Mexico’s Judicial Reforms: A Legal Analysis [[link removed]]Tuesday, July 23 // 11:00 am–12:30 pm (ET)
On the heels of the June 2nd election the incoming Mexican administration has had to contend with market apprehensions and a 4% devaluation of the Mexican Peso, due in part to international concern over the implications of proposed judicial reforms in Mexico's legal system. While the Sheinbaum administration has done its best to assuage fears in the private sector by appointing technical experts within the presidential cabinet, questions remain as to what these proposed reforms will mean for the longterm health of the rule of law, legal certainty, and judicial autonomy in the country.
To discuss these reforms and their potential consequences, the Mexico Institute has convened a panel of leading legal experts for a webinar on Tuesday, July 23rd from 11am - 12:30pm EST.

Mexico's Judicial Reforms: Perspectives from the Private Sector [[link removed]]Thursday, July 25 // 11:00 am–12:30 pm (ET)
On February 5, 2024, current president, Andres Manuel López Obrador, proposed the most substantial judicial reforms (Plan “C”) Mexico has seen in its recent history. AMLO has argued that these reforms are necessary to correct a Judicial Branch that he sees as corrupt, inefficient and serving only elites.
To analyze and discuss these reforms put forward by the AMLO administration, the Mexico Institute will host representatives from industrial advocacy groups, binational business organizations, and former government officials. This conversation will include an overview of the proposed constitutional reforms, their potential repercussions on the US-Mexico trade relationship, among other topics from the perspective of private sector stakeholders.
