The beginnings of cultivation of legal science in Slovakia: The centenary of the establishment of the Právny obzor and the first personalities in Slovak legal science

Summary/Abstract: The author points to the beginnings of the cultivation of legal science in Slovakia. Consciously Slovak advocates played an important role in this process. The first expert articles written in Slovak appeared in the Slovenský Peňažník (Slovak Financier) in 1909. However, the real development of legal science began only in 1917, when the advocate Emil Stodola established the first Slovak legal periodical Právny obzor (Legal Horizon). This year, we are marking the hundredth anniversary of its continual publication. No other academic periodical in Slovakia has such a distinguished history. The Právny obzor stood at the beginning of the formation of Slovak legal science and it also significantly contributed to the formation of legal practice. Apart from articles devoted to current legal problems such as the unification of Czechoslovak law, the Právny obzor published articles on legal history. For this paper, the author selected the articles of the outstanding First Republic period lawyer Vladimír Fajnor, who held various ministerial positions and later became the first president of the Supreme Court of the Czechoslovak Republic. In these articles he presented the lives and works of the most important nationally conscious advocates from before 1918, such as the brothers Pavol and Michal Mudroň, Štefan Fajnor and Vladimír Štefanovič.
