The Role of the Studies of Law in the Preparation for the Performance of the Judicial Service. The Discourse and Practice of the Second Republic of Poland

Summary/Abstract: The idea of the article is to describe Polish interwar ideas of a desired religious system of relationships between the organisation of the studies of law and an appropriate level of training for persons who prepare for and those who already perform the judicial service. Determining convictions concerning competences, which constitute the concept of the appropriate preparation, as well as stating which of the competences and to what extent should, according to the participants of the debate, be obtained as a part of university education were considered essential. In the paper the specifics of a widely understood social context of discussion (an increasing supply of lawyers, a “shallow labour market”, an instrumental employment relationship of the country with the law youth) and the state of regulation are outlined. In further considerations, representative concepts of the reform of the studies of law are listed and compared. Basic axis of controversy (the role of the historical items and general education, the need and range of the specialisation of the studies, combining studies and practice, the desirability of preserving a unified character of the studies) is also indicated. At the same time, it shows that it was at least partially based on a misconception (especially the debate concerning the role of general education and the specialisation of the studies).
