Justice Minister Julio Alak has announced Dr Roberto Carlés has been proposed by the Government to fill the vacant spot on the Supreme Court left by Dr Raúl Zaffaroni in December 2014.
Zaffaroni left his position on December 31, reducing the number of members of the Argentine Supreme Court to four.
President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner decided to propose Carlés today and his candidacy will now be evaluated in the Senate.
Dr Roberto Carlés graduated with honors from the University of Buenos Aires, where he specialized in criminal law. He is secretary of the Latin American Criminal Law Association and President of the Young Criminal Lawyers Association.
Carlés coordinated the project to reform the Penal Code. He is 33 years old and, if elected, would be the youngest Supreme Court member in history
