Bodleian Oriental Institute Library (OIL)
This library has focused (mainly) on the humanities - its histories of important banking institutions, corporations, and companies may be of interest to lawyers. It does also have materials relating to the study of modern Korea generally. A SOLO search will uncover any relevant sources it may have - and there are some examples in this guide.

The Libguide below has been written by the Bodleian's Korean specialist librarian - on general Korean resources in the Bodleian.
On Monday 1 August, Judge Kee Jurng Kim, President of the Supreme Court Library of Korea and Presiding Judge of Seoul High Court visited the Law Bod to sign a Memorandum of Understanding between the institutions. This act of generosity means the Law Bod will be able to support Korean legal studies far more comprehensively - especially for those with the language skills.
