Overview

• The oath-taking will bring together 881 incoming judicial officers, including Supreme Court ministers, electoral tribunal magistrates and district-level judges.
• With only 40 seats for inductees and 90 gallery spots in the plenary hall, the Senate has broken the ceremony into tandas and rented Hotel Sevilla Palace to host overflowing participants and their families.
• The ceremony’s order of entry begins with the nine Supreme Court ministers—five women and four men—each allowed one or two family members, followed by TEPJF magistrates and the remaining magistrados de tribunales colegiados and jueces de distrito.
• Outgoing Senate president Gerardo Fernández Noroña said the session is being planned as an austere solemn event that "va a salir al tiro" even as he warned the opposition may seek to disrupt proceedings.
• Despite these arrangements, detailed protocols for crowd flow and entry sequencing into the Senate plenary remain unresolved, posing one of the final hurdles before the evening-long ceremony.
