Overview
- After two postponed meetings, the court voted to elect Gutiérrez president for 2026, with his own abstention and one additional abstention recorded.
- Gutiérrez has confirmed he will leave the bench in November 2026, following Roberto Falistocco’s planned November exit and Eduardo Spuler’s resignation effective September 2026.
- Governor Maximiliano Pullaro welcomed the departures as the closing phase of an orderly renewal and said he will announce nominees who must be approved by the provincial Legislature.
- The 2025 constitutional reform expanded the court to seven members and set a 75-year age limit; recent additions Jorge Baclini, Margarita Zabalza and Rubén Weder have already reshaped its lineup.
- The renewed tribunal is expected to take shape in 2027, with outgoing justices pointing to digital case files and steps toward oral, public hearings, and Falistocco prioritizing labor-court reform before retiring.
