**Rosarito Set to Welcome First Court under New CNPCF in June**
In a significant development for the legal landscape of Baja California, Rosarito will soon be home to the region’s first courtroom under the new National Code of Civil and Family Procedures (CNPCF). Scheduled to open in June, this initiative marks an important step in aligning with updated judicial practices across Mexico, as disclosed by magistrate Nelson Alonso Kim Salas.
This new facility will serve only Rosarito’s jurisdiction, focusing on cases such as the domicile of parties or locations where foundational documents are signed or agreements made. Positioned adjacent to the current Civil Court of First Instance on Josefa Ortiz de DomÃnguez Boulevard, the construction and equipping of the courtroom are funded by the state’s judicial system, though exact costs are yet undisclosed.
Rosarito’s new judicial structure will initially comprise two dedicated civil judges and two family judges, each with a respective courtroom. As part of a gradual implementation strategy, additional courts will appear in Tecate and Ensenada later in 2025, with further expansions into Mexicali, San QuintÃn, and San Felipe slated for 2026. Tijuana will complete this rollout by 2027 with 19 new judges specializing in civil, mortgage, mercantile, and family law.
Tijuana has already secured a site for its new Family Courts Center within the Cultural Center of Legal Legitimacy, a municipal contribution, emphasizing a shift towards oral proceedings and alternative dispute resolution as emphasized by the CNPCF.

The enactment of the National Code of Civil and Family Procedures (CNPCF) on June 7, 2023, aims to harmonize civil and family legal proceedings nationwide. With a full implementation deadline set for April 1, 2027, Baja California has initiated preparatory measures, including personnel training and infrastructure adaptation.
The CNPCF seeks to promote oral proceedings and broadens the alternatives for conflict resolution, a policy aimed at reflecting contemporary legal standards. The framework prioritizes the welfare of children, human rights, protecting vulnerable individuals, and integrating gender perspectives.
Recent reports highlight the CNPCF’s intention to modernize the justice system, both legislatively and infrastructurally, and incorporate technology advancements to streamline legal processes, thereby improving overall judicial efficiency across Mexico.
