History

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]
