EFL Law is providing a tremendous service by professionally trained lawyer(s) in directing teachers to accurate/ helpful information. Clearly by the fact that there are so many complaints about employers in Korea (See Dave's ESL cafe as compared to Japan, for instance)by English teachers who need quality service from people with exceptional and clear English ability -and legal expertise.
Of course many Seoul lawyers know some English but law is a very intricate matter and it is the high priced lawyers who tend to have the nearer native ability who are unavailable to the many "low" income teachers. Most teachers it needs to be remembered are not upper bracket income people. So why is this association called Seoul Lawyers Association (see news on EFL Law.com) trying to shut down a site which is so practical.

One wonders who else will be next or constricted. An interesting question would be to see how many of these lawyers have ever done work for people who own hagwons.or certain government agencies (Education institutions or departments which employ native speakers)?I simply pose it as a question not to imply that for sure there is some link. That would be unprofessional, of course. But still an interesting question and one which some established and well funded human rights groups might have interest in looking into. There are hopefully more important issues within Korea that the Seoul lawyers ass. may need to look at that for example could relate to ethical practices, billing, peddling political influence. Or maybe not. Over to you.

Couldn't the site just be hosted outside Korea, with DNS contact info for a friend or relative in North America? Seems like that'd put it outside these boneheads' jurisdiction...
