The Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies coordinates and serves as the U.S. institutional base for a major research project on reforming the administration of justice in Mexico. This project promotes analysis, dialogue, and policy solutions to address a variety of urgent problems related to public security and the rule of law in Mexico and the U.S.-Mexican border region.
Through the Project on Reforming the Administration of Justice in Mexico the Center provides access to information about public security challenges, law enforcement and institutional reform, civic participation and oversight, and best practices and policy alternatives. The project involves the collaboration of dozens of academics, policy practitioners, government officials, and other key experts analyzing policy alternatives for the reform of Mexico's justice system. The project also promotes the professional development of scholars and practitioners devoted to the improvement of Mexico’s justice system through the organization of working groups, seminars, and other activities.
