Questions

How many English-speaking lawyers are there in South Korea?
We list 27, in 4 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?
Seoul, with 24 of the 27.
Is English unusual for lawyers in South Korea?
100% of the 27 lawyers we hold in South Korea are recorded as working in English. A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, so the figure reflects who publishes lists, not only who speaks what.
