Acta Universitatis Carolinae Iuridica (AUC Iuridica) is a legal journal published since 1955, which presents longer essays as well as short articles on topics relevant for legal theory and international, European and Czech law. It also publishes works concerning current legislative problems.
Although intended primarily for domestic audience, AUC Iuridica is useful also for foreign experts, who can take advantage of summaries in foreign languages (English, German and French) and key words, which are systematically added to the main articles and essays.
The published articles are subject to peer reviews. If necessary, reviewed texts are sent back to the author for revision.
AUC Iuridica accepts contributions from any contributor on any current legal topic.
The journal is registered in the Czech National Bibliography (kept by the National Library of the Czech Republic) and in the Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals (kept by the American Association of Law Libraries).
The journal is archived in Portico.

Menšinové jazyky a topografická označení v historii Československa

abstract
The status of minorities is a sensitive issue that poses a threat to peace in many regions, and it was so also in the past of the Czech lands. The most complicated issues arise if the majority and a minority in one state differ in their languages, where a large number of various particular problems occur which have to be resolved both legally and in practice, whereas they are usually terribly politicised. Here, most attention is given to a particular problem which is the use of minority languages in public signage. It seems to be a marginal issue, however, since the era of the Monarchy public signs have been of a special symbolic importance. Nevertheless, in practice it is difficult to control them; thus, the use of the state or minority language may cause irritation and lead to the damage or destruction of signs. Such incidents were plentiful at the end of the Monarchy era and at the time of inter-war Czechoslovakia, but they also came about at the time of the communist regime, and also in the Teschen Region (Těšínsko) after 1989.
