Course description

The general content of the subject is focused on the development of the Croatian state (statehood) and the Croatian Law in the European Context. The development of the Croatian state in the Middle Ages, some institutes of Croatian medieval Law, and the development of the Croatian countries in the 19^th and 20^th century will be elaborated in the first part of the Lectures. Special emphasis of the second part of the Lectures will be placed on the modern and contemporary Croatian states and legal History in the 20^th century and on the establishing of the independent Republic of Croatian in the 1990^th .

The Students who have not passed a subject or topics regarding the issues on the general legal history, on their home Faculties, are obligated to prepare the topics on the general Legal History (The old, middle and modern era). The focus of the legal-historical system will be placed on those states and the Law Systems that most subtly represent a particular historical period and form the basis of the legal culture.
