Summary/Abstract: Among the sources of law in the Duchy of Warsaw, the rules and customs in force in the Republic before its collapse played a significant role. The judgments published in the "Journal of Judgments of the Court of Cassation of the Duchy of Warsaw" are vital for understanding the judiciary practice, as well as for the sources of substantive and procedural law of that time. The analysis of judgments of the Court of Cassation of the Duchy of Warsaw shows that this court rarely relied on pre-partition law.
