Abstract
The reform of the education in law started already in the last years of the existence of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. The proposition of the Commission for the Public Administration was prepared for the Ministry of Cults and Education in 1913 and later it was passed to the all eight faculties of law in the monarchy.
The development was interrupted by the World War I and continued again with in the era of the independent Czechoslovak State. The efforts of Czechoslovak lawyers and students´ associations to modernize the education in law were finished in the end of the 30´s.
