Resumen
This paper works on the representation in Law. After distinguishing among representativeness, symbolic representation and practical representation, the paper focuses on the last one (there the representative «acts for or in the place of» the represented). Depending on the nature of the represented, three kinds of practical representation must be found in Law: individual, institutional and collective ones. There are very different ways of generating the representation relationship, but it always implies both a constitutive aspect (the consequences of the representative’s acts are attributed to the represented) and a regulative aspect (the representative must act in the interest of the represented).
