Summary:

The legal system of the present-day Czech Republic would not be understood properly without sufficient knowledge of its historical roots and evolution.This book deals with the development of Czech law from its initial origins as a form of Slavic law to its current position, reflecting the influence of the legal systems of neighbouring countries and that of Roman law.

Czech law was fully dependent upon developments within the Luxemburg, Jagiellonian and, primarily, Habsburg monarchies,
