About Me

Ariel Barbero arielbarbero@yahoo.com: I have two blogs -one in English, one in Spanish. They have different content. I was born and live in Argentina. I am a lawyer, have written two books on civil law and a number of articles for law reviews. I think that the rule of law is one of the best achievements of mankind, though its meaning is often misunderstood. It is not merely a legal concept. It is an essential part of civilization. So the blog is not meant only for lawyers. Spanish blog (arielbarbero.blogspot.com): Nací y vivo en la Argentina. Estudié y ejercí el Derecho, he publicado dos libros, y también notas en la revista La Ley. Pero soy de los abogados que creen que es bueno y necesario también conocer música, literatura, cine... Estudié inglés y alemán.
