Scientific activities

The department that has existed since the establishment of the law education in Győr operates in the field of state- and legal science. Its research covers the following fields: freedom of press and its legislation in the era of dualism; historical, dogmatic and comparative analysis of general clauses; historical determination of certain general particular legal institutions of contract law; historical analysis of crimes against the state; Hungarian history of the law of penalty enforcement; the history of efforts aimed at the suppression of international terrorism; the history of national military penal code and jurisdiction; and the history of modern regulation of the armed defence system.

The curriculum of law education and international administration courses specifies the teaching of five compulsory main courses for the Department of Legal History. Apart from the two legal history disciplines, each semester is comprised of general knowledge, and the knowledge and acquisition of Roman Law. Combined with the foundation of Latin language this will enable undergraduate students to be more prepared to continue their further studies. These subjects significantly contribute to the realization of requirements for the education of white-collar workers. Within the framework of a unified education of lawyers, teaching subjects of legal history and acquiring historical preparatory knowledge are indispensable.
