The Revista de Derecho de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso (also cited as RDPUCV.) aims at disseminating original and unpublished articles of dogmatic, legislative, institutional and comparative research on all branches of the Law of a Romanistic tradition. Likewise, this journal publishes works on philosophy, theory and history of law and history of the juridical-political thinking; in all cases, even if these have been papers presented at scientific congresses. It also receives reviews of the state of the art and comprehensive reviews of bibliographies and judicial practices on condition that, in all cases, they offer a critical perspective.
