The Judicial Branch of Veracruz (Poder Judicial) comprises the Superior Court of Justice (Tribunal Superior de Justicia), the Judicial Council (Consejo de la Judicatura) and civil, criminal and juvenile-responsibility chambers. The state is divided into numerous judicial districts owing to its great size, each with courts of first instance for civil, commercial, family and criminal matters, in addition to the structure of the accusatorial system.
