Functioning of the Municipal Judiciary of the Radom Area in the Light of Jurisprudence in the Years 1929-1939

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the jurisprudence of the municipal courts in the Radom district from 1929 to 1939, covering both civil and criminal cases. The study seeks to demonstrate that the municipal courts were a key element of the judicial system, significantly influencing the efficiency of the common judiciary. The analysis includes an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the courts’ rulings, focusing on procedural efficiency, case duration, and the stability of issued judgments. The research is limited to the pre-war period, which allows for a better understanding of the actual impact of municipal courts on the society of the Second Polish Republic.
