The “Institutional Turn” In Jurisprudence: Critique And Reconstruction., Andres Palacios Lleras

Andrés Palacios Lleras

This paper engages in a inquiry into the roles that courts play within the legal system, given that judges are interdependent interpreters of legal rules that are boundedly rational and, arguably, politically biased. Contemporary authors claim that, although these two conditions play an important role in interpretation, contemporary theories in jurisprudence have not addressed them properly.

Is it best for them to interpret these rules in a formalist fashion, without resorting …

Una Contribución A La Defensa De La Causa Del Contrato Como El Signo Distintivo Del Civil Law, Rómulo Morales

Rómulo Martín Morales Hervias

Su utilidad dependerá de que en el futuro se use este concepto y a la larga sea nuestra carta cultural de presentación frente a otras experiencias jurídicas.
