LOPEZ GONZALEZ, Georgina. Persistance of Legal Pluralism in Mexican Circuit Courts and District Courts (1855-1857). Sig. his [online]. 2014, vol.16, n.32, pp.122-153. ISSN 1665-4420.

This article analyzes the persistence of Old-Regime legal pluralism in the legal practice from the mid-nineteenth century, in cases found in Mexican Circuit Courts and District Courts records, after being reorganized by the Ley Juárez (1855). In addition, this analysis shows an approach to the difficult process of ordinary justice and federal justice delimitation, as well as the organizational problems of such courts, elements that contributed to the persistence of legal pluralism and consuetudinary practices in the judges' daily work, despite the statist plan to implement legal positivism.

Palavras-chave : circuit courts; district courts; legal pluralism; legal positivism; Ley Juárez.
