DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Pr. Julio César Rivera\, Faculties of\nLaw of the Univ
 ersidad de Buenos Aires and of the Universidad de\nSan Andrés. In French.
 \nAbout the speaker\nProfessor Julio César Rivera obtained his Doctor en D
 erecho\n(Doctorate of Jurisprudence) from the Universidad del Salvador. He
 \nteaches civil law in the Faculty of Law of the Universidad de\nBuenos Ai
 res and that of the Universidad de San Andrés in Buenos\nAires\, Argentina
 .\nHe is the founding partner of the law firm Julio César Rivera\,\nabogad
 os\, and has gained international recognition from his\npractice as a lawy
 er. He is a member of the Bar of Buenos Aires\n(Colegio Público de abogado
 s de la Capital Federal)\, as well as of\nthe National Academy of Law\, an
 d is the president of the\nArgentinian Association of Comparative Law.\nHe
  is also a member of UNIDROIT\, and a corresponding member of\nthe Peruvia
 n Academy of Law. In addition\, he has participated in\nArgentina’s legisl
 ative life through his collaboration in the\ndrafting of various bills\, i
 ncluding the ones on trusteeship and\nbankruptcy. He has been a member of 
 the Civil Code Reform\nCommission of 1995. He was also editor for the tran
 slation of the\nCivil Code of Québec into Spanish in the trilingual Code p
 ublished\nby Wilson & Lafleur in 2008.\nAbstract\nArgentina is at once a j
 urisdiction in the civilian tradition\nwith respect to its private law\, a
 nd one which draws from the\nAmerican model with respect to its constituti
 onal structures.\nFollowing an analysis of the enactment of the Civil Code
  as an\ninstrument to further a policy of unifying a federated state\, the
 \nissue will be raised of the Civil Code's status as sole source of\npriva
 te law. To take this path requires reviewing the topics of\ndecodification
  and of the new sources of law\, such as the discovery\nof the Constitutio
 n as source of subjective rights\; the\nconstitutionalization of private l
 aw\;  supranational law\; the\ngrowing importance of the Supreme Court's c
 aselaw\, the lex\nmercatoria and the influence of the common law.\nOn the 
 basis of this survey\, a few concrete examples will be\ndiscussed with res
 pect to the supplanting of the Civil Code as\nprincipal source for private
  law: creation by the courts of a\nsystem of civil liability for the press
 \; tacit departure from the\nrules of the Civil Code due to their conflict
  with supranational\nlaw\; incorporation into domestic law of the trust\, 
 etc. Finally\,\nthis intellectual journey will end with thoughts as to the
  role of\nthe Civil Code within the various attempts at law reform.\n\nThi
 s talk is part of the 'Civil Law and its Codes: a Journey\nAcross the Amer
 icas' Workshops\, which are presented by the Quebec\nResearch Centre of Pr
 ivate and Comparative Law\, and the Grupo\nHispano de la Facultad de Derec
 ho. Sponsored by the Agence\nuniversitaire de la francophonie.\nAttendance
  of this conference provides 1.5 hours of\ncontinuing legal education hour
 s to members of the Quebec Bar\, as\nper the Bar's mandatory professional 
 training\nrequirements.\n\n
