These are attorneys working for prestigious law firms in Mexico who wrote their chapters keeping in mind the professional interest of American lawyers. Second, each of its seventeen chapters discusses a Mexican legal area commonly found in decisions rendered by state or federal courts in our country. These areas include personal injury, contracts, Fideicomisos, real estate, companies, Maquiladoras, promissory notes, family law, conflict of laws, letters rogatory, enforcement of judgments, etc. And third, most chapters include a legal glossary, a specialized bibliography and samples of practical Mexican legal documents.

Vargas, a prolific author on Mexican law, will be invaluable for legal practitioners, judges and government officials who handle legal matters involving Mexican law, as well as for business and law students. "Whether a researcher is a seasoned Mexican legal scholar or new to the subject, tools that are laid out well, written by experts, and concisely written are always welcomed but not always available. This particular publication is one of the best structured books I have seen recently. If you deal with Mexican law you should consider having this one on your shelf." -- Legal Information ALERT

This work presents essays in polished English by nine lawyers, seasoned as practitioners and scholars, with deep experience of the country, and a foreword by Mexican constitutional scholar and historian Manuel González Oropeza.

Book Synopsis Civil Litigation in Mexico by : William D Signet
Download or read book Civil Litigation in Mexico written by William D Signet and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-02 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to provide the foreign professional with a functional understanding of Mexican civil litigation, obviously not to litigate in Mexican courtrooms but to understand and deal effectively with local counsel and other professional counterparts.In doing so it tries to negotiate the opposing problems of being too general and too detailed. As the Mexican system owes much to the civil law tradition of Continental Europe, much can be gained from a knowledge of its overriding themes: for example, the basic schema of civil matters being regulated at the level of the states, of commercial matters at the federal; the weight still given to pleading "forms of action;" the extremely abbreviated phase in which evidence may be produced and presented, with very limited opportunities for discovery; the absence of a jury; and the relatively greater weight given to verbal versus oral testimony. In addition, the Mexican system has features of its own: among these, the looming presence of its famous (or infamous) amparo proceeding, which adds another layer of review (and delay, depending on one's point of view).At the same time, the book takes a close view at the fine print of procedures that may either involve, or puzzle, the foreign professional. It delves rather deeply into the types of evidence that are generally produced in Mexican litigation, with important distinctions made between party and non-party testimony; "public" versus "private" documents; and the great pressure brought on opposing experts to agree with each other, within certain tolerances. It emphasizes the importance placed on joining documentary evidence to the original pleadings; and the lack of sympathy for inconsistent or amended pleadings and theories. It takes the reader through what happens on the day of "trial" (that word is a misnomer). Some foreign counsel may be shocked to learn they may not witness the court's oral examination or opposing counsel's cross-examination of their own clients. The law is explained primarily through the lens of one code of civil procedure, that adopted in the Federal District, which has also served as a teaching model in Mexican law schools. While the basic template is an "ordinary" civil lawsuit, the book devotes several chapters to the distinctive summary process known as the juicio ejecutivo, or "executory lawsuit" (author's translation), which is often used to enforce secured claims, or claims based on negotiable instruments and other types of documents. Two chapters are devoted to ordinary appeals (which are relatively complicated) and the amparo proceeding, which is a direct attack on the lower court based on its alleged violation of constitutionally guaranteed rights. Finally, in the last chapter, the author summarizes and opines on Mexico's recent attempt to introduce "orality" into its court procedure, a process that over the past decade has achieved mixed results and differing reviews. The author concludes that its main benefit, and most lasting impact, will be in changing the culture of the courtroom, towards greater transparency.Rodolfo Rivera, a law professor, and a professional tasked with hiring local counsel around the world on behalf of a Fortune 500 company, has written: "Few U.S. lawyers understand the legal intricacies of Mexican litigation better than Bill [author]. Civil Litigation in Mexico is the first English language book that lays out the themes, nuances and the peculiarities of litigation in this very important country... It is long overdue!"William D. Signet has practiced many years in both U.S. and Mexican law firms, and taught Mexican law at the University of Texas Law School. He is the author of several treatises, books and law review articles on the subject, including the five-volume Mexican Law Library (West Group), and Introduction to the Mexican Real Estate System (Carolina Academic Press). He graduated from Columbia University Law School and the Parker School of Foreign & Comparative La

Book Synopsis The Politics of Patronage by : Benjamin Márquez
Download or read book The Politics of Patronage written by Benjamin Márquez and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2021-07-20 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded in 1968, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) is the Latino equivalent to the NAACP: a source of legal defense for the Latina/o community in cases centered on education, state immigration laws, redistricting, employment discrimination, and immigrant rights. Unlike the NAACP, however, MALDEF was founded by Mexican American activists in conjunction with the larger philanthropic structure of the Ford Foundation—a relationship that has opened it up to controversy and criticism. In the first book to examine this little-known but highly influential organization, Benjamin Márquez explores MALDEF’s history and shows how it has thrived and served as a voice for the Latina/o community throughout its sixty years of operation. But he also looks closely at large-scale investments of the Ford Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, and others, considering how their ties to MALDEF have influenced Mexican American and Latinx politics. Its story crafted from copious research into MALDEF and its benefactors, this book brings to light the influence of outside funding on the articulation of minority identities and the problems that come with creating change through institutional means.

Download or read book Introduction to the Mexican Real Estate System written by William D. Signet and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title is currently out of print. Introduction to the Mexican Real Estate System was written to fill a knowledge gap between foreign professionals, lenders, and investors, on the one hand, and the fascinating Latin country whose emerging economy, population, and opportunities will set the tone for North America development in the years to come. As the author says in his Introduction, "One may well debate whether the Americanization of Mexico is better or worse than the Mexicanization of the United States, but there is no longer any question of the direction in which history is moving." Neither an arid legal treatise, nor a compendium of experiential anecdotes, the book attempts to strike the right balance between the general and the specific, between the deep background and the nitty-gritty of daily practice, to deliver to its readers a functional knowledge of the subject.

Book Synopsis Mexican Americans & the Law by : Reynaldo Anaya Valencia
Download or read book Mexican Americans & the Law written by Reynaldo Anaya Valencia and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2004-03 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The experience of Mexican Americans in the United States has been marked by oppression at the hands of the legal systemÑbut it has also benefited from successful appeals to the same system. Mexican Americans and the Law illustrates how Mexican Americans have played crucial roles in mounting legal challenges regarding issues that directly affect their political, educational, and socioeconomic status. Each chapter highlights historical contexts, relevant laws, and policy concerns for a specific issue and features abridged versions of significant state and federal cases involving Mexican Americans. Beginning with People v. Zammora (1940), the trial that was a precursor to the Zoot Suit Riots in Los Angeles during World War II, the authors lead students through some of the most important and precedent-setting cases in American law: - Educational equality: from segregation concerns in MŽndez v. Westminster (1946) to unequal funding in San Antonio Independent School District vs. Rodr’guez (1973) - Gender issues: reproductive rights in Madrigal v. Quilligan (1981), workplace discrimination in EEOC v. Hacienda Hotel (1989), sexual violence in Aguirre-Cervantes v. INS (2001) - Language rights: _–iguez v. Arizonans for Official English (1995), Garc’a v. Gloor (1980), Serna v. Portales Municipal Schools (1974) - Immigration-: search and seizure questions in U.S. v. Brignoni-Ponce (1975) and U.S. v. Mart’nez-Fuerte (1976); public benefits issues in Plyler v. Doe (1982) and League of United Latin American Citizens v. Wilson (1997) - Voting rights: redistricting in White v. Regester (1973) and Bush v. Vera (1996) - Affirmative action: Hopwood v. State of Texas (1996) and Coalition for Economic Equity v. Wilson (1997) - Criminal justice issues: equal protection in Hern‡ndez v. Texas (1954); jury service in Hern‡ndez v. New York (1991); self incrimination in Miranda v. Arizona (1966); access to legal counsel in Escobedo v. Illinois (1964) With coverage as timely as the 2003 Supreme Court decision on affirmative action, Mexican Americans and the Law offers invaluable insight into legal issues that have impacted Mexican Americans, other Latinos, other racial minorities, and all Americans. Discussion questions, suggested readings, and Internet sources help students better comprehend the intricacies of law.
