Juana FuentesDirector of the Association of Circuit Magistrates and District Judges of the Judicial Power of the Federation (JUFED), warns that there will be a “Justice without experience“And weakened.
That is due, Fuentes explains in an interview with Political expansionthat the new judges are not the most trained profiles, but those who appeared in the accordions that were distributed throughout the country before the election.
We can bring all the legal knowledge of certain matters, but what is the judicial career, which is the fact of how to process an issue that reaches the official officer, how to capture the right in a sentence, that in two months is not going to be turned on ”.
Juana Fuentes, director of Jufed.
Fuentes considers that the learning curve will be a risk to the judicial system and also for users, since longer processes and resolutions are outlined.
“That implies that the issues that, in itself there is criticism that is not possible to attend in the times that the law marks, now the procedures will be later. Justice cannot pause and say: ‘in which the new judge arrives and is soaked in the file, because it does not matter that he leaves my relative in jail,” he observes.
The federal judge in criminal matters, Roberto Omar ParedesHe criticizes that in two months the new judges are to train, even if their work is “delicate” and requires specialized knowledge.
“It really is a short time, but like everything else, in this (judicial) reform they did it steamed, so it was rather the intention to get it as soon as possible. I remember that they said: ‘You have to take it out by September of 2024’. They did not have the time to mature it and that is why they have made mistake after error and pifia after pifia,” he says.
Courses to counterreloj
In Aguascalienteselected judges take two -month courses that began in July and will last two months, so they will end a few days before they take protest as judges or magistrates.
During the training, issues of civil, family and commercial matters are addressed, as well as introductory courses on the functioning of the Judiciary.
In Baja Californiathe local judiciary began to teach the elected judges in order to “strengthen the judicial exercise and guarantee adequate preparation for the start of functions”, as read in its call.
These courses are aimed at the people who won the elections and who for the first time will be part of the Judicial Power of the State, or who played some management or jurisdictional function within the system.
They will last 90 hours – both in person as virtual – with the aim of giving them tools to “strengthen their performance” within the accusatory criminal justice system.
