SUAREZ AVILA, Alberto Abad. Judicial amparo and the judicial reform in Mexico (1987-2018). Cuest. Const. [online]. 2020, n.43, pp.433-461.  Epub Dec 13, 2021. ISSN 1405-9193.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24484881e.2020.43.15190.

This paper departs from a crucial question to Mexican constitutionalism. After an intense period of three decades of judicial system reform, what is today’s Judicial Amparo main role? To answer the former, the author proposes a sociolegal methodology, analyzing two variables: 1) the impact big scale constitutional reform on the system of justice has over Judicial Amparo, and 2) the constitutional reform to the Judicial amparo itself. The main hypothesis of this paper is that both variables are extremely important to understand today’s role of Judicial Amparo, due to the enaction of new means of protection and conflict resolution, that could have a relevant effect on due process and other constitutional violations. The paper concludes that the judicial reform ratifies the controlling of the judicial system as the main function of the Judicial Amparo, over other expectations built during the previous years.

Keywords : judicial protection; constitutional reform; justice.
