Michoacán Congress issues call for State Attorney General applicants

Interested legal professionals must submit their documentation between November 9 and November 13, 2026, at the Legislative Power building in Morelia. The selection process will include interviews and project evaluations to establish a list of ten profiles. This list will then be sent to the state executive to form a shortlist for final legislative voting.

Mandatory requirements for applicants include Mexican nationality, a minimum age of 35, at least three years of residency in Michoacán, and a professional law degree. Candidates must also demonstrate ten years of legal practice, possess a good reputation, and have no criminal convictions for intentional crimes or active administrative responsibility proceedings.
