The Judiciary of Jalisco is made up of the Supreme Court of Justice, the Judicial Council, the Administrative Justice Court (Tribunal de Justicia Administrativa) and specialized chambers. The state is divided into judicial districts, each with courts of first instance in civil, commercial, family and criminal matters, in addition to control and oral-trial courts of the accusatory system. Guadalajara and its metropolitan area concentrate most of the activity. Los asuntos federales se ventilan por separado ante juzgados de distrito.
