The construction of a constitutional court in an emerging democracy : the Mexican supreme court (1994-2018)
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This study presents a general account of the evolution and the transformations of the Mexican Supreme Court since the major constitutional reform of 1994. To do so, this study relies on the recent literature that analyzes the concept of legal culture inside high courts to identify a characteristic of the Supreme Court that has received significantly little attention from the general literature, the coexistence in the Supreme Court of justices that developed their professional career inside the federal judiciary, the insiders, and justices that were appointed to the Supreme Court without having any previous professional experience in the federal judiciary, the outsiders. This study argues that these two types of justices, insiders and outsiders, have remarkably different views regarding the role of the Supreme Court in the political life of the country and their role as justices. In this context, this study claims that the coexistence of these two types of justices in the Supreme Court, insiders and outsiders, together with the tensions that the 1994 constitutional reform incorporated to the institutional design of the Supreme Court are essential to understand the evolution and transformations of this institution in the years since the constitutional reform of 1994.
