The president of the Supreme Court of Justice evaluated 169 judges or lawyers that aspire to be judges during three consecutive days at the Centro de Eventos y Exposiciones last week. The interviewing was open to the general public and the evaluation was amply covered by the press. Judge Juan Sully Bonelly said that the judges that will be chosen for Santo Domingo will be the envy of other judicial districts of the country. He said there were many very good professionals competing for the available positions, and that the selection will be difficult. He said that a side benefit of the evaluation is that lawyers and judges are more aware of the need to keep up to date. The Supreme Court now moves on to San Juan de la Maguana where it will also interview candidates to judges in that provinces.
