Abstract. In interwar
Czechoslovakia the arrival of young adepts to the legal profession was
influenced not only by the objective position of advocacy in society determined
by legal regulations (in particular the length of articled clerk´s experience,
degree of internal professional freedom) and by economic situation of the
lawyers or perception of this profession by the public, but also by the family
environment. The specific features of Slovakia were a relatively small territory,
the ideological closeness of the profession´s members, which appeared already in
the Hungarian period, especially among nation-oriented lawyers, and the fact
that law offices were established directly in homes of the lawyers, where their
families lived. These circumstances also contributed to the establishment of
family relations among lawyers. Lawyer´s families were connected by marriages of
sisters and daughters of lawyers with their colleagues. The lawyers employed in
their offices not only their sons, but also their other relatives. In some cases,
several siblings worked as lawyers. The most important Slovak lawyer´s families
were the Mudroňs, the Halašas, the Daxners, the Fajnors, the Jesenskys and the
Bazovskys. Many renowned pre-revolution lawyers transferred their legal
practices to their sons (e.g. J. Dérer, C. Horváth, S. Medvecký, P. Jamnický, A.
Pivko, E. Stodola) or nephews (e.g. I. Markovič, M. Mičura, D. Okáli). The
lawyer´s profession was later transferred from fathers to daughters and
marriages between female lawyers (articled clerks) and male lawyers were
concluded – they often performed the legal profession together. Lawyer´s
families in Slovakia in the interwar period were an important bearer of
traditional values of the legal profession and contributed to its development.
