The Plenary Chamber of the Supreme Court, made up of 18 supreme judges, today elected the supreme judge Janet Tello Gilardi as president of Judiciary for the period from January 2025 to December 2026. She beat two other judges Carlos Arias Lazarte and Manuel Luján Túpez and Javier Arévalo Vela in office.
Tello, who presides over the First Chamber of Constitutional and Social Law, offered, in his government proposal before the election, to strengthen the leadership of the Judicial Branch, jurisdictional management and administrative support at the national level and guarantee access to justice.
In his first statements to the press, Tello assured that he will seek to place the Judiciary in a position equivalent to that of the other powers of the State (Congress and Executive Branch). Likewise, it will focus on articulated work “to move the country forward” and on “opening the doors for dialogue with the community.”
“We are going to continue the work with the Electronic Judicial File in all specialties throughout the country and with all the policies that allow us to strengthen access to justice,” says Dr. Tello Gilardi after being elected as president of the Judiciary… pic.twitter.com/h0LW1B1vAp

“I want to thank the colleagues of the Plenary Chamber who have voted for me, and I am sure that I will not disappoint because it is a position of honor. On January 2 it will be formally, as appropriate, and in the meantime, to follow all the advancing policies on this path to optimize the justice service with the intensive use of technology, improving jurisdictional and administrative management and, as I already mentioned, bringing justice to vulnerable people,” he noted.
Tello Gilardi, likewise, renewed his commitment to the institution which, he said, “I have served for almost forty years.”
At another time, he maintained that he will also focus on the implementation and creation of new flagrancy units.
“We also have to work with the Prosecutor’s Office and the Police, to be a more efficient unit in the fight against citizen insecurity and my proposal is that it be expanded to include crimes of feminicide,” he anticipated.
