search_korean_law
Search Korean laws, precedents, and administrative rules. Retrieve specific articles directly or get summarized results for broader queries using the National Law Information Center API.
Instructions
Primary interface for searching Korean laws, precedents, and administrative rules.
It is a "Smart Search" that adapts to the query type.
Capabilities:
1. **Specific Article Lookup** (Preferred):
- Input: "Civil Act Article 103", "민법 제103조", "Criminal Act 250"
- Behavior: Returns the *exact content* of the article directly. No need for further steps.
- Note: Supports both Korean ("민법") and major English names ("Civil Act").
2. **Broad Keyword Search**:
- Input: "school violence", "학교폭력", "adultery case"
- Behavior: Returns a summarized list of top results across Statutes, Precedents, and Admin Rules.
- Output: Includes **Typed IDs** (e.g., `statute:12345`, `prec:67890`) which MUST be used with `read_legal_resource` to get full text.
Usage Tips:
- ALWAYS try to be specific if you know the law name and article number.
- If searching for a case by number, just enter it (e.g., "2010다102991").
- **NEW:** To find specific articles containing keywords (e.g., "credits" in "Higher Education Act"), first search for the law to get its ID, then use `search_law_articles(law_id, "keywords")`.
