Nicolás Pérez Serrano (Ceuta, 1890-Madrid, 1961)

Abstract

The text provides a profile of Nicolás Pérez Serrano (1890-1961), a prominent figure in Spanish Political and Parliamentary Law. His career spanned over 50 years, including roles as a professor at the Central University of Madrid and Counsel to the Spanish Parliament. Among his most significant works is the Tratado de Derecho Político (1936-1939), regarded as a classic in the Theory of the State and Comparative Constitutional Law. During Franco's regime, he faced political purges and was temporarily removed from his chair, yet continued publishing on parliamentary law, state theory, and private law. His legacy offers critical insights into constitutional law during times of crisis.
