But to utilize these records fully, researchers need a fundamental understanding of how private law and legal institutions functioned in the place and time period under study. This book offers the first comprehensive introduction in either English or Spanish to private law in Spanish Latin America from the colonial period to the present. M. C. Mirow organizes the book into three substantial sections that describe private law and legal institutions in the colonial period, the independence era and nineteenth century, and the twentieth century. Each section begins with an introduction to the nature and function of private law during the period and discusses such topics as legal education and lawyers, legal sources, courts, land, inheritance, commercial law, family law, and personal status. Each section also presents themes of special interest during its respective time period, including slavery, Indian status, codification, land reform, and development and globalization. 606 $aCivil law$zLatin America$xHistory 606 $aJustice, Administration of$zLatin America$xHistory 615 0$aCivil law$xHistory. 615 0$aJustice, Administration of$xHistory. 676 $a346.8/009 700 $aMirow$b Matthew C$g(Matthew Campbell),$f1962-$01524510 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777692803321 996 $aLatin American law$93765393 997 $aUNINA
