Building a blueprint for the administration of justice: sources, method and results. Chile, 19th century

Abstract

This study outlines the evolution of the map of the judicial administration in XIXth century Chile. It tries to understand the dynamics of these courts by localizing them, covering from 1824 to 1875, a period shaped by the “Rules of Procedure for the Administration of Justice” and by the “Law of Organization and Attributions of the Courts”, two milestones in this institutional building process. By considering different primary sources, such as statistical yearbooks, geographical descriptions of the period, official documents produced by the Ministry of Justice and the courts, and legal texts, we can see the territorial aspect of judicial administration not so much as “it should have been” but “as it really was”, and confront institutions to their implementation.
