| Abstract: |
A research study about the relations between social and legal change, conducted in the six civil law countries of South America, Italy and Spain. The research project makes the attempt to describe the legal systems in quantitative terms over a long period of time (e.g. how many courts, what kinds, how many judges, staff, etc.). After this a quantitative comparison was conducted. Assumption: Some kinds of social change (e.g. increase in population) and some kinds of legal system changes (increase in the number of trial courts) are associated. The influence runs both ways. However, the stronger effect is that of social change on the legal systems. |
