The Superior Council of the Judicial Power (CSPJ in French) released the conclusions of its deliberations dedicated to the certification of 159 magistrates on Wednesday, September 23. Meeting in statutory sessions from September 7 to 10, 2026, Council members examined files submitted by the Technical Certification Commission to rule on their approval.
At the conclusion of this review, 119 magistrates were approved, while 17 others did not obtain certification. Information communicated by the CSPJ indicates that decisions of non-certification were notably linked to considerations regarding the professional and moral integrity of the magistrates concerned.
The minutes also report two magistrates who ceased their duties due to job abandonment and seven others slated for retirement. Fourteen dossiers have not yet received a final decision, as the Council deemed it necessary to conduct further investigations before making a ruling.
Among the 17 uncertified magistrates are Nivrose Alexis, Carl Giovanny Aubourg, Choubert Baptiste, Dieuveuil Boileau, Brenord Louicius, Jean Thomas Cantave, Jean Junior Constant, Jean Fresner Destin, and Jean Thomas Espady. The list also includes Joseph André Exavier, Raymonde Jean Antoine, Pierre Jean Lajoie, Mirlène Jocelin Martineau, Dominique Noël, Winifred Noelcin, Gérald Bélony Norgaisse, and Jean Saint-Louis, according to the minutes made public by the CSPJ.
