Summary/Abstract: There were eight departments of administrative law and science at Polish universities during the interwar period: Kraków, Poznań, and Warsaw each had two; and Lwów and Wilno had one each. That also means that there were eight appointee professors: W.L. Jaworski and K.W. Kumaniecki in Kraków, J. Panejko in Wilno, Z. Pazdro and T. Bigo in Lwów, B. Wasiutyński, S. Kasznica, and M. Zimmermann in Poznań, and B. Wasiutyński in Warsaw (after having left Poznań). There were nine persons who received veniam legendi, which meant permission to give lectures in administrative law and science. Such authorization was given to K.M. Krzyżanowski, J. Panejko, T. Hilarowicz, W.S. Wachholz, and J.S. Langrod (all in Kraków), and T. Bigo, W.E. Rappé, M. Zimmerman, and W. Klonowiecki (all in Lwów). Only K.M. Krzyżanowski transferred his permission to Vilnius. Based on the given facts, it is clear that two universities dominated: Kraków fi rst and foremost, followed by Lwów. The levels of academic output distinguish two fields of interest: the the judiciary, and the functioning of territorial autonomy and administrative action. The paper deals with professors of administrative law and science at Polish state universities in Kraków, Wilno, Lwów, Warsaw and Poznań.
