The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Dominican Republic will no longer conduct personal interviews and all his communications will henceforth be via press releases. According to Listin Diario, this measure is aimed at avoiding confusion and misunderstandings that occur when making off the cuff comments to journalists. Rosa Cuello, the press official for the Supreme Court, told reporters that from now on, “…the president of the Supreme Court will not offer statements except through press releases or written communication.” The decision comes after he recently announced that the entire court would meet in January, after the celebrations surrounding the Day of the Justice System, and discuss the possible replacement of judge Pedro Romero Confesor. Romero Confesor has reached the age of 75 and the Foundation for Institutionality and Justice (FINJUS) has called for his retirement. Some newspapermen and women felt that Subero Isa should not have mentioned this, and other commentators said that the Chief Justice was just trying to implement the law, which says that the judges should retire at 70. Subero Isa emphasized that he fully appreciated and understood the men and women of the press, but he wished to avoid such controversies in the future.
