Summary/Abstract: The ecclesiastical courts of Wallachia and Moldavia had a rich activity especially in the field of family law, heritage and even criminal law. They have a long history since the 14th century and they are still active in modern Romania. They function on the basis of the autonomy principle and they were contested in their rationae personae and rationae materiae activity. We present here some cases and court decisions which actually recognize the existence and the competence of these courts, which are a sign of legal pluralism.
