Overview

  • The Órgano de Administración Judicial unanimously approved temporary salary schedules for September to December 2025 that ensure top judiciary officials will not earn more than President Claudia Sheinbaum, citing constitutional Article 127.
  • Monthly pay for the nine Supreme Court ministers was set at 191,656 pesos, a 14,344‑peso reduction from the previous 206,000, according to the OAJ communiqué released near midnight.
  • Mid‑ and operational‑level salaries remain unchanged while higher bands that exceeded the presidential salary were adjusted, high‑level officials will have ISSSTE social security, and workers with judicial suspensions will receive complementary adjustments.
  • The OAJ completed initial staffing of key posts, naming Sergio Javier Molina Martínez to lead the National Judicial Training School and Benjamín Rubio Chávez to the Federal Public Defender’s Office, and it formalized membership of its permanent commissions.
  • Newly elected judges must complete a compulsory specialization course from September 8 to 12 run by the EFJ, with remote access and sessions at the Reclusorio Sur for accusatory criminal court judges.
