Legal experts Magaly Vásquez, Joel García, and Alí Daniels express optimism regarding the formation of a Verification Council tasked with evaluating candidates for magistrate positions within the *Tribunal Supremo de Justicia* (TSJ) in Venezuela. They emphasize the positive aspect of the Council comprising primarily of representatives from civil society. The experts acknowledge the importance of assessing the Council’s effectiveness through its results, questioning whether it will actually achieve its intended goal. The discussion centers on the necessary qualifications new magistrates should possess to restore judicial independence to the *Tribunal Supremo de Justicia*. This development comes as *EL NACIONAL* reports on the ongoing efforts to reform the selection process for the country's highest court. Ultimately, the success of this Council will determine if the *Tribunal Supremo de Justicia* can regain public trust and operate independently.
