During the interwar period an autonomous scientific school of historians of law was created in Poznań by scholars grouped around Zygmunt Wojciechowski and the milieu of the initiators of the Polish Western thought. Its research traditions were continued after 1945 at Poznań University and in the intense activity of the Institute for Western Affairs. The Poznań historians of law took active part in research on the German Nazi occupation of Poland during the Second World War and in studies of the Regained Territories (in the aspect of their historical heritage and current political-economic issues). In the second half of the 1940s the Institute for Western Affairs was one of the most important Polish research centres. In the Stalinist period the scientific milieu of the Institute was subjected to numerous restrictions in terms of finances and censorship, and even to certain political repressions. Nevertheless, Zygmunt Wojciechowski continued to fulfill his leading role at the Institute to the end of his life. The article discusses the basic directions of research undertaken by the historians of law within the framework of activity of the Institute for Western Affairs.

The article is an analysis of graduate law programmes at Polish universities in 1952–1954. Drawing on the literature and sources, the author examines the changes taking place in the educa­tion of lawyers during the period of Stalinist indoctrination. He analyses the two-tier programme of studies and concludes that despite its political connotations the programme was not without some achievements. The most important among them was that it educated avaluable generation of law historians making up for the losses suffered by the profession during the Second World War and in the first few years after it ended.

This article aims at describing a process of development of law and a legal language at the Korean Peninsula as a background for showing directions of word borrowings into Korean legal language. In order to achieve this assumption, not only specific Korean legal acts along with their main principles, crucial to forming up new countries in the territory, were analyzed but also some specific Korean legal terms which emerged in Korean legal reality. The history of legal language on Korean Peninsula was presented chronologically in order to present a process of borrowing legal terms. The author presents examples of loanwords which enriched the Korean legal language.

Who needed tax records in the 16th century and why? On budget planning at the start of the early modern period in Poland (Summary)The modern methods of calculating income and expenses using statistical data is sometimes attributed to the period of the Enlightenment. However, an analysis of the surviving sources (constitutions passed by the Sejm and registers of taxable income) suggests that the first attempts to create a balanced budget in the Kingdom of Poland can be dated between 1530–80. At that time action was taken to improve the functioning of the treasury, accompanied by the creation of new types of treasury documentation: tax returns and income tax registers. Both the form and content of the income tax registers indicate that they were used to calculate future years’ tax inflows and to seek the reasons for the periodical drops in revenue. Discontinuing the preparation of tax registers at the end of the 16th century was probably related to changes in the rules for preparing the state budget, which manifested itself in calculating lump-sum taxes or leasing out their collection. In place of planning the future budget, the treasury administration began to concentrate mainly on satisfying current state requirements and paying tax arrears.

The paper is devoted to studies, research and teaching of Professor Józef Mazurkiewicz, the eminent historian of law, at the Catholic University of Lublin. In 1922, he began studying at the Faculty of Law and Social-Economic Sciences. He attended a seminar on the history of law in Western Europe led by prof. Joseph Rafacz. In 1927, after the deposit of state exams, J. Mazurkiewicz received a Master’s degree in law. In the years 1926–1929 he studied history at the Faculty of Humanities of the Catholic University of Lublin. At the same time he was a trainee court, which ended submitting judicial examination, and after completing his military service he completed advocate. While studying and working at the Catholic University of Lublin he wrote his publications. Also his efforts to obtain a doctor degree were discussed. On June 23, 1949, the Minister of Education decided to liquidate the Legal Section within the Faculty of Law and Social-Economic Sciences of the Catholic University of Lublin. On 1 September 1949, J. Mazurkiewicz started working at the Faculty of Law, created at the University of Maria Curie-Skłodowska, where he headed the Department of History of Political System and Law in Poland (since 1950 bearing the name of the Department of Polish History of State and Law).

A renowned Galician memoirist and official, having graduated from the faculty of Law at the Jagiellonian University, Kazimierz Chłędowski attempted to start a career of a scholar. The atmosphere seemed to be favourable due to the increasing Polonization of the University, the introduction of the system of habilitation, and the need for new staff members. What also influenced Chłędowski’s decision was the scholarly work of Julian Dunajewski, whose lectures he attended. Inspired by Dunajewski’s personality and his views on economy, Chłędowski wrote his works, which became the basis of his habilitation procedure. At the same time he published a lot of essays on economy and history as well as on general subjects. He was critical towards the economic situation in Galicia, suggesting concrete solutions: development of local governments and national institutions, decentralization of trade, reducing interest rates on loans. Eventually he gave up the scholarly career, however, and devoted himself to literature and work for the Galician authorities.

The article discusses the problem of evolution and the premises used in applying the English concept known as promissory estoppel. The birth of this legal concept has been discussed on the example of the most important court cases, the so called leading cases, such as, among others, that of High Trees (1947) and Combe v. Combe (1951), in which it was lord Denning who adjudicated. In the article, the author also analyzes the general principles of invoking promissory estoppel. He indicates that in the course of a court trial it is necessary to prove the existence of a promise, on the basis of which the person who was promised something, while acting in accordance with the common sense, decided to withdraw and by undertaking certain definite steps ultimately suffered a loss, whereas withdrawal on the part of the person making a promise would be unjustified. The author of the paper made an effort to try to answer the question whether the abuse of right clause mentioned in Art. 5 of the Civil Code may be regarded as the Polish equivalent of promissory estoppel.

The recent studies on the relations between humanism or humanists and jurisprudence convince that Reneaissance, especially in XVIth century, when the national states began to raise, belonged to the periods of increased interest in the issue of law. Although Erasmus was not a layer, nor he introduced in any of his works a complete theory of law, he maintained close relations with many leading theoreticians of the law and jurists (Alciati, Budé, Cantiuncula, Zasius) and sometimes spoke in the legal discussions of his age. Among hist most important works concerning the matter of law were: Institutio principis Christiani, Ratio seu Methodus verae theologiae, Christiani matrimonii institutio, De interdicto esu carnium and Ecclesiastes. In the paper I’m going to concentrate on this latter work, in which Erasmus discusses the significance of preaching, preacher and widely understood Christian rhetoric. In the Ecclesiastes Erasmus touches the law subject with the special emphasis on historical character of law and relations between the divine law, the law of Christ and the law of Nature. After a short discussion about his understaning of law I will concentrate on the essential differentiation between the letter of law and the spirit of law, and I will point at proposed by Erasmus ways of introduction of law into human life. Erasmus, on the one hand, escaped a rigidity and abstraction of law and, on the other, he neutralised an aspect of the coercion of law. In his solution Erasmus appreciated the political dimension of preaching and acknowledged preacher as a more important guide of the people, than ruler. I’m going to interpret the Erasmian concept of preaching as an rhetorical mean of introduction of law in analogical way to “introduction” proposed by Plato in his Nomoi.

The West Galician Code (Ustawy Cywilne dla Galicyi Zachodniey) was a codification of law created under rule of Franz Joseph I and it was in force on the whole area of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth which had earlier became part of the Habsburg Monarchy. The code dealt with every aspect of civil relations, including parental, to which chapter IV was devoted. According to the act, the main role in the process of child-upbringing was given to a father whose parental responsibility for offspring remained crucial. However, the child was able to act against his/her parents’ will if the court granted him/her the permission. The issue of parental responsibility and status of illegitimate children also gained complex regulation. In that matter, the most important of father’s duties was providing financial support for the offspring. The regulations included in the above-mentioned code cannot be seen as revolutionary but need to be considered as a result of the evolution of law that occurred during the modern age. Some state’s interference with parental authority was, however, a sign of upcoming great European codification movement of the 19th century.

Ustawy Cywilne dla Galicyi Zachodniey to zbiór praw wydanych przez cesarza Franciszka I, które obowiązywały na terenach Rzeczypospolitej przyłączonych do państwa Habsburgów. Regulowały one całokształt stosunków cywilnych, w tym relacje pomiędzy rodzicami a dziećmi. Kwestiom tym został poświęcony rozdział IV. Ustawy kluczową rolę w procesie wychowania dziecka pozostawiały ojcu, który miał daleko idącą władzę nad potomkiem. Dziecko miało jednak możliwość przeciwstawienia się rodzicowi w najważniejszych kwestiach przez zwrócenie się do sądu. Kompleksowo zostały także uregulowane kwestie dotyczące władzy rodzicielskiej i statusu dzieci nieślubnych. W ich przypadku najważniejszym zadaniem ojca było utrzymanie potomka. Regulacje zawarte w prezentowanym zbiorze praw nie mają charakteru rewolucyjnego i stanowią ewolucję praw obowiązujących w epoce nowożytnej. Pewne ingerencje we władzę rodzicielską można uznać za zapowiedź wielkich kodyfikacji XIX w.

The purpose of this article is to a%empt to provide a more precise answer to the question of Paul Vladimiri’s (Latin: Paulus Vladimiri; Polish: Paweł Włodkowic) account of the concept of permissive natural law. This purpose is realized in two steps. First, a brief history of permissive natural laws in the tradition of medieval philosophy is discussed, and the historical context, in which Paul Vladimiri developed his theory of natural law, is outlined. Next, some excerpts from Vladimir’s writings are analysed, in which he uses phrases indicating the presence of the concept of permissive law in his philosophy.

The article presents a statistical description and analysis of the academic output of Professor Stanisław Salmonowicz, a historian and lawyer who has long been associated with Toruń. His output consists of c. 1350 publications, including over 60 books, almost 500 scholarly articles and c. 480 book reviews. The chronological framework of Salmonowicz’s scholarly interests ranges from the sixteenth century to the present day and encompasses both the history of Europe (notably the history of France, Austria and Prussia) and history of Poland with particular emphasis on the history of Pomerania and the city of Toruń. An important place in this output is occupied by the history of law and political systems of European countries. Salmonowicz’s academic publications include monographs on, among other things, the Academic Gymnasium in Toruń in the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries, the codification of penal law in the age of the Enlightened Absolutism, the Polish Underground State of 1939–1945, and the Warsaw Uprising of 1944; as well as numerous scholarly articles on the culture of old Toruń, political and religious matters of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the history of law. Moreover, Salmonowicz is the author of comprehensive books on King Frederick the Great of Prussia and the history of the Prussian state. He has also authored numerous chapters in books published in the series dedicated to the history of Toruń and Pomerania. His works also include many texts that can inspire further academic inquiries. For example, his research into early modern witch trials and the morally questionable attitudes of certain Poles under Nazi and Soviet occupation during the Second World War may be an excellent point of departure for further historical investigations.

Another one in a series of publications on the history of criminal law thought in the eighteenth century Republic of Poland covered the views on the purposes of criminal sanctions which had been presented in Stanisław’s Poland. It presents the opinions, arguments, requests and suggestions which, in connection with this subject, appeared in the said period in journalism, legal literature, as well as private correspondence, of both the greatest Polish jurists of the era, as well as anonymous opinions, being an emanation of views of the then „political nation,” ie the representatives of Polish and Lithuanian gentry. Confronting the views of thinkers and legal practitioners of the Polish Enlightenment with the ideas of most prominent representatives of the eighteenth-century Western thought, the author conducts inquiries about the similarities and differences between the views of philosophers, lawyers and politicians, while trying to pay attention to the relationship between the force of traditionalist argument and expansion of innovative ideas, sometimes almost revolutionary.

The paper is devoted to the issues related to the history of administrative justice in the Polish lands. It is an attempt to synthesise the beginning of the development of such jurisdiction, in complex political reality, and a constitutionally legal period in which the Polish nation was deprived of its sovereign statehood. Using mainly the method of legal comparison, which promotes the use of research subjects taken, the author seeks to present the problem in a possibly condensed way, finally forming a complete view on administrative justice in the Polish lands under occupation, while presenting it in a way that ensures proper perception by a potential reader.

Objectives: The paper describes the development of the system of punishment in our territory from the oldest times up to the modern times. It points out the fundamental difference from the current legal situation: while there is currently the most commonly imposed punishment, imprisonment, in the past there was a "diverse range" of punishment, with imprisonment (as we know it today) at the earliest time ever there. Even in later developmental stages, when it already existed, the motivation of its imposition was different from the present and its imposition was still a rare phenomenon. Material and methods: historical method, analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, comparison, description Results: In the past, many methods of punishment were used in Slovakia. The method of punishment depended on the crime, as well as on the person of the perpetrator. Conclusions: Imprisonment has been used minimally in the past, and has been used as a secondary punishment.
