O dziejach Wydziału Prawa UJ w dobie II RP
A History of the Faculty of Law of Jagiellonian University in 1918–1939

Summary/Abstract: The article is a full-length review of Przemysław M. Żukowski’s monograph Wydział Prawa Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego w Krakowie w latach 1918–1939 [The Faculty of Law of Jagiellonian University in Kraków in 1918–1939], Kraków 2017, Księgarnia Akademicka, 574 pp. The author based his research on an impressive range of sources. The thoroughness of the author’s approach is shown in both the structure and the contents of work, which is divided into five chapters. They are: 1) The Faculty of Law of the Jagiellonian University on the eve of Poland’s independence (pp. 35–70); 2) The basis of the functioning of the Faculty of Law 1918–1939 (pp. 71–136); 3) Professors, associate professors, assistants and administrative staff (pp. 137–248); 4) Chairs of the Faculty of Law (pp. 249–384); 5) Activity of the Faculty of Law in the academic, cultural, political and social life of the interwar decades (pp. 385–472). The article contains a handful of polemical remarks which, however, in no way diminish the reviewer’s high appreciation of the monograph.
