Rising Temperatures: Rising Tides, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson

Prof. Elizabeth Burleson

Counsel For The Situation: The Latin Notary, A Historical And Comparative Model, Pedro A. Malavet Dec 1995

Counsel For The Situation: The Latin Notary, A Historical And Comparative Model, Pedro A. Malavet

Pedro A. Malavet

In exchange for such high demands, the state often grants the notaries profitable subject-matter and geographic monopolies.
