| Description | The faculty of law of Masaryk University, which had been established in 1919, was closed in 1950. In this paper, there are outlined the efforts which led to re-establishment of the Brno´s faculty of law in the rather relaxed atmosphere of the late 1960s. The paper is based on a vast research of the documents storred in the Archive of the Masaryk University and in the National Archive of the Czech Republic. It contains information that has never been published, yet. In the paper, there are emphasised mainly the efforts of the management of Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in 1968 aiming at re-opening of the faculty of law in Brno after twenty years during which it had been closed. It is also explained how this process was complicated, as there were other Moravian towns that had been interested to have the faculty in their territory, and how certain so-called bourgeois professors, i. e. teachers who had been removed from the faculty after 1948 (Vladimír Kubeš, Hynek Bulín, Jaroslav Pošvář, Jiří Cvetler) got involved in this process. Last but not least, the paper also describes the first months following the re-establishment of the faculty, i.e. from April 1969 till the ceremonial start of new school year in October 1969. |
