Where these came from

These Korean-speaking lawyers come from 3 sources, led by the Japan Federation of Bar Associations' lawyer search (13), a Korean embassy or consulate (4) and a United States embassy or consulate (1).

Every one of these sits on an official list, published by a body with nothing to sell.

Questions

How many Korean-speaking lawyers are there in Japan?
We list 18, in 5 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Osaka, with 9 of the 18.
Is Korean unusual for lawyers in Japan?
4% of the 432 lawyers we hold in Japan are recorded as working in Korean. Most of them come from the Japan Federation of Bar Associations' lawyer search, a register that records the languages each provider offers, so the figure reflects who that register covers, not only who speaks what.
