Summary/Abstract: The advocates and advocate’s trainees of Łódź were affiliated with the Bar Council of Warsaw, established in February 1919, which acting on the basis of internal regulations, appointed its representatives in individual localities. According to the sources, the Council’s delegate functioned in Łódź as early as 1925–1926. However, due to the systematic increase in the number of members of the bar in this city, it became necessary to expand the representation, which resulted in the establishment of a collegiate Delegation in 1934. This entity operated on the basis of its elaborate regulations, adopted by the Bar Council on June 25, 1935, which remained in force in almost unchanged form until the outbreak of World War II. Some modifications were made by the Bar Council on January 2, 1937, in connection with the stance of the General Assembly of the Łódź Bar on increasing the number of representative members. With a relatively wide range of competencies, the Łódź Delegation undertook activities in the field of amicable courts, tax matters, among others, and also sought to combat the unlicensed legal services.
