She stressed the changes that can be felt in legal matter and those coming soon, have the purpose to help the constitutional right of the population, to have easier access to justice. As example she said people under legal processes are benefited because they neither have to move to the main municipality nor the province. Another advantage is that the provincial courts can have a greater control and supervision with the authorities, as their direct administration of law has decreased, the official explained.
Deputies highlighted this way of administration with greater dynamism to judge and talked about their worries in relation to the number of young judges and district attorneys in the municipality level.
Officials also informed there was a training process of the staff and that they are also systematically monitoring their performance, “it is really a challenge, but the fact is that the general evaluation is more positive than the imperfections, which can be possibly corrected, Charro Ruiz said.
