The Judiciary of Mexico officially the Judicial Power of the Federation (Spanish: Poder Judicial de la Federación, PJF) is one of the three branches of government in Mexico, and the sole federal judiciary power. It is composed of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, which serves as its highest court, the Federal Judiciary Council, the Federal Electoral Tribunal, regional courts, circuit and appellate collegiate courts, and district courts.
Its foundations can be found in Title III, Chapter IV (comprising fourteen articles) of the Constitution of Mexico and the Organic Law of the Judicial Power of the Federation. The Federal Jury of Citizens and the courts of the states and Mexico City can act in support of Federal Justice in cases provided for by the Constitution and the laws.
The administration, oversight, and discipline of the Judiciary of Mexico, with the exception of the Supreme Court of Justice and the Electoral Tribunal, are entrusted to the Federal Judiciary Council. In this branch and its ensemble of institutions, the authority to administer justice in all institutional aspects of the Mexican state is vested, including the application of legal norms and principles in conflict resolution, and in all areas of law enforcement and interpretation in society (civil, criminal, constitutional, commercial, labor, administrative, fiscal, procedural, etc.).[1][2][3]
