| Sumario: | Among the various sources that are often used to portray the national legal thought from the mid-nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the thesis for the degree of "Doctor en Jurisprudencia" take a significant place. During the first century of the University of Buenos Aires 3,450 theses were defended. Throughout that time their characteristics, as well as the topics discussed within them, experienced mutations that allows the researcher to track down various issues related not only to the evolution and change in matters of law but the way the practice was conceived. In this article we propose to reflect on the thesis as a source for legal history, especially considering its context of production. Secondly, it will be analyzed their specific use for the study of prison reform, which begins to be studied as a thesis topic in 1869, gaining importance to the early twentieth century and finally falling into disuse in 1915. |
