Mexico's Judicial Reforms: Perspectives from the Private Sector

On February 5, 2024, the current president, Andres Manuel López Obrador, proposed the most substantial judicial reform in Mexico´s recent history. AMLO has argued that such reform is necessary to correct a Judicial Branch that he sees as corrupt, inefficient, and serving only elites. 

However, the proposed reform has raised alarms in Mexico and abroad, partially due to its lack of clarity and the questions about the future of legal certainty and judicial autonomy in the country. These concerns broadly impact private sector interests, especially the deeply intertwined business relationship between the US and Mexico. 

The Mexico Institute will host representatives from industrial advocacy groups, binational business organizations, and former government officials to analyze and discuss the reform proposed by the AMLO administration. This conversation will include an overview of the proposed constitutional reform and its potential repercussions on the US-Mexico trade relationship, among other topics, from the perspective of private sector stakeholders. 

Join the Mexico Institute on Thursday, July 25th from 11:00am-12:30pm EST via Zoom for this informative and exciting discussion.

This event will be held in English, and Spanish interpretation will be available.
