Justo Arosemena
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Justo Arosemena (1817-1896) was a Panamanian jurist and politician.
After studies in Bogotá and Magdalena y el Istmo, he taught law at the Colegio de Panamá and became a secretary in the government of the Estado Libro del Istmo (1840-41). As a member of the Congress of Nueva Granada (1850) and as senator of Istmo de Panamá (1853), he authored many legal codifications and was instrumental in bringing about the autonomy of the Colombian federal state of Panama. His extensive drafts of legal codifications, the so-called Proyectos Arosemena, were to become the basis of Panamanian and Colombian legislation in the second half of the 19th century.
