# Judicial delays in San Luis Potosí > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/judicial-delays-in-san-luis-potos > Updated: 2026-09-25T18:59:21.000Z. Sources: 4. Developments: 2. Legal professionals and civil rights organizations in San Luis Potosí have raised alarms regarding significant judicial delays. Attorney Alejandra Cristal Rivera Velázquez reported that agreements that previously took two or three days can now take up to 15 days, with some judicial resolutions stretching for months or even a year. These delays are attributed to heavy workloads, staffing shortages, retirements, and holiday periods. The backlog is particularly impactful in family law cases, where a lack of judicial experience can lead to errors necessitating further legal action through amparo trials. The civil organization Red Libres emphasized the human cost of these delays, specifically for children and adolescents. Human rights defender Claudia Cuéllar noted that while legal proceedings drag on, the developmental needs, family bonds, and daily routines of minors are being disrupted. The organization stressed that children must be treated as “rights-holders rather than mere case files or negotiation tools.” ## Timeline ### 2026-09-25: San Luis Potosí judicial delays impact family law and child rights Judicial delays in San Luis Potosí are causing significant backlogs in family law, impacting the rights and development of children and adolescents as legal resolutions take months or years. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/san-luis-potos-judicial-delays-impact-family-law-and-child-rights ### 2026-09-20: San Luis Potosí approves specialized prosecutor for forced disappearances San Luis Potosí has approved a new Specialized Prosecutor's Office to investigate forced disappearances, providing the entity with its own budget and structure to meet federal and international standards. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/san-luis-potos-approves-specialized-prosecutor-for-forced-disappearances --- Cite as: Judicial delays in San Luis Potosí.
