The National Council of the Magistracy, convened by President Leonel Fernandez to begin sessions on 11 August to choose judges for the leading courts of the nation, says that it has received 112 files of aspirants to the Supreme Court of Justice (58), the Higher Electoral Court (22) and the Constitutional Court (18).
Supreme Court of Justice president, Jorge Subero Isa said the preference is to choose among the justices of the nation's courts of appeals. Women will be given preference, as reported in Listin Diario. He expressed his preference that the judges chosen for the Supreme Court of Justice be career judges.
The Foundation for Justice and Institutionality (Finjus) says that while the selection has a political bias it should be public and transparent.
The Finjus and the UASD are organizing debates regarding the judicial system and other issues of national interest. The first conversation will be "Following the Integration of the High Courts," which is set for 25 August. Moreover, the two entities have programmed a monthly "The Round Table of Judicial Reflection." The first will focus on the "Challenges of the Constitutional Tribunal," and will take place during the first week of October.
