Studia prawnicze Polaków na nowo powstałym w 1811 r. Uniwersytecie we Wrocławiu nie były dotąd przedmiotem szczególnego zainteresowania, a badacze polskich organizacji akademickich , Polonii we Wrocławiu w XIX w. czy polskich peregrynacji naukowych za granicą w XIX w. , wspominają o nich jedynie na marginesie. I pomimo że, jak zauważył Witold Molik odnośnie do dziejów polskich towarzystw studenckich, ich losy we Wrocławiu są najlepiej rozpoznane spośród wszystkich niemieckich ośrodków akademickich w Niemczech , o studiach prawniczych niewiele z nich się dowiadujemy.

Despite the fact that it was established in 1811, the University in Wrocław was one of those German universities at which Poles usually chose legal studies. However, the numbers of such studies gradually decreased over the 19th century. This was caused by several factors. First of all, these studies, which were also amongst the most costly and time-consuming ones, mostly prepared for the execution of legal profession in Germany. Therefore, they were not particularly attractive for the majority of Poles from areas under Russian rule or in Galicia, considering the heyday of the universities in Cracow, Lviv and the Main School in Warsaw. However, regardless of this fact, Poles studying law at the university in Wrocław were the authors of spectacular achievements in the history of European and national science. The fame of some of the professors teaching there, or at least their favour towards Poles were a factor in attracting Polish students to Wrocław. By presenting the figures of less or more eminent scholars and university teachers and information about the students, which is possible to identify due to the existing resources, and their connection with Polish scientific circles and national and social organizations, this study is divided into four sub-periods closely connected with the history of the university in Wrocław, Prussia (Germany), as well as Polish lands in the 19th and at the beginning of the 20th centuries. This knowledge seems particularly important and useful especially now when the sounds of last year’s celebrations of the 200th anniversary of the University in Wrocław and the Law Department at this university can still be heard – the Law Department is the third oldest from amongst the existing law departments in Poland.
