The 2024 Mexican judicial reform is a series of constitutional amendments that restructured the judiciary of Mexico.
It reduces the number of Supreme Court justices from 11 to 9 and limits their terms to 12 years.
The reform also allows the use of "faceless" judges and establishes a new tribunal for judicial oversight and accountability, while significantly reducing benefits and salaries previously received by members of the judiciary.
