D.Lorenzo Arrazola y García (10 August 1795, inCheca, Guadalajara,Spain^[1] – 23 February 1873, inMadrid, Spain^[2]) was a Spanishlawyer,politician andstatesman best known for beingPrime Minister of Spain, a six termMinister of Justice and two-timePresident of the Supreme Court.

García was born inCheca, a small town inGuadalajara.^[1] He was able to attend a seminary with the help of his mother's brother, mayor of a village inBenavente.^[3] There, he completed his early education, eventually graduating with a degree intheology andphilosophy, during which time he became fluent inLatin. At 28, García left the seminary in order to join the military,^[4] against his uncle's wishes. He later went toValladolid to studycivil jurisprudence, becoming chair of the philosophy department and, later, rector of the university. García then went toComplutense University, where he spent a decade as a part of the faculty.

In 1829, he married Ana Micaela Guerrera. She was a native ofVillanueva de Campa, where García had helped to repair the church after it set fire in 1850.

He began his political career in 1835, at age 38, seeking to be elected procurator.^[5] In 1837 was designated deputy of the courts in Valladolid, leaving behind law and teaching. His ideological principles settled as he joined theModerate Party and theAteneo de Madrid.

In 1837 Arrazola entered his first election, becoming a member of Spain'sCongress of Deputies, a seat he held until February 1841. In December 1838 he started his first of six terms asMinister of Grace and Justice.

In thanks for creating a new Criminal Code, QueenIsabella II made Arrazola a senator-for-life on 23 December 1848.^[6]

He served as the 4thAttorney General of Spain for a short period of time between April and October 1847. He was confirmed asPresident of the Supreme Court in 1851, a position he held until 1853 and again between 1856 and 1864.

Between 1864 and 1867 he is both Minister of Justice andMinister of Interior at interim.
