The constitutional reform of 2024 represents the most significant change to the judiciary in Mexico's history. Its implications are extensive. All federal and state judges will be replaced within less than three years. New judges will be elected through a popular voting process, which is unprecedented globally. Additionally, important mechanisms for protecting rights, such as the amparo lawsuit—Mexico's primary judicial tool for safeguarding constitutional rights—will be notably weakened.
In light of such a significant change, the works presented in this book clearly explain the reform's content, making it accessible to a broad audience that may not be well-acquainted with the Mexican justice system. Addition ally, these works offer insights into the potential impact of this constitutional change. We believe that such a complex and radical reform requires careful and thorough analysis.
This book brings together the work of a group of specialists in the Mexi can judicial system. Based on solid arguments and empirical evidence, these analyses provide a comprehensive overview of the most plausible scenarios that could arise when this storm hits Mexico's complex and diverse social conflicts. In this context, it is essential to emphasize that the impact of the reform is not limited to the popular election of judges. The reform is much broader and more complex, as it reshapes fundamental aspects of both the Federal Judiciary and the state judicial branches. The book examines the major changes in the structure and operation of the courts that extend beyond the election of judges. It also explores what these changes could mean for various stakeholders, from the most vulnerable populations to businesses and investors operating in the country.
