The beginnings of judicature in Łódź

Summary/Abstract: The development of regional political structures and organs of the judiciary did not manage to keep up with the intensive economic and demographic development intensifying in the second half of the 19th century. A breakthrough in the development of judicature came in 1863, with the transfer of the seat of the Justice of Peace of the District of Zgierz to Łódź. The following stages included a gradual increase in the number of justices of peace and setting up an independent region of the Congress of Justices of Peace in Łódź in 1888. Despite their intensity, the efforts to have a commercial court opened for Łódź in the days of Kingdom of Poland failed. The said court was set up as part of the independent judiciary only when Łódź became an independent court district.
