Hall, where ordinary citizens and small business owners can consult with lawyers about everyday legal issues in the new year.

To ensure the effectiveness of the consultation office's operation, the city enacted the "Ordinance on the Operation of the Citizens' Free Legal Consultation Office," which provides the basis and detailed operational plans for running the consultation office.

The free legal consultation office has been set up as a separate space in the lobby on the first floor of Busan City Hall, and 24 lawyers belonging to the Busan Bar Association, active in Busan, will take turns providing consultations.

It is planned to operate twice a week, every Tuesday and Thursday, throughout the year. Any citizen wishing to receive consultation can make a prior reservation and visit in person or receive consultation online.

The city plans to continuously improve the operation of the free legal consultation office, including operating hours and the number of consultations, by collecting opinions through surveys of users.

Kim Seon-jo, Director of Planning and Coordination at Busan City, said, "I hope that the legal consultation office established within City Hall will help resolve citizens' inconveniences and promote their rights and interests."
