About the CDMX Mediador Privado Exam

Independent practice for Mexico City's private mediator certification by OpenExamPrep. The Centro de Justicia Alternativa of the Tribunal Superior de Justicia certifies and registers private mediators for civil-mercantile and family matters under Article 18-B of the Ley de Justicia Alternativa and the Reglas de Mediador Privado. Candidates pass a competencies exam, graded training modules, an oral evaluation and supervised practice. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or format simulation. It covers the local law, the private-mediator regime and the national framework of the LGMASC and the Consejo Nacional's guidelines, and it keeps the Spanish legal terms. Its topic split is our own study allocation, because no official weights are published.

Exam sponsor: Centro de Justicia Alternativa del Tribunal Superior de Justicia de la Ciudad de México. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Under Article 18-B of the Ley de Justicia Alternativa and the 2016 Reglas de Mediador Privado, the Tribunal publishes a call in the Boletín Judicial. Applicants file their documents and sit a labour-competencies exam graded by the Instituto; those who pass enrol in a training programme whose modules each end in an evaluation. Candidates who complete it take an oral evaluation before at least two sinodales and then complete supervised practice hours at the Centro. The Comité decides whether each candidate meets Article 18-B, and its decision cannot be appealed. The Consejo then approves certification. Within 90 days the mediator must post a guarantee, register the certificate and signatures, notify the office address and take the protesta; practice starts once the certification is published.

CDMX Mediador Privado: Suggested Study Strategy

1Learn Article 8's eight principles and how they differ, especially neutralidad (no own judgments) versus imparcialidad (no favouritism) and equidad (balance between the mediados).
2Know the private mediator's timeline: the requirements of Article 18-B, the 90 days to complete Article 43's steps, publication within ten days, three-year validity and renewal requested at least three months before expiry.
3Study convenio rules: the Article 35 and Article 50 formalities, registration with the Centro, cosa juzgada and vía de apremio, and what happens when a formality can or cannot be corrected.
4Compare the local law with the LGMASC: three versus five years of validity, the support-debtor requirement, the 120-hour minimum training and the national deadlines for registering convenios.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can become a certified private mediator in Mexico City?

Under Article 18-B of the Ley de Justicia Alternativa: Mexican citizens with full rights, at least 25 years old on the day of certification, with a licenciatura and two years of professional experience, good reputation and no conviction for an intentional crime punishable by imprisonment, who pass the competencies exam and the certification courses and complete the practice hours. The degree need not be in law, but convenios from non-lawyers need a lawyer's visto bueno for registration.

How is the certification evaluated?

The Reglas de Mediador Privado set a labour-competencies exam graded by the Instituto, an evaluation at the end of each training module, an oral evaluation before at least two sinodales, and supervised practice at the Centro. The Comité then decides, and its decision cannot be appealed. No question count, time limit or passing grade is published; the passing grade is set in each call.

How long does the certification last, and how does it relate to the LGMASC?

The local law gives three years, and renewal requires passing the competencies exam again. The national Ley General de Mecanismos Alternativos de Solución de Controversias (2024) sets five years for facilitator certification, and the Consejo Nacional's 2025 guidelines allow renewal up to 180 days after expiry with 100 training hours. As of the 13 July 2026 reform, the local text still says three years.

Is the evaluation available in English, and what does this bank cover?

No. The certification is conducted in Spanish. This bank is an independent English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or format simulation. It keeps the Spanish legal terms and reviews the local law, the private-mediator rules and the LGMASC framework.
