ARThe Argentine government has proposed several judicial reforms aimed at restructuring the judiciary system. The plan includes filling all 300 vacant national and federal judgeships by year-end, ensuring that 40% of these positions are filled by candidates from within the judiciary rather than political figures. Additionally, there is a proposal to shorten the tenure of the Procurator General of the Nation from a lifetime appointment until age 75 to a term of two periods, though the exact duration remains undetermined. The president has yet to decide whether to fill the two Supreme Court vacancies in the second half of the year or wait until 2028. The Supreme Court's chief justice, Ricardo Lorenzetti, has emphasized the need for judges from the federal judiciary to fill these roles. Meanwhile, discussions continue over a law to limit the Procurator General's mandate, which currently allows for lifelong service. The current interim procurator, Eduardo Casal, has been managing the role since 2017.
