It oversees the Superior Court of Justice and other lower courts, handling civil, criminal, family, and administrative cases. Its core function is to interpret and apply state and federal laws, ensuring due process and protection of rights. The institution provides judicial services to residents, businesses, and government entities within the state. It also manages court records, issues rulings, and enforces judgments.

While specific staff numbers are not disclosed, the Judicial Poder serves the entire state population across municipalities such as Chetumal, Cancún, and Playa del Carmen. Its geographic reach covers the state’s territory, allowing it to adjudicate cases arising anywhere within Quintana Roo. As a state judicial power, it operates under the Mexican Constitution and state statutes, maintaining independence from the executive and legislative branches.
