Between 1830 and 1849, a substantial phase of the transition of the juridical order developed in Queretaro, in a period in which forms and colonial structures persisted. At the same time, innovations from the Cadiz Constitution were reintroduced, and procedures that allowed transformations in the judicial procedure and that limited the sources of the law were promulgated. In this period limits were established, which generated tensions about the normative formal proposals and their relation with the daily practices of the operators of justice and institutions, in the frame of procedures, technical concepts, social relations, interests in conflict and criteria of valuation.
