Along with the law of the Roman Empire, the Austria-Hungary law was crucial for the formation of the cornerstones of today's modern advocacy. The thesis also covered chapters that included the definition of basic and associated terms that relate to advocacy, and last but not least a description of the current legislation of advocacy as well. The base of the thesis was represented by a historic period since the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia, through the second Czech-Slovak Republic, the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, the short period after liberation and the communist regime from 1948 until after the revolutionary year of 1989, which, for the Czech advocacy, featured a return to democratic roots and First Republic's traditions of...
