Ladies and Gentlemen,
We would like to kindly invite you to participate in the XVII International Scientific Conference from the series "From the History of Law" entitled "The evolution of civil law over the centuries - Volenti non fit iniuria", which will take place in a hybrid form on 26th-27th of May* (Friday - Saturday). Participation will be possible both in an online form via MS Teams (26th of May ,Friday) and stationary form in Cracow (27th of May, Saturday). We recommend online form especially for those, who will not be able to arrive in Cracow in person.
The event - held by the Jagiellonian University's Student Society for State and Legal History, the Chair of Polish Legal and State History, the Chair of World Legal and State History at the Faculty of Law and Administration of the Jagiellonian University and by Jagiellonian University's Student Society for Civil Procedure - is aimed at researchers in fields of law and history - in particular at Professors, D.Sc.'s, graduate students, PhD students and PhD graduates.
It is extremely difficult to overestimate the role of civil law and its meaning for the nations and for individuals. The multitude of functions and tasks, which have been transforming throughout history, have been the subject of numerous scientific studies until present day. In 2023, we celebrate the anniversaries of the legislative enactment of several important legal acts concerning both substantive and procedural civil law. 90 years ago the Polish Obligation Code and Presidential Act on Limited Liability Company were issued (1933). 125 years ago the Japanese Civil Code and French Act on Employer Responsibility in case of Workplace Accident went into effect (1898), 240 years ago there was Austrian Ehepatent also known as Marital Patent of Joseph II (1783), 155 years ago there was Austrian Marriage Act for Galicia Notzivilehe (1868). In 2023 we also commemorate 205 years of Hypothec Law of Kingdom of Poland (1818). Furthermore, 340 years ago the Danish Code of Christian V – Danske Lov (1683) was introduced.
We also hope that the above events will encourage a comprehensive discussion on the role and importance of civil law in the past, present and future, as well as the presentation of the results of your academic research.
Suggested topics include the following:
1. functions and tasks of civil law
2. the conception of contract
3. the rules of civil procedure
4. history of institutions of obligation law
5.history of institutions of hereditary law
6. history of institutions of property law
7.history of institutions of family law
8.history of the labour law
