Abstract
Historiography regarding the role of Justice in the formation of modern states in the Western World is currently in a period of effervescence. This paper aims to analyse the latest contributions on the History of Justice in Mexico between the Emancipation process and the 1910 Revolution, reviewing main theoretical influences, analytical perspectives, and subjects of study developed in the History of Law, from the perspective of Social History. These works contribute to the rethinking of the process of political construction of the 19th Century Mexican State, introducing a new way to think about the state itself, civil society, and the relationship between both, through law and judicial practice.Downloads
