applicable throughout the Mexican federation. The law provides general principles applicable throughout the act and
enumerates the various forms of private business associations including general partnerships, partnerships in commendam, limited
liability companies, corporations, in commendam companies by shares, cooperative assocations, simplified companies by shares,
and the variable capital company. The law also provides extensive rules on mergers, transformation, and splits; dissolution
of companies; and liquidation of companies.

The Dictionary of Mexican Law, by Julio Romañach, Jr. contains definitions covering a broad
spectrum of Mexican law including — civil law and commercial law (reflected not only in the federal and representative
state civil codes, but also in significant codes and statutes embodying federal commercial law, such as the commercial code,
the general law of negotiable instruments and credit transactions [ley general de títulos y operaciones de crédito],
the contract of insurance law [ley sobre el contrato de seguro], the maritime navigation and commerce law [ley
de la navegación y comercio marítimos], the general law of commercial companies [ley general de sociedades
mercantiles] and other statutes), family law, torts, corporate law, procedural law (including the recently enacted federal
class action law [acciones colectivas]), constitutional law, and criminal law among others.
The second edition is a revised, updated and expanded version of the original edition published in 2012. The Mexican
Federal Congress has been particularly active in amending federal law in several important areas. These areas include
revisions to the Federal Constitution and to the following federal codes and statutes, among others: The Federal Civil
Code; the Commercial Code; the Commercial Companies Act or General Law of Commercial Companies; the Federal Labor Law; the
Federal Insurance Law; the Maritime Navigation and Commerce Law; the Civil Aviation Law; and the Federal Bankruptcy Law.
In addition, the Federal Congress has enacted several extremely important new codes and statutes, among which are: the
National Code of Crimninal Procedure (2014); the Oil and Gas Law (2014); and the Federal law of Environmental Liability (2013). While
the legal terms included in the Dictionary of Mexican Law are set forth in the Spanish original, all definitions
of these terms are written in the English language. Most definitions are derived from and cite to primary sources.
The definitions purport to provide an exposition of the meaning of a particular term or phrase in Mexican law,
with legislative context in many instances. The author translated many Mexican legislative enactments into
English while writing this dictionary and included significant excerpts from those translations, as well as excerpts from
his previously published English translations of the Federal Civil Code [Federal Civil Code of Mexico,
An English translation with an Introduction
and Index by Julio Romañach, Jr.]
and the Commercial Code [Commercial Code of Mexico: Selected Substantive Provisions, An
English translation with an Introduction and Index by
Julio Romañach, Jr.] to provide that legislative context. In view of the importance
to lawyers in the USA of the Mexican states bordering the USA territorial boundaries, the bulk of the terms in family law
often cite to codes from representative Mexican border states.
No prior knowledge of the Spanish language or any familiarity with Mexican
legal terminology is needed to use this dictionary because it includes an English Language Index to Mexican Legal Terms,
arranged in alphabetical order, which points the user to relevant Mexican legal entries in Spanish (with their accompanying
legal definitions in English) located in this dictionary. The Dictionary of Mexican Law
is designed primarily for American legal professionals who, in their practice, encounter Mexican legal terms and concepts
in contracts, wills, government documents and other legal instruments; or who encounter such terms or concepts in legal negotiations
or in the course of litigation; or who have an interest in Mexican law and legal culture. In addition,
the extensive citations to relevant Mexican codes and statutes in the legal definitions of this dictionary provide the American
practitioner with a broader general understanding of the Mexican legal system’s primary sources of the law. Moreover,
a greater understanding of Mexican law facilitates communication with foreign counsel; enhances the American legal professional’s
use of his own analytical skills to spot issues; and helps minimize erroneous assumptions by the American legal professional.
