Summary/Abstract: The article is bringing up issues of the organization and functioning of the School of the Law and of Administration. It acted in 1944–1945 years in the Craiova town in Romania. The school was the institution independent of the educational system. It didn’t become part of neither the system of the common education, nor the higher education system. Thus determining its status is also difficult. In saved documents it is treated in a similar way to the higher education however this had no grounds. There is no doubt that it was organized for Polish nationals staying in Romania, in the aim of integration of this environment. The American Committee of the Help to Poles was the founding and financing body of the School of the Law and Administration. Organizationally classes were divided in two semesters. Founders of this educational establishment predicted, that after the completion of World War II, listeners trained in different fields of the law, will return to the country. They were supposed to constitute the group of people trained in bases of the law, which could take up work as clerks. The difficult political situation caused, that after one year the activity of the school had been finished and plans of organisers thwarted.
