Gangbuk-gu, Seoul (Mayor Lee Soon-hee) announced on the 7th that it will expand free legal consultations to protect and promote the rights and interests of residents who face difficulties due to a lack of specialized legal knowledge.


To meet the demand for legal consultations from residents such as office workers who find it difficult to use the free legal consultation office operating during the day due to time constraints, the district plans to further expand free legal consultations by adding nighttime legal scrivener consultations starting from the 14th of this month.

The nighttime legal scrivener consultations are held at the Civil Affairs and Passport Department's free legal consultation office on the second Thursday of every month from 6 PM to 8 PM. Any resident with an address or domicile in Gangbuk-gu can use this service, and up to six people per session can receive various daily legal services including civil, family, administrative, criminal, and labor law through face-to-face consultations lasting about 20 minutes each.


Residents wishing to receive consultations can apply in advance by phone or visit, or make a reservation on the district’s website. In addition to nighttime legal scrivener consultations, the district also offers lawyer consultations on Monday mornings and legal scrivener consultations on Monday afternoons every week. Nighttime lawyer consultations, held on the last Thursday of every month, will also continue to be available.



Mayor Lee Soon-hee said, “Through the expanded operation of free legal consultations, we hope that residents who found it difficult to receive consultations due to their busy daily lives will be able to access daily legal services,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to protect and promote the rights and interests of our residents.”
