All members of the Supreme Court of Justice will travel to the southwestern province of Barahona to evaluate lawyers aspiring to be appointed judges. The Supreme Court members will be in Barahona from 21 to 23 February. The Supreme Court had travelled to Montecristi on 30 and 31 January for the same purpose. The press coverage of the Montecristi meetings revealed most of those aspiring to be judges are not qualified and that the search for knowledgeable, upright judges has been difficult. The Supreme Court has prepared a mail box where residents of Barahona, as those in Montecristi, can present their complaints against the conduct of the present judges.
