RIVERA LEON, Mauro Arturo. Directors and orchestras: a comparative análisis of the institutional position of the federal judicial council in Mexico. Bol. Mex. Der. Comp. [online]. 2020, vol.53, n.159, pp.1139-1179.  Epub Jan 21, 2022. ISSN 2448-4873.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iij.24484873e.2020.159.15802.

This article analyses the institutional position of the Federal Judicial Council in Mexico from a Comparative Law approach. It argues that the Federal Judicial Council’s configuration is subordinated to the Mexican Supreme Court and lacks institutional autonomy. This study analyses several options in comparative law that may ensure the institutional autonomy of the Council, such as the strengthening of its constitutional position, the election of the council’s president, and the regime pertaining to the overrule of its decisions. The article argues that the recent 2021 constitutional amendment did not provide a solution to a variety of concerns and may have even created further complications.

Keywords : Federal Judicial Council; constitutional autonomy; members of the council.
