AGUILAR PEREZ, Jorge. Reseña histórica de las jornadas costarricenses de medicina legal. Med. leg. Costa Rica [online]. 2001, vol.18, n.2, pp.05-09. ISSN 2215-5287.

In november 1986, we started with the Seminary of Legal Medicine, with the support of the Doctors Eduardo Vargas Alvarado and Fernando Garzona Messeguer, also with the support of Mrs. Felicia Montealegre, secretary of the Legal Medicine Department. Since the beginning this activity filled the expectations of the organizers and participants. In 1993 we had a brief stop, in 1994 Doctor Jorge Mario Roldan Retana gave to this activity a new vision. This second chance makes us happy and proud today, as we reach 15 years of annual Seminars.
