| Summary: | This paper is devoted to the beginnings of European legal thought which the author links to the Renaissance from whence the history of law branched out into various schools and philosophicalhistorical directions. While emphasising the importance of the historical-legal school for the teaching of legal history, particular attention is given to the teaching of South-Slav national laws.
Particular credit in this area and for the development of modern legal thought in Bosnia and Herzegovina must be given to famous lawyers Baltazar Bogošić and Eugen Sladović, the life and works of whom are mentioned in detail in this paper. Particularly mentioned is Bogošić’s General Law of the Land Code for the Princedom of Montenegro.
The other part of the paper brings out the basic characteristics of the Ottoman Civil Code (Mecelle) and its significance and influence on law in the South-Slav region.
The author concludes that the teaching and advancement of modern legal thought is the task of modern educational legal institutions, and primarily that of the Faculty of Law in Sarajevo as of both the Earth Science Museum and Oriental Institute. |
