Summary/Abstract: During the Middle Age several law systems existed in Kingdom of Hungary. The center of one of these systems was Krupina. The law from Krupina evolved from the legal customs of the Saxons. Saxon ethnic group in the city was dominated by the judiciary and law. This dominance enabled the original customary law to develop into the city's law system. This law system was similar to the Magdeburg law and was relatively extended in the territory of medieval Slovakia. In the paper we will deal with the extension, forms and characteristics of this law system.
