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.

abstract
The European Court of Human Rights, whose jurisprudence is presented here, is not a court specialising in private international law. However it applies the norms deriving from the European Convention on Human Rights to applications by litigants complaining of any type of national legal rules, including the rules of private international law. There are cases decided by the European Court in all fields of private international law, out of which the cases relating to the field of choice of law are presented here. The cases decided during the last ten years can be classified in cases on the human rights control of (1) equality before the national rules of choice of law, (2) the public policy exception, (3) fraus legis, and (4) the methodological choice between the application, to a status acquired abroad, of the forum’s own rules of choice of law, or, alternatively, the method of recognition of the result of the application of the foreign rules of choice of law. The case-law of the European Court has had, on the whole, a moderate – and moderating – effect on national choice of law rules.
