Mexico is undergoing various judicial and legal reforms focused on mediation, procedural updates, and modernization. In September 2026, judicial entities in Chiapas and Chihuahua promoted alternative dispute resolution mechanisms (MASC) to reduce court workloads and strengthen social fabric. This included the inauguration of Mediation Week in Chiapas and the State Mediation Forum in Chihuahua. Additionally, the upcoming National Tres Culturas Mediation Congress in Ciudad Cuauhtémoc aims to address restorative justice and digital transformation in mediation. By October 2026, efforts shifted toward the implementation of new procedural codes. Academic institutions, such as the Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas, organized congresses to address the challenges of the new National Code of Civil and Family Procedures. Simultaneously, the Judiciary of Mexico City presented a commented version of the National Code of Criminal Procedures, a project involving 17 judges intended to modernize and digitize legal access. During the same period, the State of Mexico expanded its mediation efforts through the Superior Court of Justice, which launched an itinerant program of mediation caravans. Beginning in Otzolotepec, the program aims to reach 29 communities to resolve conflicts through dialogue. Officials stated that agreements reached through these mechanisms carry the same legal weight as a court sentence and can be monitored via virtual centers to promote a culture of peace and social reconstruction.
