Julio Romañach, Jr. is a Cuban-born attorney admitted to the bars of Louisiana and Florida who received
his primary and secondary education at Colegio de Belén, La Habana, Cuba
and Colegio San Ignacio de Loyola, Río Piedras, Puerto Rico, respectively.
He attended college in Louisiana, a jurisdiction with civil-law roots, and received
his B.A. degree (1974) from Louisiana State University and his J.D. degree (1978) from Louisiana State University School
of Law. He has translated numerous Latin American codes, as
well as the Civil Code of Spain, into English. In 1991, he
translated the Puerto Rican Code of Private International Law from English into Spanish for the Puerto
Rican Academy of Legislation and Jurisprudence (Academia Puertorriqueña de Legislación
y Jurisprudencia). Over the
course of his career, he has worked extensively with legal documents, codes, statutes, regulations,
judicial decisions, law review articles, treatises, and other commentary in Spanish originating from
many different countries, in Portuguese (from both Brazil and Portugal), and in
French. For nearly thirty years, he was professionally associated
with the Center of Civil Law Studies of the LSU Law Center and the Louisiana State Law Institute, an offical law
reform commission for the State of Louisiana.
