TITLE I.  NATURAL AND JURIDICAL PERSONS

Art. 24.  Kinds of persons

There are two kinds of persons: natural persons and juridical persons.

A natural person is a human being.  A juridical person is an entity to which the law attributes personality, such as a corporation or a partnership.  The personality of a juridical person is distinct from that of its members.
