Personalities of Romanian Magistrates in the Service of the Governing Council and Great Romania: Alexandru Marta, Ioan P. Papp and Pompei Micșa

Summary/Abstract: After the Union, the new Romanian administration had to take over all the institutions in order to reorganize the economic, social and political life of Transylvania and Banat, until the integration of these provinces into Greater Romania. The Governing Council, as a governing body, paid a particular attention to the justice system. The responsibility of the specialized resort lies with the lawyer of Oradea, Aurel Lazăr. He managed to convince a number of experienced specialists and expertise to join him in the team: Georgiu Plopu - magistrate at the Royal Curia, Ştefan Laday - counselor in the Hungarian Ministry of Justice, both highly trained, with experience in case-law, as well as in law-making, but especially very good connoisseurs of the codes in force in the united provinces, Alexandru Onaciu - former counselor at the Budapest Court of Cassation, Alexandru Marta - magistrate at the Court of Appeal in Szeged, Cornel Crăciunescu - magistrate, Ioan P. Papp - lawyer and so on. Their task was to rethink and make up-to-date in a very short period of time all that the justice system meant, while also preparing the prerequisites for its uniformity with the existing (but reforming) system in Romania. In this study we focused on three personalities: Alexandru Marta, appointed general secretary of the Resort of Justice who, after a rich organizational activity in the Governing Council, took over and led for many years the Court of Appeal in Timișoara; Ioan P. Papp, lawyer in Brad, with a tradition of several generations involved in the Romanian national movement in Beiuș area, married to Victor Bontescu’s sister (Hațeg), with an essential contribution in the organization of justice institutions, vice-president and first president of the Court of Appeal in Cluj; Pompei Micşa, magistrate, with roots in Hațeg, who became the first Romanian president of the Court of Appealin Cluj.
