Episode Electing the Bench: Mexico’s Judicial Overhaul and the Rule of Law with Julio Ríos-Figueroa
Mexico is navigating one of the most sweeping judicial transformations in modern constitutional history—a controversial reform replacing thousands of career federal and state judges with bench positions decided by direct popular vote. But what does this mean for the rule of law, institutional independence, and the future of checks and balances in Latin America's second-largest economy?
In this episode, we sit down with Julio Ríos-Figueroa, Associate Professor of Law at ITAM and one of the region's leading experts on comparative judicial politics and empirical legal studies. Together, we unpack the mechanics and fallout of this radical shift.
