The Judiciary of Baja California Sur is made up of the Superior Court of Justice, the Judicial Council and specialized chambers. The state is divided into judicial districts based in La Paz, Los Cabos, Comondú, Loreto and Mulegé, each with courts of first instance for civil, commercial, family and criminal matters, in addition to the structure of the accusatory system. Federal matters fall to the District Courts and Circuit Courts of the Twenty-Sixth Circuit, based in La Paz. Los asuntos federales se ventilan por separado ante juzgados de distrito.

Baja California Sur maintains its own Civil Code and Code of Civil Procedure.
