Sędziowie komisoryjni w Królewskiej Hucie w dwudziestoleciu międzywojennym
The Commission Judges (sędziowie komisoryjni) in Królewska Huta during the Interbellum

Summary/Abstract: The institution of a commission judge (sędzia komisoryjny) appeared in the Polish legal system together with the incorporation of the former Prussian Partition territories and the establishment of the Polish judicature there. From 1920 the commission judges functioned in the Poznań and Toruń appellation units. On Polish Upper Silesia they operated from June 1922. They were mostly judges from Galicia. On the one hand, they helped to manage the backlog in courts, functioning as judges in all court units, which significantly complemented staff shortages. On the other, this job enabled them to quickly open their law firms, and later notary firms. The paper attempts to demonstrate the significance and role as played by commission judges (sędziowie komisoryjni) in the powiat court in Królewska Huta, the second biggest court of that type in Polish Upper Silesia in the 1920s.
