PUGLIESE, María Rosa. The Institute after Levene. The work of Ricardo Zorraquín Becú. Rev. hist. derecho [online]. 2017, n.54, pp.1-10. ISSN 1853-1784.

In this article I evoke the Institute of Legal History after the death of Ricardo Levene, and then move forward to the appointment of Institute of Legal History Ricardo Zorraquín Becú as director. I begin with a biography of the latter and then go on to analyze Ricardo Levene's objectives that were fulfilled by his successor: to continue the work of the Institute, raise legal history to the category of autonomous subject and gather Spanish colonial legal history specialists in an international institute. Added to such objectives were others, such as  to maintain the scientific level of the Institute, make it a meeting place for professors and students, define the nature of the legal-historical discipline and include it in the syllabus of the School of Law, strengthen legal history vocations and create a successor institute to fulfill its aims.

Keywords : 80th Anniversary - Instituto Levene - History of Law - Ricardo Zorraquín Becú.
