Professor José Serrano coordinates the re-edition of a work by Víctor Ferro Pomà

José Serrano Daura, a Professor of the History of Law, has coordinated the re-edition of the book entitled "El derecho público catalán. Las instituciones en Cataluña hasta el Decreto de Nueva Planta", by the late  Dr Víctor Ferro Pomà. The people who took part in this project include Javier Rodríguez-Alsina y Gallardo (a Faculty of Law student) as well as other participants.

A great scholar and someone who was knowledgeable about law and the historical institutions in our country, Ferro was a recognised and important specialist in Catalan Legal Historiography, up to the proclamation of the Nueva Planta decrees in 1716. 

The work was edited by the Societat Catalana d’Estudis Jurídics (Catlan Society of Legal Studies), as part of a project funded by the Catalan Parliament, the Department of Justice,  the Illustrious College of Lawyers of Barcelona, the Ophthamological Institute of Majorca and the Noguera Foundation, linked to the College of Notary Public's of Catalonia.
