Reflections on the research by Michał Staszków and Edward Szymoszek at the University of Silesia in Katowice

Summary/Abstract: In the period from 1968 till 2018, the study of Roman law at the University of Silesia in Katowice was carried out, among others, by Michał Staszków and Edward Szymoszek. These two scholars were not only the first lecturers of this subject at the Faculty of Law and Administration in Katowice, but also during their academic careers, they contributed to the expansion of knowledge in this area of law.In the field of Roman law, Michał Staszków researched Roman litigation process, and his most popular works on this subject are the articles Vindicta, Vindex and the monographic work “Vim dicere. Studies on the origins of the Roman litigation process” [Studia nad genezą procesu rzymskiego]. As for the second of the aforementioned scholars — Edward Szymoszek, we can state, on the basis of his works, that the object of his interest was the school of glossators and Roman litigation process, with the emphasis on the status of a judge.During the fifty years of the Faculty of Law and Administration in Katowice, the two Roman law experts undoubtedly exerted influence on the development of Roman law. They were connected not only by the fact that they taught Roman law, but also by their interests. Later in his career, Edward Szymoszek made an insightful analysis of the works of Michał Staszków, and the work of his predecessor influenced the direction of his later research in the field of litigation.
