The Making of Law
Despite Porfirio Díaz's authoritarian rule (1877-1911) and the fifteen years of violent conflict typifying much of Mexican politics after 1917, law and judicial decision-making were important for the country's political and economic organization. Influenced by French theories of jurisprudence in addition to domestic events, progressive Mexican legal thinkers concluded that the liberal view of law-as existing primarily to guarantee the rights of individuals and of private property-was inadequate for solving the \"social question\"; the aim of the legal regime should instead be one of harmoniously regulating relations between interdependent groups of social actors. This book argues that the federal judiciary's adjudication of labor disputes and its elaboration of new legal principles played a significant part in the evolution of Mexican labor law and the nation's political and social compact. Indeed, this conclusion might seem paradoxical in a country with a civil law tradition, weak judiciary, authoritarian government, and endemic corruption. Suarez-Potts shows how and why judge-made law mattered, and why contemporaries paid close attention to the rulings of Supreme Court justices in labor cases as the nation's system of industrial relations was established.

Mexico's Supreme Court
Although Mexico's Constitution of 1917 mandated the division of large landholdings, provided land for the landless, and guaranteed workers the rights to organize, strike, and bargain collectively, it also guaranteed fundamental liberal rights to property and due process that enabled property owners and employers to resist the implementation of the new social rights by filing suit in federal court. Taking as its main focus the way new and old rights were adjudicated before the Supreme Court, this book is the first to examine the subject through the lens of court documents and the writings and commentaries of jurists and other legal professionals. The author asks and answers the question, how did the judicial interpretation of the Constitution of 1917 become a barrier to implementing agrarian land rights and labor legislation in the years immediately following Mexico's social revolution of 1910?

Cortes, Jueces y Doctrina. Breve ensayo comparativo sobre la jurisprudencia en materia de protección de los DESC
This article focuses on the impact of jurisprudential production of the recent sentences of the Supreme Court (Mexico) and the Constitutional Court of Portugal, for the protection of ESCR and their impact on the public policy design by the other two powers: legislative and executive. These considerations were produced as part of a larger investigation of a comparative nature which attempts to define the production of a balance between law and politics, from the analysis of the formation of judgments relating to ESCR. Our research aims to verify the similitudes and common trends between these two supreme bodies, with an empirical method: 1) if there is a clear mutual understanding of doctrinal formant in that case law, through research legal literature related to the judgments of the Supreme Court; 2) if so, what role the related doctrine legitimates the sentences; and finally, 3) what are the determinants of doctrinal formant circulation in the constitutional jurisprudence and legitimacy.

La ley Juárez
Recién nombrado ministro de Justicia, Benito Juárez decretó el 23 de noviembre de 1855, la promulgación de \"La ley Juárez\", la que desató una serie de opiniones en favor y en contra. Estas últimas surgidas en un principio, al frente de los sectores afectados: la Iglesia, el ejército y la Suprema Corte de Justicia, ya que esta ley contaba en su esencia con tres puntos de importancia política: la supresión de fueros, la organización de la Suprema Corte y la creación del Tribunal Superior del Distrito Federal. La controversia rebasó los límites de su tiempo, que incluyó desde la fuerte discusión dentro de la otrora clase política y de los periódicos de la época, hasta la generación de opiniones de parte de los estudiosos posteriores; simpatizantes y detractores. /// Benito Juarez, when recently appointed Minister of Justice, decreed on November 23rd, 1855, the so-called \"Ley Juárez\", which gave place to many opinions in favor and against it. Opinions against the law arose originally in affected sectors -the Church, the Army, and the Supreme Court of Justice-, for it had three essential points of political importance: the suppression of privileges, the organization of the Supreme Court, and the creation of the Tribunal Superior del Distrito Federal (Superior Court of the Federal District). The controversy went far beyond its time, for it included, on the one hand, a strong discussion within the old political class and the press of the time, and on the other, opinions from much later scholars, both followers and detractors.
