Francisco Rebollo

Who is Francisco Rebollo?

Francisco Rebollo, a former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico, served in that position from 1982 to 2008. Appointed by Governor Carlos Romero Barceló, Rebollo served under Chief Justices Víctor Pons, José Andreu García, and Federico Hernández Denton, as well as under Chief Justice Miriam Naveira, in addition to having served as acting Chief Justice himself.

Prior to joining the Supreme Court Rebollo served as a Superior Court judge and as an attorney in private practice.

He resigned on July 31, 2008, prior to reaching the mandatory retirement age of 70 in August 2008. Speculation suggested that the resultant vacancy would probably remain unfilled until the swearing in of a new governor on January 2, 2009.
