The Affairs of the Orthodox Church, Evangelical Churches and Jewish Religious Communities in the Legal Practice of the General Counsel’s Office of the Republic of Poland in the Years 1919-1939

Summary/Abstract: The General Counsel’s Office of the Republic of Poland came into existence be a decree of the temporary Chief of State Józef Piłsudski on 7 February 1919. Six months later, on 31 July 1919, the Polish parliament revoked the decree and passed a new law establishing a centralized model for the protection of the legal and property interests of the state and churches. Protection afforded by the General Counsel’s Office of the Republic of Poland had the form of legal representation and legal opinions. This protection, regarded by the churches as a form of state’s supervision, was abolished in 1926. After 1925 the affairs of the Orthodox Church, Evangelical Churches, and Jewish religious communities were narrowed down to the protection of the state’s public and property interests in relation to the churches.
