Salcedo Fernández's evaluation in the Supreme Court will not take place

Nancy I. Salcedo Fernández, the second substitute judge to the president of the Supreme Court of Justice in the Dominican Republic, has formally notified President Luis Abinader of her decision to withdraw from the upcoming evaluation process. The communication was delivered this Monday to the President, who also serves as the head of the National Council of the Magistracy.

This decision marks a significant development regarding the composition and assessment procedures currently overseen by the National Council of the Magistracy. The evaluation process is a key component of the judicial oversight framework, and Salcedo Fernández’s choice not to participate impacts the current proceedings involving the Supreme Court of Justice.
