As seen in El Tiempo

According to the president of Colombia’s Supreme Court, Camilo Tarquino, Colombia needs nearly 4,000 additional judges to allow its notoriously slow justice system to work more efficiently and to ease the backlog of judicial cases, El Tiempo reported.

Currently Colombia has 4,500 judges.
