České Budějovice notarial chamber and its members in the years 1851-1951
KÁROVÁ, Zuzana
This diploma thesis focuses on České Budějovice notarial chamber and notary public in its jurisdiction. The starting date for this diploma is the year 1851 when new notary regulations were promulgated by Emperor{\crq}s patent n. 366/1850 which marked the beginning of present notary public. Even though the notarial chamber itself was founded 20 years later, at that time notaries had already started to operate and the function of notarial chamber was administered by regional court. The second turning point was the year 1951 and the passing of law n. 115/1951 when notary public has been transferred under state control. The introduction of this work consists of a chapter explaining referential literature and sources. Concentrating on the appointed period, the next chapter discusses the development and organization of notaries from early beginnings. However, the core of this work is the history of the notarial chamber itself and the history of individual notarial districts the notarial chamber consisted of. Not only does this chapter describe the historical development of notarial chamber, but also its organization, its activities and the reciprocal relationships between notary public and courts. Employing the short biographies format, a special attention is devoted to individual notary public members. Notaries are portrayed as a homogenous profession and, taking their official job aside, another item of interest is their personal life and public position - as they quite often played a major role in public, political and cultural activities and belonged to regional elite. Another topic is the self-reflexions of notaries and the public opinion about this profession. The concluding part is followed by a list of literature and sources, tables and appendix with pictures.
