The rising demand for judicial services has motivated the Supreme Court of Justice to increase all the Judicial Branch departments’ working schedule. According to Listin Diario, judicial services will be offered from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm starting from Monday, 31 October 2005, a one-hour increase from the previous schedule, which lasted until 3:30 pm. The measure is meant to offer a more efficient judicial service to the public and faster processing of cases being tried in different courts around the country. Recently, the Attorney General Department had taken the same decision to increase working hours for its employees. Neither institution has indicated increases in salary for the extra time required.
