The president of the Supreme Court of Justice, Dr. Jorge Subero Isa, criticized the formation of 20,000 lawyers, many of which he said, were formed in inadequate law schools. He also was critical of the more than 4,000 notary publics in Santo Domingo, and said the number of these should not exceed 1,800. He requested the prompt approval by Congress of the judicial career bill, which would legalize efforts of the Supreme Court to appoint new judges to most of the nation’s courts.
