Elisa Pérez Vera

Elisa Pérez Vera (born 1 June 1940) is a Spanish jurist, a professor of Private International Law at the National University of Distance Education (UNED) and magistrate of the Constitutional Court of Spain from 2001 to 2012.

[4] A specialist in international law, she was a member of the Spanish delegation in the United Nations special committee for the definition of aggression in Geneva.

At the proposal of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) in the Congress of Deputies, she was appointed magistrate of the Constitutional Court in 2001, with a mandate that ended on 7 November 2010, but was extended until 2012 due to the absence of an agreement between the People's Party and the PSOE in the Congress of Deputies for the renewal of the four corresponding magistrates.

[7] Finally, in April 2010, after the first draft was rejected, she was replaced by President María Emilia Casas, with the presentation put in the charge of magistrate Javier Delgado Barrio [es].

[citation needed] The situation was made public by the president of the Community of Madrid, Esperanza Aguirre, who described the events of "shame" and harshly criticized the judgment for its defective technique, when entering into assessments of the facts and evidence, outside the jurisdiction of the Court.
