Summary/Abstract: The conference "Czechoslovak Justice as a Pillar of the Regime 1948–1989," held on October 14 at the Senate of the Czech Republic, highlighted the role of the judiciary in supporting the communist regime. Senate President Miloš Vystrčil and other speakers emphasized the importance of studying the communist justice system to prevent similar abuses in the future. Experts from the Czech Republic and Slovakia discussed the theoretical aspects and specific cases illustrating the judiciary's subservience to the regime. Topics included the class-based discrimination in sentencing, the structure of military justice, and the political trials during normalization. The conference underscored the ongoing impact of past judicial practices on the current legal system and the need for continued research and discussion.
