Overview

  • He will assume the SCJN presidency on September 1 as the first justice chief chosen by popular vote since Benito Juárez, albeit with reduced administrative authority under 2024 reforms.
  • He plans to eliminate opaque rulings and require that case files be assigned within 48 hours rather than the current 15-day window.
  • He intends to strengthen the newly formed Tribunal de Disciplina to sanction corrupt judges and prevent entrenched power groups from resurfacing.
  • He proposes open, non-coercive dialogue with the Executive and Legislature to maintain judicial independence without unnecessary confrontation.
  • He will prioritize human rights abuse and indigenous land-rights cases, collaborating with experts and communities to define sacred territories and cultural protections.
