Activities
Since 2005, TBI Justice in Mexico Project has worked to promote security, judicial reform, and the rule of law in Mexico not only through monitoring and research, but also through consensus building on critical policy issues and professional training. The project is highly collaborative, coordinating its research agenda and activities with prestigious scholars, government officials and non-governmental organizations from both Mexico and the United States. The project has been highly effective in analyzing and promoting dialogue about public security and judicial reform efforts at the national and state level. TBI’s efforts helped build support for sweeping changes approved in 2008 by the Mexican Congress, including the introduction of oral trials, alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, and new police reforms. The project also organizes conferences, seminars and roundtables to serve to educate students and professionals in Mexico and the U.S.
Besides research, the project activities currently center on technical assistance on the implementation and performance of key reforms in Mexico, briefings for policy makers in both countries, trainings for judicial system professionals in Mexico and a series o public forums.
