DIE ANFÄNGE DES RECHTSSTUDIUMS IM SERBIEN DER NEUZEIT UND DIE JURISTENAUSBILDUNG IN DER HABSBURGERMONARCHIE (EIN BEISPIEL DES RECHTSTRANSFERS)*
ESTABLISHMENT OF LEGAL STUDIES IN MODERN SERBIA AND LEGAL EDUCATION IN HABSBURG MONARCHY (AN EXAMPLE OF LEGAL TRANSPLANTS)

Summary/Abstract: The Higher School (La Haute École) was founded in Belgrade on 1st (old calendar), i.e. 12th of September 1808 (actual calendar). Despite the fact that the School has already been a subject of research, some of the questions remained disputable. One of them relates to its character, that is to the issue of whether it is acceptable to consider the School to be a predecessor of the University of Belgrade, and especially of its Faculty of Law, or not. In order to review that controversy, the author compares the system of higher education and the legal studies in the region of that time. The founding fathers of the Higher School and its first professors completed their legal studies in the Hapsburg Monarchy, so the author pays special attention primarily to the Austrian system of legal education after the educational and university reforms performed by Maria Theresia, expecting that it may explain the chief influences upon the Belgrade Higher School profile.
