Wednesday at the Court of Cassation, the President Michel Martelly, accompanied by Senate Vice President, Sen. Ronald Larèche and Vice-president of the Lower House, the Deputy Jacques St-Louis, attended the official ceremony of swearing in of two new judges of the Superior Council of the Judiciary (CSPJ), Me René Sylvestre and Me Liez Édouard, respectively Government Commissioner at the Court of Cassation and barrister at the Bar of Miragoâne.

Under Article 7 of the Law of 13 November 2007 creating the CSPJ, the Head of State gave notice of their swearing in the presence among others of Me Jules Cantave, President of the Court of Cassation, of judges and parliamentarians.
