Гарадзенскі бурмістраўска-радзецкі суд: суадносіны судовай практыкі з магдэбургскім правам (1639-1642 гады)
The Magistrate Court of Hrodna: the Compliance of Legal Practice with Magdeburg Law (1639-1642)

Summary/Abstract: The work of the Magistrate Court of Hrodna was scarcely studied in the historiography. The main source for the study of judicial practice was the 1639-1642 book. It provided the material for analysing the court work, its compliance with the law, and the court composition. The institution operated in accordance with the privileges and regulations, including the Speculum Saxonum and lus municipale. The court dealt with both document recording and consideration of lawsuits. The officials were qualified enough to keep records in accordance with the law, but conflict, abuse and delinquency took place nevertheless.
