This paper highlights the relevance of attorneys -as representatives of third parties- in the administration of justice based on a voluminous corpus of public deeds created in the city of Córdoba in the late 16th century. Based on the survey of powers of attorney granted between 1574 and 1600, the analysis focuses on those whose granting specifically involved the power to manage judicial matters, trying to account for some of the characteristics and variants of the representation, such asthe geographical scope of the actions of the proxies and the participation of different social sectors in this type of intermediation. La administración de justicia en el período colonial implicaba la participación de un conjunto variado de agentes -jueces, escribanos, secretarios, procuradores, abogados, etc.- que garantizaban el ejercicio de la jurisdicción. Este trabajo se propone reconocer la relevancia de los apoderados -como representantes de terceros- en la administración de justicia a partir de un voluminoso corpus de escrituras públicas labradas en la ciudad de Córdoba en el último cuarto del siglo XVI. Partiendo del relevamiento de los poderes otorgados entre 1574 y 1600 se focaliza el análisis en aquéllos cuyo otorgamiento involucra específicamente la potestad para gestionar asuntos judiciales, procurando dar cuenta de algunas de las características y variantes de la representación, como la amplitud geográfica de la actuación de los apoderados y la participación de los diferentes sectores sociales en esta modalidad de intermediación. A administração da justiça no período colonial envolveu a participação de um conjunto variado de agentes -juízes, notários, secretários, procuradores, advogados, etc.- que garantiam o exercício da jurisdição. Este trabalho visa reconhecer a relevância dos procuradores -como representantes de terceiros- na administração da justiça a partir de um volumoso corpus de escritos públicos elaborados na cidade de Córdoba no último quarto do século XVI. Partindo do levantamento dos procurações conferidos entre 1574 e 1600, a análise centra-se naqueles cuja atribuição envolve especificamente o poder de gestão de assuntos judiciais, tentando dar conta de algumas das características e variantes de representação, como a amplitude geográfica das ações dos advogados e a participação de diferentes setores sociais nesse tipo de intermediação.
