Mexico judicial workload and system pressures

Overview

The judicial system in Mexico is experiencing a significant increase in caseloads. Data from the National Census of Federal and State Justice Administration indicates that criminal cases in the accusatory and adolescent justice systems rose by 8.6 percent in 2025. At the federal level, matters entered into jurisdictional bodies grew by 41 percent, reaching 2.78 million, even as the real budget of the Federal Judiciary saw a 2.6 percent reduction.

Specific crime categories showed sharp increases, including a 34.4 percent rise in offenses involving weapons and explosives, and a 207.3 percent increase in hydrocarbon-related offenses. The volume of incoming matters exceeded resolved cases by more than 61,000.

In response to these pressures, the Alliance for Development and Competitiveness of Companies (ADECEM) has proposed implementing Alternative Dispute Resolution mechanisms within the Administrative Justice Tribunal in Sinaloa. This proposal aims to provide faster solutions for disputes involving fines, pensions, and contract breaches to prevent long, complicated trials.
