B.To replace the civil courts of first instance for all disputes below an amount set each year by the Congress
C.To promote and regulate alternative methods, and the bodies and providers that offer them
D.To set the procedure for amparo against rulings that refuse to enforce agreements
Explanation: Article 2: the law's object is 'promover y regular los métodos alternos para la prevención y en su caso la solución de conflictos, la reglamentación de organismos públicos y privados que presten estos servicios, así como la actividad que desarrollen los prestadores de dichos servicios'.
2How does Article 3-XIV of the Jalisco law define the mediator's role in mediation?
A.The mediator has no power to propose solutions and only facilitates communication
B.The mediator proposes recommendations the parties may accept
C.The mediator issues a binding award
D.The mediator decides which party is legally right and drafts the convenio to match
Explanation: Article 3-XIV defines mediation as a non-adversarial method in which one or more mediators, 'quienes no tienen facultad de proponer soluciones, intervienen únicamente facilitando la comunicación entre los mediados', so that the parties agree voluntarily on a solution.
3Under Articles 3-IX and 47 of the Jalisco law, what distinguishes a conciliador from a mediator?
A.The conciliador may impose a solution if the parties cannot agree
B.The conciliador must hold a law degree and a cédula, while a mediator may come from any profession
C.The conciliador works only in public centres
D.The conciliador must propose fair and suitable solutions; the mediator must not make suggestions
Explanation: Article 47: in mediation the provider 'no deberá formular sugerencias', though it informs the mediados of their rights and the legal scope of possible solutions; 'el conciliador por su parte, sí deberá realizar propuestas de soluciones equitativas y convenientes'. Article 3-IX defines conciliation by those recommendations.
4How does the Jalisco law characterise arbitration in Article 3-IV?
A.As a non-adversarial method in which the arbitrator only facilitates communication
B.As an adversarial procedure in which arbitrators decide the dispute

D.As a form of mediation in which a judge approves the final agreement

6How does the Legalidad principle in Article 4-VII of the Jalisco law limit the conflicts that can be handled?
A.Only conflicts worth less than a set amount may be handled
B.Only conflicts between merchants may be handled
C.Only conflicts over a violated legitimate right or unmet obligation not affecting the public interest
D.Only conflicts already filed before a court of first instance, once the judge refers them to the Instituto
Explanation: Article 4-VII: 'Sólo podrán ser objeto del procedimiento previsto en esta ley, los conflictos derivados por la violación de un derecho legítimo o por incumplimiento indebido de una obligación y que no afecten el interés público'.

B.Neutralidad
C.Flexibilidad
D.Inmediatez
Explanation: Article 4-VIII (Honestidad): 'El prestador del medio alterno deberá excusarse de participar cuando reconozca que sus capacidades, limitaciones o intereses personales pueden afectar el procedimiento'.
8Under the Confidencialidad principle in Article 4-II of the Jalisco law, who may obtain the actuaciones of an alternative-method procedure?

C.No one, under any circumstances
D.Ministerial and judicial authorities, on request; the actuaciones are otherwise reserved
Explanation: Article 4-II: information from the procedures may not be disclosed. 'Sólo a petición de la autoridad ministerial y judicial se podrán entregar las actuaciones', which are treated as reserved under the Jalisco transparency law.

A.As soon as both parties sign it
B.Only after a separate ordinary trial proves the obligation and the other party's breach

About the IJA Jalisco Persona Facilitadora Exam

Independent practice for the Jalisco facilitator certification by OpenExamPrep. The Instituto de Justicia Alternativa, an organ of the Jalisco judiciary, certifies personas facilitadoras and abogadas colaborativas after a theoretical exam, a recorded practical exam and a convenio-drafting exam, and grants five-year certifications. This bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or format simulation. It covers the Ley de Justicia Alternativa del Estado de Jalisco, the IJA's certification procedures and the national LGMASC framework, and it keeps the Spanish legal terms. Its topic split is our own study allocation, because no official weights are published.

Exam sponsor: Instituto de Justicia Alternativa del Estado de Jalisco. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Under procedure JAL-IJA-DIRAYC-001 (February 2026), applicants send their documents for review, present originals, and take a theoretical exam. Once it is passed, they take a recorded practical exam and a practical exam drafting a final convenio. A failed evaluation may be requested again within 15 business days; a second failure closes the file, though a new procedure may be started. Applicants who pass receive an inspection visit to the proposed office, and the Dirección de Acreditación, Certificación y Evaluación then drafts the resolution. The maximum resolution time is two months, and the certification lasts five years.

IJA Jalisco Persona Facilitadora: Suggested Study Strategy

1Know the difference between mediation and conciliation in Jalisco: the mediator makes no suggestions, while the conciliador must propose fair solutions (Articles 3 and 47).
2Memorise the procedure's deadlines: two months plus one for the procedure, three business days to decide on a proposal, three business days to request sanction, and five days to cure a defective convenio.
3Study what makes a convenio enforceable: the Article 63 requirements, sanction and registration by the Instituto, and enforcement before a Juez de Primera Instancia.
4Review the LGMASC rules that now apply alongside the state law: five-year certification, the support-debtor requirement, the Sistema de Convenios, validation of convenios involving children, and practice in other states.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can be certified as a facilitator in Jalisco?

Professionals of any discipline with a title and cédula, at least 120 hours of MASC training from an institution the IJA approves, full civil and political rights, no conviction for an intentional crime carrying prison, and no entry as a defaulting support debtor. Collaborative lawyers also need a law degree and 40 hours of collaborative negotiation.

How is the certification evaluated?

The IJA applies a theoretical exam and, once it is passed, a recorded practical exam and a practical exam drafting a final convenio. A failed evaluation may be requested again within 15 business days, and a second failure closes the file. The IJA then inspects the proposed office before resolving. It does not publish question counts, time limits or passing scores.

How long does the certification last, and what does renewal require?

The IJA issues certifications valid for five years, in line with the LGMASC. Renewal requires a certification that is current or expired less than a year, 100 training hours in the previous five years, a no-sanctions document, the fee, and passing theoretical and practical exams. Article 17 of the 2007 state law still refers to a refrendo every two years.

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

No. The evaluations are 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 state law, the IJA procedures and the LGMASC.
