Doctrina

English translation: academic legal opinion

14:24 Sep 13, 2011
Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law (general) / appeal
Spanish term or phrase: Doctrina
En tal sentido, y por citar tan sólo una de las Resoluciones dictadas por este Tribunal sobre la materia, recordemos cómo la Sentencia de 10 de Diciembre de 2002 decía: "Como recuerda la S 692/2002, de 18 de Abr ., y la doctrina que se expone con detalle en el A 14 Dic. 2001,

I oppose the idea that this can be directly translated as 'doctrine' common law systems such as that of the uk use this term to refer to an established method of resolving similar fact or legal issues whereas in civil law systems these can be judgments or legal writings.

perhaps 'precednet' or legal writings is suffice in this case although I feel this could be closely related to case law .

DOCTRINA Y JURISPRUDENCIA



Doctrina: Son todos aquellos comentarios tomados de la experiencia técnico jurídica y de las mismas sentencias proferidas y reiteradas de las Altas Cortes plasmadas en escritos publicados y creados por los Abogados, autores de libros de Derecho y que sirven a los mismos profesionales del Derecho, estudiantes, funcionarios de los distintos órganos de la Rama del Poder Publico para poder entender en sana interpretación los postulados y principios del Derecho para cada ordenamiento.

“Se da el nombre de doctrina a los estudios de carácter científico que los juristas realizan acerca del derecho, ya sea con el propósito puramente teórico de sistematización de sus preceptos, ya con la finalidad de interpretar sus normas y señalar las reglas de su aplicación”

Without further context the question refers to the 'doctrina' set out in detail in xxx. This is the most likely answer by far.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you but in this case would legal principal not be suffice given that the court refers to the way in which the cassation method is applied by looking at a similar case? http://books.google.com/books?id=HQoOAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA110&lpg=PA110&dq=what+is+doctrina+in+spanish+law&source=bl&ots=Q9vz3VvCwo&sig=T8eGfaZHORNePt11DGMQt98EW6Y&hl=en&ei=wYxwTpP4GoK3hQeS2ZXaCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6&ved=0CFkQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q&f=false http://www.duhaime.org/LegalDictionary/D/Doctrine.aspx
