Study Notes
Knowledge and Philosophy
- Kant's framework distinguishes between two realms of knowledge: the world of being and the world of ought to be.
- World of being encompasses exact sciences providing verifiable knowledge:
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Biology
- Geography
- World of ought to be includes social sciences influenced by fluctuating social norms and ethical conduct.
Norms and Legal Concepts
- Norms establish rules dictating ought to be, creating a framework of moral obligations in society.
- Legal norms are a subtype with the following characteristics:
- Bilateral: Involves two or more persons.
- Exteriority: Requires external manifestation for legal acts to occur.
- Heteronomous: Imposed by an authority outside oneself.
- Coercibility: Enforced by state power, making compliance mandatory.
Legal Framework and Rights
- Law regulates human behavior for better social coexistence.
- Axiology: The study of values underpinning legal norms.
- Legal rights are acknowledged before birth (e.g., rights to nationality, identity) and persist after death (e.g., rights regarding wills and burials).
Sources of Law
- Sources of law are mechanisms through which legal norms emerge.
- Historical sources include past legal systems, such as:
- Canon law
- Spanish law
- Roman law
- Austrian law
- French law
- Real sources involve the adaptation of laws to reflect societal changes driven by technology and ideology.
Formal Sources of Law in Mexico
- Legislation is the primary formal source, involving a six-step legislative process:
- Initiative of Law: Proposal by citizens or legislators.
- Discussion: Review in two legislative chambers.
- Approval: Must be sanctioned by both chambers.
- Sanction: Presidential approval.
- Promulgation: Formal statement for compliance.
- Publication: Dissemination through the Federal Official Gazette.

- Laws may undergo total or partial extinction, adjusting to societal needs.
- Laws can enter into force synchronously or successively, based on their publication timing.
Judicial Principles and International Agreements
- Legal doctrines and principles aid the judicial system by providing guidance when interpreting laws.
- International agreements, such as treaties, may be bilateral or multilateral, dictating obligations and potential consequences for non-compliance.
- International reserves are adjustments made to treaties when necessary, contingent on mutual consent.
Jurisprudence and Legal Interpretation
- Legal doctrines are articulated by legal professionals through various mediums like publications, seminars, and online forums.
- Vocatio Legis refers to the period between a law's publication and its effective date.
- Customs and jurisprudence form unwritten norms that develop through consistent usage and judicial rulings.
Judicial Structure
- The judicial hierarchy includes judges, magistrates, and ministers, each responsible for different levels of adjudication.
- Appeals and amparo proceed through hierarchical channels, allowing for judicial contestations and final resolutions.
Formation of Legal Norms
- A legal norm emerges when a prevailing jurisprudence arises from five consistent rulings. Any contradicting ruling negates its establishment.
- Jurisprudences are documented and reviewed periodically, forming a crucial component of legal tradition.
