From 12 until 16 June, 15 scholars of Chinese law from China, Europe and the United States followed the invitation of the Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory (mpilhlt) to participate in the first of what is meant to be a series of workshops on Chinese legal tradition.
¿Cuáles son los precedentes medievales de los tribunales episcopales de la Hispanoamérica virreinal? ¿Qué tipo de experiencias judiciales se desarrollaron en otras latitudes durante la temprana modernidad? ¿Cuáles tradiciones historiográficas se han ocupado de los tribunales eclesiásticos?
