Which Korean court covers your district?
한국어A statute decides which court covers which district. Its schedules are split here into 237 districts and 210 courts. Type a district name and you get the schedule line that names it.
This page reproduces the statute. It does not tell you what to file. It is not legal advice.
Every line comes from the official statute text at the Korean Law Information Center. Blank means the statute does not say.
