Szabó Pál Endre: összekötő kapocs a romániai magyar nyelvű jogászképzés két korszaka között
Endre Pál Szabó: a Link Between Two Eras of Hungarian-language Legal Education in Romania

Summary/Abstract: The Unitarian Pál Endre Szabó (1920–2004) is an important, yet still little known figure in Romanian Hungarian jurisprudence. His career spanned both the period of the disappearance and the resumption of Hungarian-language legal education in Romania. This article provides additional information to his biography. Pál Endre Szabó studied at the Unitarian High School in Székelykeresztúr (Cristuru Secuiesc) and at the Faculty of Law of the University of Sciences in Kolozsvár (Cluj-Napoca). He was a prisoner of war in the USA during World War II, and received his law degree and doctorate from the Faculty of Law and Economics of Bolyai University. He worked as an associate professor at the Bolyai University and later at the Babeș-Bolyai University, and after his retirement he was a lecturer at the Sulyok István College in Nagyvárad (Oradea) for more than half a decade. He was the lay president of the Unitarian Church. His books on civil procedural law, published in Hungarian, established the Hungarian terminology of Romanian procedural law, which is still in force today.
