Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has appointed Solicitor General Jorge Messias to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court, the government said in a Thursday statement. The seat is opening up after Justice Luis Roberto Barroso last week announced he was stepping down from the court, about eight years ahead of the deadline for his mandatory retirement.
