LLAMOSAS, Esteban Federico. The Instruction of Legal Practice in Córdoba del Tucumán (Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries). Rev. IUS [online]. 2019, vol.13, n.43, pp.33-50. ISSN 1870-2147.

This article analyzes the teaching of legal practice in Córdoba del Tucumán, in the last years of the Indian period and the first decades of independence, both for university students and for lay people who worked in the forensic life. The University is not seen exclusively as the Legal Center (Faculty of Jurisprudence), but also the teaching of Rhetoric and Argumentation (Faculty of Arts), and the casuistic treatment of moral dilemmas (Faculty of Theology). For the training of laymen, emphasis is placed on the circulation of procedural literature in the City’s Libraries and the functioning of Forensic Academies, both public and private, are presented, where university graduates in law carried out their practice before rendering the professional qualification exam as Lawyers.
