Texto jurídico

[irmamar]

How would I say 'texto jurídico'? Legal text? I want to say that the Magna Carta of 1215 is 'un texto jurídico'; but more than a law, I would say that it tries to regulate the feudal customs, so I'm not sure if "legal text" is appropriate here. In Spanish we distinguish "texto jurídico" from "ley". A "texto jurídico" can be a sentence, a law or another administrative text created by the Administration of Justice.

Thanks.

Juridical text.

Pero por acá toda la gente dice "legal text"

[irmamar]

Thanks, Chileno. I think I'll leave "legal".

[hermit]

Agreed...

It is a constitutional document. It is in fact the only written part of the constitution of the UK.

Yes? Is it still current?

As far as I know (which is not very far), yes.

I've just learnt that only 3 of the 63 clauses are still valid today. Now you know something else.

Well, you are the one reading a book about British history, so there we are.

Wikipedia disagrees with the second statement too, pointing to such acts as the Act of Union, Human Rights Act, etc.

It was one of those things I thought I remembered from school, but must have been spurious.
