Overcome the pandemic that prevented whoever writes this from concluding in March 2020 the updated versions limited to that date, of the civil codes, one for Mexico City of the 21st century; and the other Federal Civil Code for the Republic, which at that time were ready, and which for obvious reasons remained in the José María Castellanos Elías Publishing House, which makes what is published by Editorial Porrúa a reality.
Two years have passed, there have been modifications, both in one and in the other, and finally today, already in the press and close to seeing the light of the year 2022, we announce that unlike most of the normative civil bodies of the Republic, those mentioned, have a systematic and methodological contribution, which has already led to the one from Mexico City, within the collection of books and laws of the Casa Porrúa occupying the 76th place, that is, it is the edition that corresponds to that number, and that of the federal one, which, as my distinguished readers well know, on May 28, 2000, changed its name to the Federal Civil Code, coinciding with the change of the state entity called Federal District at that time, and that formally in the In 2016, in a decree issued by Peña Nieto, transitory article 14 required that any normative body, law or regulation, which was called the Federal District, from then on should be from Mexico City; what we have added, which is the Civil Code, speaking of that of Mexico City in the 21st century, because it entered into force on May 1, 2000.
We recommend those who honor us by reading this article, to take advantage of the fact that each one of the 3074 articles, discounting those of copyright, each one has, according to the best knowledge and understanding of the law of each norm, the annotation made by Julián Güitrón Fuentevilla, which allows teachers, students, researchers, judges and those who want an instrument of easy understanding and access to start reading each precept, first in bold letters, which at the end of each precept are made by whoever writes this ; I must clarify that they are neither references, nor updates, nor interpretations, nor adaptations; it is the text of the law, as it is, synthesized in a phrase of three or four words, in some cases more, but without losing the main objective of each of these precepts, to better help understand and especially in learning, the usefulness of a norm of this magnitude, which, as my distinguished readers well know, contains what the Romans in their time called the ius civilis; ius commune, or right of the Roman town, because in its origins everything was that right; over time specialization, bifurcation; the concern of jurists and researchers, has resulted in the great diversification of these subjects, and that still, and this is an undoubted example of the strength of Civil Law, that even today, in the 21st century in the Faculty of Law of the UNAM, of its ten semesters, six are contemplated in that Civil Code, for example for the Mexico City of the 21st century or the Federal Civil Code; and the same happens with those of the other entities, because although it is true and we have demonstrated it ad nauseam, that Family Law is a third gender next to the public and the private, it continues to use the example of Mexico City as part of this normative body, which is obviously an aberration, but they have it that way; but the important thing is that already in the systematics, in the new way of teaching this subject, in which the writer and the teacher Manuel Ovilla Mandujano may he rest in peace, in the year 1993, being Director of the Faculty of Law Dr. Máximo Carbajal Contreras, we managed to pedagogically separate the teaching of these two subjects, and thus the Civil I courses remained to talk about the Comprehensive Theory of the Legal Act and Persons; the second on Property and Real Rights; the third on the Law of Obligations, and the fourth on the Law of Contracts; and the fifth semester to Family Law; demanding to pass the others in order to have the right to take this one; and the last one, which is the six subjects of the 10 semesters that are taught in that way on Inheritance Law.
Surely the moment, which will be in days, that we make the formal presentation of these two new regulatory bodies, we will reiterate, not only in this space but also on our YouTube channel, that as you know, that by putting Julián Güitrón Fuentevilla the 320 programs that we did in the year 2008 to 2018 in the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation, and the new season that we have started, under the auspices of the National College of Higher Studies in Family Law and the International Institute of Family Law and Civil Law; founded and chaired respectively by whoever writes this; the first in 1973 and the second in 1977.
