Perspectives on Constitutional Justice: Comparing the Supreme Courts of Mexico and the United States

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on constitutional law and judicial power as we welcome Espejo Yaksic, who will join us via Zoom, to explore the structure and role of the Supreme Court of Mexico. Our guest will provide insights into the Court’s evolving role in Mexican democracy, its approach to constitutional interpretation, and its impact on public policy and civil rights. Following the presentation, Prof. Segall will offer a comparative analysis, examining U.S. Supreme Court reform proposals and debates directly. The discussion will highlight key differences in judicial philosophy, institutional design, and the courts’ roles within their respective political systems.
