[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] The Uijeongbu District Court Namyangju Branch and the Uijeongbu District Prosecutors' Office Namyangju Office will each open on the 1st of next month.

With this, the Uijeongbu District Court will have two branches: the newly established Namyangju Branch and the Goyang Branch, which has jurisdiction over 10 cities and counties in northern Gyeonggi Province and Cheorwon County in Gangwon Province.

The main court will handle six locations including Uijeongbu, Yangju, Dongducheon, Pocheon, Yeoncheon, and Cheorwon, while Goyang and Paju, as well as Namyangju, Guri, and Gapyeong, will be managed by the Goyang Branch and Namyangju Branch respectively.

According to the Uijeongbu District Court on the 13th, the composition of the Namyangju Branch judiciary will be decided within this week, initially assigning 10 judges and gradually increasing the number according to case demand.

The branch will handle civil, criminal, family trials, auctions, enforcement, applications, and deposit cases in the three regions, while administrative lawsuits, bankruptcy, rehabilitation, and juvenile cases will continue to be held at the main Uijeongbu District Court.

The Namyangju and Guri registries will be integrated and operated as the Namyangju Branch registry department, while the Gapyeong registry will remain as is.

The Namyangju Branch courthouse was newly constructed across from the Dasan-dong Police Station in Namyangju City, with one basement floor, eight above-ground floors, and a total floor area of 20,000 square meters.

Meanwhile, the Uijeongbu District Prosecutors' Office Namyangju Office was newly built next to the Namyangju Branch with the same scale, staffed with two criminal divisions and 17 prosecutors.

Previously, the Ministry of Justice appointed Gu Seung-mo (47, 31st class) as the head of the office, and Lee Chan-gyu and Son Jeong-sook as chief prosecutors.
