With yesterday's evaluation of eight of the 14 judges on the Supreme Court of Justice who are not at retirement age, the National Council of Magistrates (CNM) is getting ready to announce the names of the 40 new judges and their substitutes, who will occupy positions on the high courts. In the meantime, the Senate president, Reinaldo Pared Perez, hopes that this month the 17 magistrates of the Supreme Court of Justice (SCJ), the 13 of the Constitutional Tribunal and the five who will sit on the Superior Electoral Tribunal, all with an equal number of substitutes.
