El presente artículo analiza el caso de México Unido Contra la Delincuencia (MUCD), grupo de la sociedad civil que emprendió una movilización legal para cuestionar el modelo prohibicionista en materia de drogas, en tanto consideran que éste es una de las causas primordiales de la inseguridad en México.

Through the analysis of interviews and official documents, as well as the Supreme Court project and judgment, the article maintains that the success of the mobilization was based on the construction of a support structure, as well as on the use of strategic litigation; the establishment of alliances between lawyers with high-profile social, professional and kinship ties played a central role in obtaining a favorable ruling from the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation.... view less
