Alessandria and took up the study of law inPavia as early as 1536. After receiving a doctorate in 1550, Claro was appointed aMilan ese Senator by Philip II in 1536, a royalpretor inCremona in 1560/61, president of the Milanese "Magistrato straordinario delle entrate " in 1563 andregens of theConsejo d' Italia inMadrid in 1565.Claro's work, together with that of Deciani and Farinacci, provided the theoretical foundation for the common
criminal law of Europe. That common law held sway until it was attacked by Enlightenment legal critics such as Feuerbach and replaced by nationalpenal code s in the 19th century.

Dedicated to criminal law, it was reprinted as part of the "Julii Clari Opera omnia" as late as 1737.References
