Council of the Judiciary defines roadmap for renewing the Supreme Court

The National Council of the Magistracy (CNM) in the Dominican Republic has established the procedural roadmap for the upcoming renewal of the Supreme Court of Justice (SCJ). This process follows the formal announcement by SCJ President Luis Henry Molina and Judge Nancy Salcedo, who serves as the secretary of the CNM, that they will not seek reappointment for another term on the high court.

The decision by Molina and Salcedo to step down initiates a formal transition period within the judiciary. By declining to pursue additional terms, these two officials have effectively cleared the path for the appointment of new members to the Supreme Court, marking a significant shift in the composition of the nation's highest judicial body.
