Coahuila judicial reform and institutional expansion

Overview

In Torreón, Coahuila, Governor Manolo Jiménez Salinas led a National Interinstitutional Meeting involving judicial authorities and civil society to strengthen the rule of law. During this event, Supreme Court Justice Yasmín Esquivel Mossa was sworn in as an honorary member of the Association of Women Lawyers of the State of Coahuila.

Following these efforts toward judicial coordination, the Judiciary of Coahuila announced plans to present a Discipline Law initiative to the State Congress. This law aims to establish a Discipline Tribunal to manage disciplinary files. Additionally, the institution intends to expand its workforce from 105 to approximately 130 judges across civil, family, mercantile, criminal, and labor matters to reduce processing backlogs. To support these reforms, the State Government has authorized an 80 million peso budget increase, with funds allocated for personnel hiring, salary improvements, technological infrastructure, and official vehicles.
