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.

Addressing the two new judges, the Head of State declared "I rely on your valuable contribution and I formulate you my best wishes for every success in fulfilling your mandate and in fulfilling your mission," adding "I hope that the presence of these new members will contribute to the revitalization of the Superior Council of the Judiciary."

The appointment by presidential decree and the official installation of these two new judges to replace judges Thiers Malette and Patrice Cadet completes again the CSJP.
