Abstract

CAMARINHAS, Nuno. Justice administration in 1820 Lisbon through the Municipal Archive's documentation. Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal [online]. 2020, vol.ser2, n.14, pp.163-176. ISSN 2183-3176.

Through the documentation preserved at Lisbon Municipal Archives, this text seeks to analyze justice administration at the end of the Ancien Régime and the early years of the Portuguese constitutional experience. It analyses specifically the learned justice under direct ruling of the Lisbon Municipality's Senate, seeking to understand the role of this institution in the management of judicial personnel as well as its participation in the context of the legal pluralism of the Old Regime and its survival in the first years of validity of political liberalism in the Portuguese capital.

Keywords : Justice administration; Lisbon's Municipality Senate; Criminal justices; Municipal administration.
