ВАЛТАЗАР БОГИШИЋ – СОЦИОЛОШКИ ПРИСТУП ПРАВУ И ПРАВНОЈ ИСТОРИЈИ
VALTAZAR BOGIŠIĆ – A SOCIOLOGICAL APPROACH TO LAW AND LEGAL HISTORY

Summary/Abstract: Valtazar (Baltazar) Bogišić, one of the greatest Serbian social scientists of the XIX century, has made a significant contribution to the fields of general sociology and sociology of law. He is particularly renowned for making many achievements in the areas of law and legal history by using his, at that time unique, sociological approach. The paper addresses in some detail Bogišić’s scientific approach and its development in interaction with the ideas of the Historical School of Law, the significance of his accentuation of the study of customary law, his innovations regarding the technical element of the scientific method – particularly the questionnaire, his sociologically-based approach to the creation of professional and academic legal terminology, as well as the application of the aforementioned approach in his scientific work (primarily the study of family) and in legislation, mostly during the creation of the General Property Code.
