The Formation and Structural Transformation of the District of the Court of Appeal in Lublin in 1917–1939

On 1 September 1917, the Royal Polish Judiciary was inaugurated, consisting of the Supreme Court and two appellate districts in Lublin and Warsaw. After the Republic of Poland regained independence in 1918, the Ministry of Justice took over supervision of the judiciary. The establishment of the Polish judiciary began under regulations and laws. Between four and six court districts operated within the Lublin Appellate District during the interwar period. The reconstruction of the Lublin Court of Appeal district began on 15 May 1918 and lasted until 1 October 1934, when its final transformation took place. Despite intensive work on many levels, the Lublin Appeal District of the interwar period did not extend its jurisdiction to the entire Lublin Voivodeship.
