Summary/Abstract: Ladislav Soukup's legacy in legal history is marked by his unwavering dedication and profound impact on the field. His journey began in public administration before transitioning to academia, where he faced challenges head-on, including standing up to authoritative figures. Soukup's expertise in the legal history of the First Republic, particularly press law, was complemented by his role in establishing the Institute of Legal History. His contributions included organizing international conferences, editing the journal "Právněhistorické studie," and publishing numerous studies on Czechoslovak legal development. Soukup's commitment extended to teaching, where he was beloved for his fair examination methods. His personal life, supported by his family, and his cherished retreat, humorously dubbed "pastouška," added depth to his character. Soukup's influence remains significant, leaving a lasting void among colleagues and students.
