The changes
The modifications to the Organic Law imply, for example, the transformation of the Federal Judiciary Council into the Judicial Administration Body endowed with independence and technical and managerial autonomy to issue its resolutions, functionally and organically separated from the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation.
This Law creates the Judicial Disciplinary Court, which will be established as a judicial governance body responsible for effectively managing the material, human, financial and technological resources of the PJF.
This court will be responsible for sanctioning unethical conduct and irregularities by members of the Judiciary.
“The Plenary Session of the Judicial Disciplinary Court will be competent to resolve in the second instance regarding serious misconduct procedures allegedly committed by public servants of the PJF who perform administrative functions,” it is indicated as part of its powers.
The new Judicial Career Law foresees that this will be “an institutional system integrated by the processes of entry, training, promotion, performance evaluation, permanence and separation from the position of the public servants that comprise it, based on merit and equality. of opportunities.”
With the judicial reform, this Judicial Career was shortened, so that the highest level to which the members of the PJF can aspire will be that of court or collegiate secretary, or general secretary.
Meanwhile, the reform to the Law of Administrative Responsibilities harmonizes the legal framework related to the regime of responsibilities of public servants of the PJF.
