The District Court in Biała Podlaska was established on 19 January 1919. Until the law on the system of common courts of law, uniform for the whole of Poland came into force on 1 January 1929, the organization of common courts of law in the area in question was based on the regulations binding in the Kingdom of Poland in the period of Partitions. The Biała Podlaska Judicial District was subordinated to the Warsaw Court of Appeal and its jurisdiction covered the Biała Podlaska, Konstantynów, Radzyń, and Włodawa counties. The whole district was divided into 21 smaller units - the areas of jurisdiction of courts of peace. After the reform in 1921 in the Biała Podlaska district there were eight courts of peace: two in each of the district’s four counties. As of 1 January 1929, after the new law on the system of common courts of law uniform for the whole area of the Republic of Poland came into force, courts of peace were renamed borough courts (magistrates’ courts, sądy grodzkie), which stayed at the former seats of the courts of peace. The District Court was headed by the president to whom district judges, investigating judges, district prosecutor and deputy prosecutors, justices of the peace, court secretaries and undersecretaries, treasurer and accountant, clerks, court officers, servants, mortgage clerks, notaries and debt collectors were subordinate. The District Court in Biała Podlaska was abolished on 31 December 1931.
