We begin with the commandant of appointing judges and law officers to maintain peace and order in each city.  Moshe then details specific laws for judges against corruption and perversion of justice. As the Pasuk says (16:20) "Tzedek Tzedek tirdof - You shall surely pursue justice." We find what place Moshe is referring to when he says God's chosen place. We learn whether it is a physical location or an internal destination.
