El derecho de Mexico y su terminologia legal / Mexican Law & Its Legal Terminology

El Derecho de México y su Terminología Legal (Mexican Law & Its Legal Terminology) was especially written for the benefit of legal practitioners, judges, government officials involved with Mexico, law professors and students, paralegals, interpreters and translators. The book serves a triple purpose: first, it provides the reader with the legal terminology that is used today in Mexico in six major areas of Mexican law: 1) Immigration law; 2) Labor law; 3) Real estate; 4) Family law; 5) Contracts; and 6) Criminal law. Second, it gives the reader an excellent introduction to the Mexican legal system, connecting Mexican law with its major components and its specific legal terminology. And third, it contains a current collection of samples of the most common and important Mexican legal documents, such as powers of attorney, initial complaints and their answers; civil, labor and criminal judgments rendered by Mexican courts; several kinds of contracts; by-laws of Mexican companies; including Amparos, Ejecutorias and Jurisprudencias. These samples were provided by Mexican law firms. The book closes with two up-to-date bibliographies: one from U.S. sources, and the second from Mexican sources in Spanish. The book was prepared by Prof. Jorge A. Vargas, a leading expert on Mexican law with degrees from UNAM and Yale Law School. Prof. Vargas is considered the most prolific author on Mexican law in the U.S. and Canada. He has published close to one hundred law review articles on a variety of Mexican law subjects and is the Coordinator and Co-author of Mexican Law: A Treatise for Legal Practitioners and International Investors, and is the English translator of the Mexican Civil Code Annotated and the Mexican Commercial Code Annotated.
