Mexico's controversial judicial reform requiring direct election of judges and magistrates emerged mostly unscathed on Tuesday from a Supreme Court vote on whether it violated the country's constitution.

Judges will be elected by voters next year after Mexico's Supreme Court rejected a proposal to invalidate key parts of the judicial reform.

Mexico’s Supreme Court has dismissed a proposal to reduce the scope of a contentious judicial overhaul making all judges stand for election.

Mexico's Supreme Court began debating the constitutionality of a controversial judicial overhaul on Tuesday, nearly two months after lawmakers passed the reform that would require the election of all judges over the next few years.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum criticized the country's Supreme Court on Monday for what she described as overstepping its authority as it weighs whether to deem part of a recently-enacted judicial reform unconstitutional.

The move spares the country’s new president from having to choose between recognizing a court decision to strike down the overhaul or aligning with her party’s leaders and ignoring it.

Mexico's Supreme Court published a proposal on Monday to invalidate core parts of a controversial judicial overhaul that has rattled markets and shaken investor confidence in Latin America's second-largest economy.

Mexico’s Supreme Court dismissed a ruling intended to limit the scope of a judicial overhaul passed by Congress, easing concerns of a standoff with President Claudia Sheinbaum that risked setting off a constitutional crisis.

President Claudia Sheinbaum says she won’t comply with any ruling made by the Supreme Court over a judicial system shake-up.

Eight of 11 justices on Mexico's Supreme Court have resigned and declined to participate in an election for the court scheduled for June, the court said on Wednesday.
