BOOK: Carlos PETIT, Derecho por entregas. Estudios sobre prensa y revistas en la España liberal (Madrid : Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, 2020). ISBN 978-84-1377-083-3, open access

 




Universidad Carlos III de Madrid has published a new book on Spanish legal journals of the 19th-20th centuries, and on issues of legal relevance addressed by the Spanish daily press.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Studies on Spanish legal journals of the 19th and 20th centuries (La Escuela del Derecho, Revista de los Tribunales, Revista General de Legislación y Jurisprudencia, Revista de Ciencias Jurídicas y Sociales) and on issues of legal relevance addressed by the daily press (the crime in Calle de Fuencarral, the celebrity of Cesare Lombroso). There are two theses - one, in fact - that run through the works. The first deals with the dominant model of the lawyer in liberal Spain. The old Ciceronian lawyer was replaced in the 1880s by a 'scientific' jurist; an extraordinary example was Rafael de Ureña and the law review that he created at the University of Madrid. Secondly, it is maintained that before those years and even after, there were no great differences between the so-called "legal reviews" and the "political journals", due to the invasive projection of the same public discourse. The Sevillian lawyer and politician Joaquín Francisco Pacheco, founder of professional magazines but also of newspapers, can embody like no other the archetype of the jurist-public man who, like Cicero, acted in defence of his sponsored but also in favour of the collective cause.
