Comment
Started the article. You might not want to link to it yet, since it's still a (very) rough draft. Also, I would appreciate any help anyone would like to give. Cheers. --Zonath 04:00, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Meaning of "without power of judicial review"
I'm sensing a recurring theme throughout this Wikipedia article where the Supreme Court is described as not having the power of judicial review. My best guess is that this is a translation of the Korean word 사법권. Nevertheless, they both mean, quite literally, the ability to review the legality of cases brought to court (including government actions), which wouldn't make sense for the Supreme Court not to have. I'm not a modern Korean history expert, so I don't know if the first constitution of Korea drastically limited the Supreme Court's power of judicial review, so if that's the case, please explicitly state which part of judicial review was limited in the article. In the meantime, I will be looking over the article and removing all out-of-place mention of "power of judicial review".

My working theory is that it was meant to be the power of constitutional review, which is related to judicial review but not every court has it. I think we should make the distinction between the two very clear, as it can be extremely confusing if they're conflated. I'll be cleaning up the article a bit in the coming weeks but, my fellow Wikipedians, I urge you: Please avoid using the two interchangeably Jourdy345 (talk) 23:06, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
