In Oaxaca, significant improvements are being made in the administration of justice at the High Court of Justice (TSJO) through the incorporation of engineering principles and legal science. During a National Justice Forum attended by legal professionals, Erika Rodríguez, head of the Oaxaca Judiciary, urged justice operators across the country to move away from improvisation and return to rigorous study of criminal law. She emphasized the necessity of critically analyzing the flaws and challenges present in the Mexican penal system.

Rodríguez's comments occurred during the Meeting of Criminal Lawyers in Colima, where she was accompanied by Dr. Moisés Moreno Hernández, recognized as the 'father of modern criminal law in Mexico.' She highlighted that the institutional reengineering currently taking place in the Oaxaca Judiciary, coupled with support from legal science, would lead to improvements in the quality of rulings and legal processes handled by judges. This transformation aims to bring about more effective and just outcomes in legal proceedings.

The initiative reflects a broader movement within Mexico to reform its justice system, addressing longstanding issues related to inefficiency and lack of accountability. By fostering a more rigorous understanding of criminal law among legal practitioners, the Oaxaca judiciary hopes to pave the way for a more reliable and fair judicial process, ultimately benefiting the citizens who seek justice. This development is not only vital for the state of Oaxaca but also serves as a potential model for other regions facing similar challenges in their judicial systems.
