Spanish term

Doctrinariamente

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s)
This adverb comes from a text on contract law

'Doctrinariamente, ha sido definido como un negocio jurídico bilateral o multilateral . . .'

I get the sense, but wondered if there were a legal equivalent in English.

(according to) legal scholarship (or) academic opinion (or) the opinion of legal scholars (etc.)

In this context "doctrine" and "doctrina" are false cognates. As it is most often used in Spanish legal contexts, "doctrina" denotes the writings of law professors and legal commentators, and can be translated as “legal scholarship,” “academic opinion,” “legal writing, “academic writing,” “the opinion of legal scholars,” etc.

Example sentence:

His opinions are lucid and well structured, and he eviscerates his ... Richard Posner was once the guiding light for legal academics charting a path www.legalaffairs.org/poll/
