This paper proposes a critical analysis of the innovative jurisprudential approaches taken by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in integrating the content and scope of protection of the human ...rights of children, in the context of migration processes. How might one provide an effective protection to unaccompanied children that enter irregularly into the territory of a given country, when the safeguards guaranteed at the national level are elusive or inefficient? By focusing on the pioneering jurisprudence developed by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in recent years, this paper intends to unveil how a systemic integration of children’s rights, under the light of the current international law developments, could provide an effective protection for the rights of children in the context of migration processes. In fact, as a result of an evolutive, dynamic and effective interpretation, the regional tribunal has expanded the scope of protection of the American Convention on Human Rights, by taking into consideration and making known, references to instruments and provisions enshrined within the corpus juris of international human rights law, such as the UN Convention of the Rights of the Child, and—consequently—improving the level of protection of millions of children in the Americas.
El presente artículo ofrece una lectura al proceso de recepción del derecho romano en los sistemas jurídicos europeos desde la Alta Edad Media. Las reformas de Gregorio VII, el papel de la escuela ...de Boloña, la búsqueda de sistematización del derecho canónico y el redescubrimiento de las enormes fuentes del derecho romano fueron el punto de partida para un proceso de racionalización del derecho que conserva el carácter simbólico que poseía el derecho canónico. Esto permitió la expansión de elementos jurídicos en toda Europa que conformaron un denominador común para la época: el Ius Utrumque.
This article examines the efforts of New York lawyer James DeWitt Andrews and others to create a new classification system for American law in the early years of the 20th century. Inspired by ...fragments left by founding father James Wilson, Andrews worked though the American Bar Association and organized independent projects to classify the law. A controversial figure whose motives were often questioned, Andrews engaged the support and at times the antagonism of prominent legal figures such as John H. Wigmore, Roscoe Pound, and William Howard Taft before his plans ended with the founding of the American Law Institute in 1923.

TheDigest, drawing from classical Roman law, lay dormant for several centuries following Justinian's reign but then reemerged in the eleventh century to confirm those four characteristics. Significantly, it is that very combination of four characteristics that sharply distinguishes continental European law from both traditional Chinese law and English common law.
ABSTRACT
In commissioning and promulgating his famous Digest—part of his sixth-century legal compilation known as the Corpus Juris Civilis—the Emperor Justinian helped ensure that continental ...European law would be horizontal, written, scholarly, and historical. The Digest, drawing from classical Roman law, lay dormant for several centuries following Justinian's reign but then reemerged in the eleventh century to confirm those four characteristics. Significantly, it is that very combination of four characteristics that sharply distinguishes continental European law from both traditional Chinese law and English common law.
