The Missing Reform

"...This is not the first time in which magnificent reforms on paper have become diluted policies. By 2016, Mexico was supposed to have finished implementing a historical transformation of its judicial system,shifting trials from inquisitorial to adversarial procedures. This transformation, approved in 2008, was meant to apply, among other innovations, oral trials, mediation, and mechanisms of alternative justice. As of now, implementation is far from a reality since only four out of 32 states were able to fully implement the adversarial judicial system by 2016 (Proyecto Justicia 2016)." -- from introduction.
