Council of the Judiciary: who are heading the four lists of lawyers for the October elections

The deadline for submitting candidate lists for the upcoming Consejo de la Magistratura elections passed this Monday. Four slates of lawyers have been registered with the Electoral Board, which is hosted at the headquarters of the Argentine Federation of Bar Associations (FACA). These candidates will compete in the national elections scheduled for October 20 to determine the legal representatives who will serve on the judicial oversight body. The selection process is a significant event for the composition of the Consejo de la Magistratura, the institution responsible for the selection, appointment, and discipline of federal judges in Argentina.
