Summary/Abstract: The article presents the challenges and difficulties faced by lawyers of the Second Polish Republic in the field of lawmaking. The experience of many years of partitions, the influence of foreign legal traditions, and the vocabulary adopted from foreign law were a problem in the process of preparing legislative projects. Actions taken by lawyers and linguists allowed to standardize the Polish legal language. As a result, the terminology and legislative techniques from one hundred years ago are still used today.
