On Thursday, 6 July, the National Magistracy Council (CNM) will begin the evaluation of the 169 applicants to become judges of the Supreme Court (SCJ) and the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE). The meeting will be at the Presidential Palace and is scheduled to begin at 4 PM. Of the applicants 36 are applying for both positions, 102 for the TSE and 67 for the SCJ.
Applicants aiming to be a TSE judge include Román Jáquez Liranzo, dean of the Law Faculty at the Catholic University of Santo Domingo, who is currently a supplementary judge at the court. Mariano Rodríguez, Mabel Feliz, Marino Mendoza and John Guiliani, who are currently TSE judges, wish to continue in their posts and Guiliani is also applying to go to the SCJ.
The former president of the SCJ, Jorge Subero Isa and the secretary of the Economic and Social Council (CES), Iraima Capriles, were left off the list of candidates for the TSE as they do not meet the published requirements for the position.
Others who did not qualify for consideration include Rafael Amando Vallejos Santelises, Luis Mora Guzmán, Isis Muñiz Almonte, Roberto Castillo María, Saulo Isabel Díaz, Evelyn Fermín Díaz, Amaury Pimentel, José Manuel Glass Gutiérrez, Ignacio Camacho, Pedro Sánchez Rivera, Bernabel Moricete and Julio Aníbal Suárez.
