Oral aspects of the Colonial adjective law are traced by connecting them to the so-called classical principles of procedure: publicity, concentration, celerity, contradiction, procedural equality, immediacy, and judicial direction. From the introduction of the concentration of canonical law, civil powers, such as the Spanish language, also attempted to put it into effect with procedures that crossed to the American continent. Through the study of civil, penal, and other Indiano procedures, an analysis of both the presence in them of the classical principles already mentioned and the influence of the oral media on its objective is carried out. © 2006 Ediciones Universitarias de Valparaiso Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso.
