### New “Honeycomb” Courts to Open in Tijuana
To expedite civil case proceedings, new specialized courts known as “honeycomb courts” will be inaugurated in Tijuana this October. These courts aim to handle matters related to property titles, inheritances, contract rescissions, leases, and other civil issues, as announced by Alexander Bazán Gómez Llanos, President of the Tijuana Bar Association (CAT).
In the initial phase, honeycomb courts will focus exclusively on civil cases. A subsequent phase will see the inclusion of family matters. Gómez Llanos highlighted that the specialization of these courts enhances the efficiency of judicial processes. He also mentioned the presence of agreement secretaries who will manage procedural agreements and attend hearings, contributing to quicker case processing times.
An innovative aspect of these courts is the separation of administrative tasks from the judicial responsibilities of the presiding judge. This setup allows judges to focus solely on delivering judgments and justice, improving overall efficiency. An administrator will handle human resources, administrative controls, and attendance management, ensuring smoother operations.
Another significant benefit is the adoption of digital processes. Plaintiff filings, document submissions, and case files will all be managed electronically, further expediting proceedings. Gómez Llanos emphasized that electronic case files will make the entire process faster and more streamlined.

The Tijuana Bar Association has expressed concerns over proposed judicial reforms, describing them as a severe risk to justice and the separation of powers. The association’s president, Alexander Bazán Gómez Llanos, highlighted the potential dangers these reforms could pose to the integrity of the judicial system.
The reforms, which aim to centralize certain judicial functions, have raised alarms among legal professionals who fear they may undermine judicial independence and lead to excessive executive influence over the judiciary. The Bar Association is advocating for a careful reevaluation of these reforms to ensure they do not compromise the fundamental principles of justice.
