Abstract

Social reality and constant change represent a challenge for law, as both litigators and legal researchers face constant changes, which must be reviewed from a multidisciplinary perspective and with globalization as a benchmark.

Amicus Curiae aims to link legal analyses with an academic perspective and legal practice, presenting our readers with relevant and current articles and fostering dialogue between the University of Mexico and other universities.

This issue, Issue 28, is composed of five articles. The first, entitled "Technical Personnel and Their Role in Penitentiary Centers in Mexico City," analyzes the role of technical personnel, their functions and importance, as well as the effectiveness of their performance in the social reintegration of incarcerated persons.

The second article, entitled "The Concept of Complementary Protection in Mexican Immigration Law," addresses an issue affecting all countries around the world: migration, which has represented not only inequality but also violence, discrimination, and the commission of various crimes. It critically analyzes this concept in light of Luigi Ferrajoli's theory.

The third article, "Type Breakdown: Transfeminicide in the Penal Code for the Federal District," refers to and analyzes the August 23, 2024, reform to the Mexico City Penal Code, which incorporated the crime of transfeminicide. It examines this concept, its implications, complexities, and, above all, the problems it poses at the dogmatic, normative, and social levels.

The fourth article, "The American Question: Implications of Donald Trump's Return to the U.S. Presidency," reflects and critiques the new presidency of Donald Trump and his return to the decisions of one of the most powerful countries in the world, as well as the social repercussions and consequences arising from the return of this controversial American businessman.

Finally, we present the article: "The Musical Publishing Contract in the Streaming Era," which not only studies copyright but also examines the intricate realities of new "creations" derived from artificial intelligence and the displacement of authors in a capitalist world.

This 28th issue of Amicus Curiae is a fruitful dialogue between our beloved writers, since without the authors we would have no articles, for which I am grateful for their efforts in the world of literature. I also thank my team: Alan David Barraza Guerrero, the new acting co-editor of this journal; Cinthya Gutiérrez Ruiz, our new technical editor; and Ricardo Pérez Rodríguez, our lead designer for this quarterly publication. Thank you very much.
