Gachang-myeon
Gachang-myeon is a ''myeon'', or township in rural southeastern Daegu, South Korea. Part of Dalseong County, it is separated from the urban center of Daegu by the ridgelines of Yongjibong and Apsan. These two mountains are separated by the narrow valley of the Sincheon, a tributary of the Nakdong which drains most of the township. The valley of the Sincheon also hosts the only roads that connect Gachang to central Daegu. Gachang-myeon is ringed by mountains and threaded by narrow valleys. These include Biseulsan (1084 m) and Choejeongsan (889 m). This rugged topography makes it a favored destination for outings, both for mountain climbers and for those seeking only to enjoy the resort facilities in the Naengcheon valley. Heritage sites include the Nokdong Seowon, a seowon, and the Buddhist temple of Unheungsa. To the south, Gachang is equally isolated by a line of low mountains that lie between it and Cheongdo county in Gyeongsangnam-do. Here the ridgeline is broken ...

Judge
A judge is a person who presides over court proceedings, either alone or as a part of a panel of judges. A judge hears all the witnesses and any other evidence presented by the barristers or solicitors of the case, assesses the credibility and arguments of the parties, and then issues a ruling in the case based on their interpretation of the law and their own personal judgment. A judge is expected to conduct the trial impartially and, typically, in an open court. The powers, functions, method of appointment, discipline, and training of judges vary widely across different jurisdictions. In some jurisdictions, the judge's powers may be shared with a jury. In inquisitorial systems of criminal investigation, a judge might also be an examining magistrate. The presiding judge ensures that all court proceedings are lawful and orderly. Powers and functions The ultimate task of a judge is to settle a legal dispute in a final and publicly lawful manner in agreement with substantial p ...
