Editorial standards

The legal content we publish can influence important decisions in people's lives. That is why we take very seriously how we research, write and maintain it. These are the standards that guide everything we write at Letrados.mx.

Research from primary sources

Our content is based on official, primary sources, not on third-party copies. Among them: the Official Gazette of the Federation (Diario Oficial de la Federación, DOF), the precedents and case law of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation (SCJN), the official federal and state codes and laws, and the gob.mx portals and the relevant agencies. When the law changes, we consult the text in force before writing.

Review by lawyers

We aim for our content to be reviewed by lawyers with a valid professional license before publication or whenever the subject requires it. The goal is for the information to be correct, understandable and useful to the non-specialist reader, without sacrificing legal rigor.

Dating and updating

The law is constantly evolving. That is why we date our content and review it regularly to reflect legal reforms, new case-law criteria and procedural changes. If you find anything out of date, we would appreciate you letting us know at contacto@letrados.mx.

We cite our sources

Whenever possible, we cite the law, article or official document on which each statement is based, so that you can check it yourself and dig deeper if you wish.

Information, not advice

Even with these standards, all of our content is informational in nature and does not constitute legal advice. Every case is different, and only a lawyer who knows the details of your situation can properly guide you.
