I. L
El «Derecho Civil Personas» es la primera de las asignaturas que compone
el bloque de ramas o materias de Derecho Civil de la carrera de Derecho
en Venezuela y que se cursa iniciando la misma. Le siguen en los años si-
guientes: Derecho Civil Bienes o Derechos Reales, Derecho Civil
Obligaciones, Contratos y Garantías, y nalmente Derecho de Familia y
Sucesiones. Estas se expanden en el contenido programático del pénsum
de estudios como en la vida, esto es, con una marcada omnipresencia, supe-
rando en cantidad a cualquier otra asignatura, inclusive de Derecho público.
El Derecho Civil constituye la materia con mayores aplicaciones prácticas
en la realidad de la vida cotidiana. Denominada, en feliz expresión de
L B, el «Derecho de la vida diaria»1, porque desde el ins-
tante en que nacemos hasta que morimos, e inclusive después, rige nuestra
vida jurídica. El Derecho Civil, en términos excesivamente simples, re-
gula las relaciones entre particulares en un plano de igualdad, por opo-
sición al Derecho público, que apareja la intervención del Estado en un
plano de superioridad. Siendo referido el Derecho privado como muestra
de libertad2. Aunque modernamente se cuestiona la pretendida igualdad
