FUCILI, Eliana  and  TERRANOVA, David. Magistracy in a Province of the Argentine Interior (Mendoza, 1872-1890). Secuencia [online]. 2020, n.108, e1743.  Epub Oct 23, 2020. ISSN 2395-8464.  https://doi.org/10.18234/secuencia.v0i108.1743.

This article seeks to contribute to the social history of justice through approaches and methodologies linked to the current research agenda on state institutions. Specifically, it attempts to analyze the way magistracy in Mendoza was organized between 1872-1890, the period when the first laws regulating the administration of low justice in the province were enacted. Indeed, during those years, the local judiciary acquired greater cohesion because of the political and institutional development of the central and provincial power. The article also focuses on the actors who exercised magistracy in the province, mainly exploring their sociooccupational profiles.

Keywords : justice; territorial magistrates; Mendoza; 19th century; laws.
