"Organized into three Lectures, covering the 'Past,' 'Present,' and 'Future' of Hispanic-American Civil Procedural Law, which has profoundly influenced the rational foundations of Civil Procedure, especially in South America, from the Roman and Visigothic colonizations through intermediary law, preceding the emergence of modern Civil Codes (such as the French Civil Code of 1804), this work seeks to demonstrate how historical antecedents justify legal realities and the interpretative strength of Law and, consequently, of Procedure, whether serving individualism or functioning as an instrument of power, control, or manipulation, supported by models of dispute resolution, systems of evidence and procedural rules, forms of judicial decisions, and even the doctrine of res judicata and its potential vulnerability depending on the prevailing political regime."
