The Judicial Branch of Sinaloa (Poder Judicial) comprises the Supreme Court of Justice (Supremo Tribunal de Justicia), the Judicial Branch Council (Consejo del Poder Judicial) and specialized chambers. The state is divided into judicial districts with courts of first instance for civil, commercial, family and criminal matters, in addition to the structure of the accusatorial system, concentrated in Culiacán, Mazatlán, Ahome (Los Mochis) and Guasave. Los asuntos federales se ventilan por separado ante juzgados de distrito.

Sinaloa maintains its own Civil Code and Code of Civil Procedure. Its intensive irrigated agriculture (the Culiacán valley) generates agrarian, water and agroindustrial contract litigation, while the tourism and real estate boom in Mazatlán has driven practice in developments, condominiums and estate planning.
