[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] Changwon City in Gyeongnam announced on the 8th that a family court specializing in family and juvenile cases will be established in the Sapa District urban development project area in Seongsan-gu.

The Supreme Court's Court Administration Office recently held a review meeting of the Court Building Construction Committee and informed Changwon City that the Changwon Family Court will be built in Sapa-dong, Sapa District.

Sapa-dong is where the Changwon District Court, Changwon District Prosecutor's Office, and Bar Association Hall are located, and it is about 1.5 km in a straight line from the Changwon District Court and Changwon District Prosecutor's Office.

The planned site for the Changwon Family Court is city-owned land of Changwon City, and the Supreme Court will purchase the land from Changwon City to proceed with the construction of the Changwon Family Court.

In early March, the National Assembly passed the "Partial Amendment to the Act on the Establishment and Jurisdiction of Courts at Each Level," which includes the establishment of the Changwon Family Court, deciding to create the new court.

The scheduled opening date is March 1, 2025.
