Abstract

The article deals with legal education in the Duchy of Warsaw (1807–1815), which was a transitory period between a feudal and modern state. The urgent need for institutional education of a state personnel resulted from existence of legal rovisionsstemming from several legal orders, divergence in qualifications of personel in administration and judiciary, as well as a necessity for efficient implementation of Napoleonic law. Those circumstances were precisely diagnosed by the inister of justice. He initiated courses of law followed by the School of Law and School of Administration. As the Duchy’s territory was enlarged, legal teaching had place also at the university in Cracow. It seems that although the state existed for only a short period, a more or less cohesive governmental concept of legal education’s role existed. It was to serve mainly the development of the state and this utilitariangoal dominated. It is worth reminding that those first Polish endeavours in the field of modern legal education took place at the time of a public finance crisis. Although majority of income was devoted to military needs and many projectswere put off until later, authorities noticed that for an efficient governing of a state a well-educated personnel is needed. At that time this belief was not common.<br/><br/>
