Latin American Civil Codifiers

Latin American Civil Codifiers gathers the jurists who drafted and commented on the civil codes of Latin America, a region whose civil law tradition draws heavily on the French Napoleonic Code and the Spanish and Portuguese civilian traditions grouped elsewhere in this subcategory while developing its own distinct national codes and doctrine across Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, Uruguay and Central America. Grouped as its own region here because Latin America's civil codifiers, working across many national traditions united by a shared regional legal culture, are numerous and cohesive enough in this subcategory's own membership to warrant a group distinct from their European civilian ancestors.
