Citation and Romanization
- For a non-roman script language like Korean, correct citation of laws, articles, and cases in English language publications depends on a combination of standards for legal citation (in Korea and in the U.S.), U.S. standards for transcription of foreign language materials, and the transcription of Korean, specifically.
- Legal Citation
- The Bluebook: a uniform system of citation. 17th ed. Cambridge, MA: Harvard Law Review Association, 2000.
This is the standard source for citation of laws, cases, and bibliographical citations in U.S. legal publications. Although there are examples and guidelines for many foreign countries, Korea is not discussed specifically. Pages 151-155 give general guidelines for citing foreign language materials.

Searching the Web
Updated March 28, 2006.
The entire universe of web pages can be searched for practically any combination of key words. This means that if you are looking for materials on Korean patents, for example, you can use an online search engine to find out quickly and easily how many sites on the Internet use the word "Korea" and "patents". Unfortunately, this method doesn't work well for the "invisible web", for example, when texts are stored in a database. Further, if searching for Korean texts, it will be necessary to use Korean terms in han'gul, and the search will be most effective if you use a Korean search engine. Getting the full benefit out of search engines takes some practice. Note that results from different search engines will NOT be the same!
