General Theory of the Process” was presented. Dr. Adolfo Alvarado Velloso, Andrea Meroi and Alejandra Despontin.
The work “was designed and written to facilitate Law students throughout America’s understanding of the unique legal phenomenon called ‘process’, and, in the process of having to study it, make simple the explanation of its numerous and very varied topics,” said Velloso.
The renowned doctor of laws and former magistrate recognizes that the work is the result of circumstances that marked him with fire: “I wish to begin my own presentation with a kind of intimate confidence, which will attempt to explain the origin, method and purpose of this manual “.
He then alluded to his experience teaching Procedural Law, which dates back more than 50 years, in many places and with different audiences. “After the first years I discovered that the traditional teaching methods with which I studied, based on the mere description and subsequent explanation of the standard, were insufficient to ensure that the students fully and adequately grasped the concepts that with much effort and vocation explained,” he considered.

Current events and necessity of procedural law
During the inaugural class of the degree in Posadas, in the presence of a large and attentive audience, Alvarado Velloso was excited by the work carried out to carry out this Specialization “which is becoming so necessary throughout the country and which continues to require updating definitions and Applications”.
In the difficult, violent times that we are experiencing, the need to turn to the Law to resolve conflicts becomes increasingly evident. At the same time, Procedural Law is necessary to apply the law to ordinary people, since it allows the “justiciable party” to access the judicial bench and for the Judge to apply the law and do justice.
Although this has always been studied, there is a need to update the concepts and incorporate topics that make for the provision of a better justice service, such as new collective, electronic processes and constitutional processes, among others.
