Wymiar sprawiedliwości na Wileńszczyźnie w okresie funkcjonowania Zarządu Cywilnego Ziem Wschodnich (1919–1920)
The Judiciary of the Vilnius Region at the time of the Civil Administration of the Eastern Lands

Summary/Abstract: When, in November 1918, Poland regained independence, the future of the Eastern Lands of the pre-partition Polish Republic was in doubt. Although in April 1919 the Polish army occupied the Vilnus region, it was not incorporated into the reborn state. The civil authority in this area was exercised by the Polish administration organized into the Civil Administration of the Eastern Lands. The task of this board was, among others, to create the Polish justice system. Despite very difficult conditions, it was successful. However, the effect of one year’s work was thwarted due to the summer Bolshevik offensive of 1920.
