As a result of the merit-based competitive examination under Call for Applications No. 27 of the Judicial Branch, the Supreme Court of Justice recently swore in Diego Fernando Ram\u00edrez Sierra<\/strong> as a judge of the Civil\u2013Family Division of the Superior Court of the Judicial District of Bucaramanga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, Ram\u00edrez was awarded the Fulbright Visiting Student Researcher <\/strong>Fellowship, which enabled him to undertake an academic fellowship at Fordham University (U.S.) to strengthen his expertise in tort law <\/em>(law of damages and civil liability). Following this experience, he returned to Colombia with the goal of applying for higher-level positions in the administration of justice. <\/p>\n\n

In his role as a judge, he will be responsible for ruling on appeals in civil and family cases originating from district courts, as well as for adjudicating constitutional actions. His decisions will have a direct impact on the protection of citizens\u2019 rights, family stability, economic development, and legal certainty in the region. <\/p>\n\n

This achievement is the result of a solid career dedicated to the judiciary, research, and university teaching, and marks the beginning of a new phase focused on an independent, professional judiciary committed to the rule of law.<\/p>\n\n
