This is the first paper of a series of three. Here we give an abstract definition of the relative compactified Jacobian of a family of reduced curves. We prove that, under some mild assumptions on the family of curves, the fibres of the relative Jacobian are schemes (and not just algebraic spaces). We define V-stability conditions, and use them to construct relative compactified Jacobians. This extends the classical methods to produce modular compactifications of the Jacobian. To conclude, we show that, in the case when the curves have at worst planar singularities, the compactified Jacobians constructed from V-stability conditions have the same good properties of the classical ones.
