REFORMA SUDSKE VLASTI U SREDNJOVEKOVNOJ SRBIJI, ČEŠKOJ I POLJSKOJ

judiciary in the medieval Slavic world. In the 14th century, three important legal codes were enacted in Serbia, Bohemia, and Poland: Dušan’s Code, Maiestas Carolina and Statutes of Casimir the Great, respectively. The proclamation of these three codes was the result of strengthening the powers of their rulers: Emperor Dušan, the Bohemian king Charles IV, and the Polish king Casimir. Almost at the same time, these rulers passed very similar legal provisions on the reorganisation of courts.The main idea was to introduce special state judges, with the aim of suppressing and limiting the feudal and other forms of judiciary in their respective states.The reform of courts, the judiciary and court proceedings was part of the prevalent attempts to centralise state authority in the three Slavic states. This process is a phenomenon of substanital relevance in the history of Slavic law, particularly given the fact that it involved the most powerful rulers of these medieval states, who were one another’s contemporaries.U radu autor na osnovu tekstova relevantnih pravnoistorijskih izvora analizira pokušaj reforme sudstva u srednjovekovnom slovenskom svetu. U Srbiji, Češkoj i Poljskoj u XIV veku doneta su tri pravna zbornika – Dušanov zakonik, Maiestas Carolina i Statuti Kazimira Velikog. Proglašenje ova tri zakonika bilo je uslovljeno jačanjem vladarske vlasti. Car Dušan, češki kralj Karlo i poljski kralj Kazimir doneli su, gotovo u isto vreme, veoma slične odredbe o reorganizaciji sudova. Osnovna ideja bila je uvođenje posebnih državnih sudija, sa ciljem potiskivanja i ograničavanja feudalnog i drugih oblika pravosuđa u svojim državama. Reforma sudova i sudskog postupka bila je deo sveobuhvatnog pokušaja centralizacije državne vlasti u trima slovenskim državama. Takav proces predstavlja fenomen u istoriji slovenskog prava i vezan je za najmoćnije vladare pomenutih država koji su bili i savremenici
