The vacancy in Misdemeanor Court No. 3 opened seven years ago, after the resignation of the last judge. At the same time, his duties were taken over by solutions.
Now, with the official proposal submitted by the municipal executive, the goal is to fill this position with a professional who, according to the dossier, “meets the necessary ethical and suitability conditions for this position.”
Candidate profile
Burstein is a lawyer – with a degree from the National University of La Plata (UNLP) – and a temporary professor of commercial law II at that university. In addition, he held the position of Director of Supervision and Prevention of Money Laundering at the Ministry of Justice in Buenos Aires until the end of 2024.
His professional career is complemented by time spent at a private law firm, adding experience to the submitted CV.
Initiation status and subsequent treatment
The document was approved by the Legislative Committee and agreed to be processed in the regular session. If he gets the vote in his favour, Berstein will take over as a corrupt judge in the coming days.
Addressing the file will coincide with other important issues on the council’s agenda, including urban law reform and budget discussions.
