The 'Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation' ''(Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación,'' or SCJN) is the highest
federal court in the
United Mexican States. It consists of a President of the Supreme Court (
Chief Justice) and ten Ministers (
Associate Justices) who are confirmed by the
Senate from a list proposed by the
President of the Republic.
