After publication, the committees must now move on to the second stage, where they will qualify the suitability, that is, they will evaluate the candidates considering their technical knowledge necessary to perform the position they are seeking and that they have distinguished themselves for their “honesty, good reputation public, competence and academic and professional background” during the exercise of their judicial activity. Each Committee placed different percentages on each item.
The last stage will be a process of insaculation or raffle to “adjust” the number of applicants for each position. There will be three candidates for minister of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN) for magistrates of the Electoral Tribunal of the Judicial Branch of the Federation (TEPJF) and for the Disciplinary Court; two more will be for Circuit magistrates and District judges.
The final lists must be sent to each Branch of the Union for “approval”; That is to say, although the committees choose the candidates, it will be the Executive, the Legislative and the Judicial who approve or reject the contenders. Afterwards, the final lists with the names of the candidates must be sent to the Senate.
