The state is divided into judicial districts based in Mexicali, Tijuana, Ensenada, Tecate, Playas de Rosario and San Quintín, each with courts of first instance for civil, commercial, family and criminal matters, in addition to the structure of the accusatory system. Los asuntos federales se ventilan por separado ante juzgados de distrito.
