The Supreme Court's chief magistrate, Jorge Subero Isa proposed the creation of a Judicial Council that would be "responsible for the management of the Judicial Power, and have charge of all administrative, managerial, and discipline functions of the judicial branch." Subero Isa spoke on "The New Wave of Judicial Reform" when invited to a Foundation for Institutionalism and Justice (FINJUS) luncheon at the Santo Domingo Hilton attended by leading members of political parties, churches, business, the judicial and legislative branches of government, diplomats, and other opinion-making members of society.
He called for the National Council of Magistrates (CNM) to nominate additional judges to the Supreme Court. Subero also favored changing the present immovability status for a performance job review of the magistrates every ten years to see if these are worthy of continuing at their posts.
He also suggested an increase in the number of members of the CNM, including the president of the College of Lawyers, a representative of an NGO related to the judicial sector, and one of the deans from one of the nation's law schools.
Subero said that the axis of what he called the second wave of judicial reform had to relate to those aspects that are not jurisdictional, but administrative. He proposed that these aspects be handled by a third body in the Judicial Branch.
Subero Isa also addressed the environment in his speech. He said the country is being destroyed by natural resource predators, which he attributed to implementation of bad policies and lack of penalties in the DR. He proposed that special courts for damage to the environment be created.
