Overview

  • The Tribunal de Disciplina Judicial was formally installed in Mexico City and began operations with its five magistrates sworn in.
  • The body’s members said they will not act as inquisitors or pursue officials who opposed the reform, framing their role as legal and nonpolitical.
  • The tribunal will police judicial conduct rather than review court rulings, with authority to sanction misconduct by federal judges and magistrates.
  • Magistrates said they will examine the origin of judges’ wealth and target corruption and nepotism across the federal judiciary.
  • Officials outlined plans for integrated control and supervision, standardized procedures, training and preventive programs, along with a commitment to citizen access and austere spending.
