Germano Schwartz writers the blog Iurisdictio-lex Malacitana in French, Spanish, and English (there might be a few more languages in there) on the intersections of law, the arts, philosophy, and narrative. He holds the degrees of Doctor of Law from the Universidad del Vale do Rio dos Sinos, and studied at Paris X (again, collecting a few more degrees along the way). He teaches at the Universidad Luterana do Brasil, among other institutions. Among his publications is La Constitucion, la literatura, y el derecho (Buenos Books America, 2011), translated from the Portugeuse by Fernando Pedro Meinero.

According to the Encyclopedic Dictionary of Roman Law, the Lex Malacitana, together with the Lex Salpensana, was found on bronze tablets in Spain, near Malaga. The Lex Malacitana contains information about "municipal assemblies, candidates in elections and voting, the adminsitration of municipal funds, tax-farming, fines, and the like." See Adolf Berger, Encyclopedia Dictionary of Roman Law, Transactions of the American Philosophical Society, vol. 43, part 2, n.s. (1953) at 559.
