Korean Law.
There are many different principles in Korean law as compared with western legal principles. The most common area of law for TEFL teachers is contract law. Most of the actions that cannot be resolved will end up in the Small Claims Court. Occasionally the cases reach the Supreme Court for determination. Most disputes in Korea originate with private schools "hogwans,' though it is not uncommon to see Universities unilaterally changing contractual conditions. Legal fees can be as high in Korea as in the U.S., with most Korean attorneys only acting once large fees have been paid up front.
