Summary/Abstract: The article presents the works on the conception of criminal judiciary in the planned Polish occupation zone of Germany, conducted by the Ministry of Reconstruction of the Public Administration in the Government of the Republic of Poland in exile. The author focuses on the main and specific theses of the created conception of the judiciary. The article also contains a brief characterization of the Ministry of Reconstruction of the Public Administration. The main assumption of the project was to adapt the judiciary to the occupation system used by the US-British troops, it was believed that the judiciary in the entire Allied zone would have a unitary character, and the minimum goal for the Polish government in exile was to fill the judges’ offices with Polish personnel. The conception focused on the areas from the Polish-German pre-war border to the Odra and Nysa Łużycka lines as well as on East Prussia and this was the most important area of interest of the Polish government in exile.
