Constitutional Reform Concerning The Judicial Branch

On September 15, 2024, the package of amendments to various articles of the Constitution that was recently approved by the Mexican federal Congress and the majority of the state legislatures to reform the Judicial Branch (the "Reform"), was published in Federal Register.

The Reform had its origin in a bill of amendments submitted by President López Obrador in February of this year, and although all the fundamental principles of that bill were preserved, the final result includes several modifications included as a result of its discussion in the House of Representatives.

Below you will find a summary of the changes envisaged in the Reform that we consider most relevant, which we have compiled and summarized in their most important aspects under seven headings.
