The Royal Academy of Jurisprudence and Legislation (Spanish: Real Academia de Jurisprudencia y Legislación) is a Spanish learned society focused on research and knowledge about legal sciences and legislation.[1] It is headquartered in Madrid, in a building declared Cultural Interest Good in 1998.[citation needed]
The origins of the royal academy date back to the meetings of relevant academics and jurists from the city of Madrid who formed the Practical Jurisprudence Board.[2]
This learned society functioned outside the Crown until the reign of Charles III, when in 1763 it was officially recognized and given its current name.[2]
