Summary/Abstract: Roman law is one of the most important courses in the education of prospective lawyers. Hence, it simply had to be included in the law curriculum at the newly established University of Silesia, established in 1968. However, the history of teaching Roman law in Katowice reaches an earlier date, as it was taught since 1966 at the Katowice branch of the Jagiellonian University. The course in Roman law during the first academic year at the Universityof Silesia was taught by Professor Wacław Osuchowski, Dr Wiesław Litewski, and K.Kolba. When the University of Silesia was established, the course was handed over to assistant professor Michał Staszków, who moved to Katowice from the University of Wrocław.In addition to Roman law, Professor Staszków was interested in law on inventions, whichhe practiced from the 1970s.
