More than a month after applications for magistrates and judges were received by the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), the screening process continues and is being conducted on a points system before interviews, sources say.
While Chairperson of the JSC and acting Chancellor Yonette Cummings-Edwards is still to respond to the Sunday Stabroek’s request for an update on the process, sources say that applications have been received and are “in the process of being screened.”
The Sunday Stabroek last week visited the Chancellor’s office and was told that she still had not yet responded to the request made by way of letter.
It is unclear how long the applicants would have to wait for feedback as the vacancy notice had only given a November 20th 2023 date for closing of applications.
