The president of the Judicial Power of Mexico City (PJCDMX), magistrate Rafael Guerra Álvarez, led the presentation of the book Theory and Practice of the Amparo Trial, a work coordinated by the Minister of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, Juan Luis González Alcántara Carrancá, and former president of the capital's judicial body at the beginning of this century.

During the virtual act, Guerra Álvarez stated that the book promises to become the "vademecum" of the amparo trial in Mexico, and specified that this is so given that its etymology means "goes with me."

"In other words, it is a guide for the practitioner, easy to use, for immediate consultation, with notions and fundamental information that elevate daily practice," the magistrate explained in the virtual presentation ceremony.

With the presence of Minister González Alcántara Carrancá and the president of the Constitutional Chamber of the PJCDMX, Judge Javier Raúl Ayala Casillas, Guerra Álvarez stressed that the work presented has the merit of combining the best of public service, the judicial career and academic rigor.

Composed of texts authored by the secretaries of Study and Account of the highest court of the country and academics, the magistrate emphasized that all of them are living testimony of the most deeply rooted traditions of the Judicial Power: specialization, professionalism and loyalty to the nation.

He also highlighted the fact that Theory and Practice of the Amparo Trial is illustrated with diagrams, since these serve to enrich the understanding of the topics discussed.

“The practical aspect, which incidentally was recognized with the name Theory and practice of the amparo trial, is manifested in two aspects: the first, with the practical cases that some authors raise, and that lead to the field of doing what which represents the amparo trial; and the second, the incorporation of theses and jurisprudence ”, he commented.

The also president of the local Judicial Council congratulated the coordinators of the work for achieving continuity and consistency throughout the book, thereby demonstrating the powerful synergy of dogmatic and jurisdictional work.

On his occasion, Minister González Alcántara Carranca stressed that the book was released thanks to the "extraordinary work" in editorial matters of the PJCDMX, through its General Directorate of Annals of Jurisprudence and Judicial Bulletin.

He explained that the text aims to explain, from a comprehensive perspective, the various theoretical and practical elements that articulate the amparo trial in its two ways: direct and indirect, as well as the various special resources that allow to provide full efficiency to its fundamental objectives , the protection of human rights and the preservation of constitutional supremacy.

In turn, Judge Ayala Casillas commented that it had been a long time since a work had appeared that in such a methodical way dealt with the current situation of the quintessential Mexican trial: that of amparo.

Although, he said, every year there are works left and right, commented, medical records and detailed analyzes, they do not delve into the legal singularities of the matter. Likewise, he highlighted that Theory and Practice of the Amparo Trial has an architecture designed by lawyers and experts trained not only in legal science, but also in daily practice.

The remote presentation was moderated by the general director of Anales de Jurisprudencia y Boletín Judicial del PJCDMX, Raciel Garrido Maldonado, and included the comments of the co-authors Montserrat Cid Cabello and Víctor Manuel Rocha Mercado.
