In early 2015, the Mexican presidency assigned the Centro de Investigacion y Docencia Economicas, a public research and education institution, to lead the Dialogues for Everyday Justice. Its purpose is to study, engage the participation of different stakeholders and ultimately generate a diagnosis to improve access to justice and the resolution of common and everyday conflicts.
This effort resulted in a package of reforms presented by President Enrique Peña Nieto in April, which will be known as a seminal event in Mexico’s legislative history. These reforms attempt to reorient the justice system toward an approach that promotes the resolution of the conflicts in a more practical and satisfactory way. These reforms attempt to address a wide range of disputes including civil, commercial, labor, family and other minor conflicts like neighborhood or school disputes. The package also seeks to homogenize the quality and characteristics of justice administration services all across Mexico.
