 A Mexican judge ordered the Lower House of Congress not to discuss controversial judicial reform scheduled to be taken up by lawmakers the first week of September, according to a legal document reviewed by newsmen on Saturday.

Proponents say it will improve democracy and help fix a system that no longer serves the public, but critics say it will cut off judges' careers, skew power to the executive branch, and open ...
